I'm sure Charlotte's site is very economical to host with its 7 members.

Awe BIG STIFF,, is that supposed to hurt my feelers?

If you would read up further,, it doens't cost anymore to host for the amount of members,, its the bandwidth usage and whether or not you have a dedicated server or not,, tsk tsk,, techy newbies!!

My disclosure of my membership is not up for discussion,,but I know who to invite and who not to.. FOR SURE!!

BUt wait,, is this thread about me, or the $50.00 up-charge?

Looks like it's about your website, just sayin.

[Charlotte Carrington]

I was asked a question,, and I answered it..if you want to talk about me, start another thread..

STAY ON TOPIC GENTS

Just sayin!!

Where's the captain when you need a grammar Nazi???? Fist off it is site not sight. Second PI has criminal charges against him not a lawsuit........ unless there is something I don't know about.

I don't expect PI to be giving us updates on his legal proceedings. That wouldn't be prudent on his part. I just think it is foolish for them to think they can censor the news. I think most frequent posters know whats happening and the behind the scenes rumors are worse than an open discussion but hey.......maybe I'm wrong.

BTW........ Dames4u......... Did you make a New Years resolution????? I like the new posting style........... I even find myself mostly agreeing with you.

I can see discussing the latter, but implying that if he was profitable then he shouldn't be charging 50 - again, there's a sense of entitlement there that I simply don't understand.

I assume that is directed at me. If it is. obviously you did not read what I wrote - here it is again:

Oh, one last point. It is laughable though how some folks defend the 50 fee by saying it is to cover the site's operating cost. that is BS. yes, some funds are needed to do that but I would bet that is easily covered by provider ad fees. And even if it is not- do the math. Say conservatively a couple thousand a month for hosting fees - so $24K a year. Right now Indys shows 23,617 members. If each paid $50 well that is nearly $1.2 million a year, likely tax free. But lets say most of them are occasional members. Lets say there are 1,000 guys who pony up $50 a year - that is $50K a year - and that is not including any revenue from provider ads, etc. Far more than what it costs to run

Bottom line - he is entitled do what he wants and if he wants to make a profit, have at it, this is America baby. Lets just not have people believing it costs that much to host the site

I clearly said he could do what he wants - and if that includes making a big profit, so be it. My "analysis" was simply making fun of those who seem to believe it costs a ton of money to run the site. It does not. I really don't care if he is out to make a profit, as i said, it is the American way. But people should not deceive themselves about the costs

omg....
you're correct...it would not be prudent for pi or any defendant to talk about their case in a public forum...so why ask....you should be able to search the net for any updates in the case so i'm not sure how pi could censor the news any place other than indys....
a simple way to avoid rumors is don't believe them.....
there could be a lot of things you don't know...

Well my friend owns a lobotomy clinic and I get 50% off. Seems to be helping.

Plus I don't think I'm the only one. The general tone on here has improved greatly since late November and early December. I mean yesterday I found myself mostly agreeing with what Amish was posting.

What is the world coming to?

[bambino]

I don't think the tone has changed, it's been slow and a lil boring. Nothing that an Indys thread can't cure. I've been hangin down Houston way and some national forums.

I am still green over there and I can tell you by checking the vouched clients that there are less than 500 guys that are still green. At that rate new girls will have a hard time getting vouched especially somewhere like Columbus where I live. If there are only 500 guys total that can vouch how many do you think are in Columbus? 100? Maybe? Eventually everyone will be blue and the 50 argument will go away. The site will stagnate and eventually die.

[Guest123018-4]

Hay, ewe knead two stop and thank about it, eye am own topic. It seams the topic is about bitching about something that ewe cannot change. Either pay the fifty oar don't. It is up two ewe too decide what you're false cents of security is worth.

We keep focusing on the $50 aspect of being green on Indys. I think the bigger issue for all the green squares are guys that don't see three or more providers a year to get the green square.

But hey that's what Indys wants to be, a bunch of guys that bitch about everything and never actually fuck and a bunch of senior citizen Ohio cows that bitch about everything and never get fucked.
