On the plus side though, really like the new Celeb BB theme - which makes a change.
Hardly a money making scheme when the owner of the forum pays general running costs and added extra costs without asking any of us members to pay a penny.

He's put it on here, it's optional. It's an alternative to ads on the site, which I'm sure people would complain about as well. Not only this, but I'm sure he paid out his(and James') own money to implement it too.

Like I said before, if you don't like it don't use it. It's only a bit of fun :blush2:
No text speak allowed :nono:

Don't like it personally, looks a bit tacky and it takes up quite a bit at the top along with the other two boxes, the left one I don't even understand it's purpose but meh each to their own I suppose.

Great idea! Myself and the internet elders like it.
Do ds charge a fee for new members?

DS charge a fee if you have an unreliable e-mail like hotmail etc.

Exactly.

If there's a 75% chance that Mark is going to lose money from it rather than gain it then it would make sense to get rid of it. If you want the shoutbox, then use a regular one which people can post to instantly without a charge.

I know I'd rather spend my money on a Big Brother vote - and they're 15p cheaper too.

Well in that case where is the sense in having it? Surely a standard shoutbox would do the job just as well.

Mark 04-01-2009 10:24 PM
No because a normal shoutbox would be overused, and spammed to death.

I'm quite happy to break even on it all, if it happens then great. And Matt I'm a gambler :devil:

End!

super cynical revenue raising .$$$$ lol
...it's like stealing kiddies pocket money ... no wait!!! omg you are LITERALLY taking candy from a baby.

Then again if it subsidises my TIBB b*tchfest pleasure by keeping this site running then I thinks that's great.
