This question came up today during a conversation I was having with another member.

Don't worry....JG has no plans (and least none that he's made public) to start charging us.

Bloody hell plaw, I'm all for Left wing politics but not when I have to put my hand in my pocket! Delete this evil poll before Geoff starts getting ideas!

Here here!

Can't do it, Sally.

I'd pay. Geoff spends his hard-earned money to keep this site/forum running. He's asked for nothing in return.

However, the problem lies in the fact that there are members on here who may not have a means of income (kids in school), who may not be able to pay a fee.

However, I can think of one plus. I guarantee it would rid us of the majority of the riff raff on this board (names aren't necessary).

Nope, sorry, I can afford to pay so I would still be around.

Touche' to YOU, Doctor!

Nope, sorry, I can afford to pay so I would still be around. [/b][/quote]Rats! Ah well, it was worth a try, right? :p

Well, I wouldn't, so that's one less to stir the Right up!

Aw, c'mon, Mick. Even some of us conservatives (yeah, I know I'm not so "compassionate") need somebody to spar with, bro.!

He's telling the truth, money is scarce oop naarth. They eat pig's blood and bath in coal. Honestly.

Fuck the coal. We're even running short of that. I haven't bathed in months.

Seriously, I have no money.

So how do you feed your whippet?

He hasn't shown any signs of hunger since I fed him his own hind legs. In fact, he never even twitches.

Fair enough, cock! I'll pay for Mick then

I can afford to pay, and would be willing to pay $3 per month.

I agree. I don't see why we shouldn't subsidize the maintanance of these boards. After all Geoff has provided us with a great site here, probably the best in all of cyberspace. He has provided us with links to his other sites, and on those sites there are really some fantastic things for us to see as far as our hobby goes.

I cannot see what the big deal is to pay a few doallars a month to help our Godfather keep this place up and running.

Think about it. $2.00 per month breaks down to about .07 cents a day to have access to these boards. That is nothing.

I say that we pay tribute up to our Don.

If the time comes that Geoff does charge us I will be willing to offer my first born. JUST KIDDING But I would pay a reasonable fee. I'm to addicted not to.

I only post on a couple different boards and haven't paid for any of them. However, if Geoff decided to charge us, I probably would pay $3.00. Of course Geoff would have to draw up a contract listing all the "perks" we will receive, fringe benefits, health plan and retirement benefits.

Just think Geoff, if every member paid $3.00 per month....how many members are there? A couple thousand?? Man, you'd be rolling in the dough. :p

TIS

Hi TIS,

Don't forget he will have to pay for all of the hotel rooms we reserve for the BB Conventions

I wouldn't pay. Hell, maybe it would help me get a life.

Only if JGeoff offered to let me in for free. I think that would be a nice gesture and would show what everyone already knows: how much of a great man this person happens to be.

I haven't really thought about it. Although knowing how cheap I am I probably wouldn't. Plus as much time as I spend on the net it wouldn't really be worth it.

Okay, well, as much as I love the accolades now and then, and the kind gestures, please, rest assured, this will NEVER, EVER be a pay site!!

I would only charge a subscription for a porn site. :p

Thank you to those who expressed willingless -- and even to those who haven't! I made this and the other sites out of passion, not to make a ton of profit.

All I ask for is, nothing! (besides respect for your fellow board members)

But, those inclined to find anything of interest in any ads here -- especially for MobPosters.com and the Puzo Store -- are, of course, encouraged.

The ads help to offset hosting costs and other expenses, not to get rich. Support is appreciated, but will never, ever be required! The only requirement is, if we ever meet, you buy me a Stoli martini, straight up, with a twist.

I wouldn't be able to pay because our countries do not have any banking relationship. I'm only praying this site wouldn't join the rest that were filtered.

In that case I'd be willing to pay. :p

Hell, with your hollow leg it'd be cheaper to pay per post.

Take my advice people, your better off paying the $3 a month then to pick up this guy's bar bill! :p


Don Cardi

Geoff, over the past 5 years this site existed, did you lose money? On the overal I mean.

Btw, I wouldn't pay nothing.
