The TFP is not a business. It is a hobby. It's a project. As I've found, you cannot even incorporate it into a physical institution as a business plan because the fact of the matter is - discussion is not a commodity.
It's your fascist little thought police project with heavy handed moderation.

What you have done quite aptly demostrates the tragedy of the commons. You have something like 50,000 regs, and can't get enough monthly donations to foot the bill? Wow! That is about as stark as it gets.

I have no doubts that halx will raise enough to ensure the continued survival of TFP- the problem was not that the members didn't want to donate, but instead that they didn't know there was a need.

99% are here for free pr0n.

Considering that pr0n is one of the most profitable businesses on the internet, it's rather pathetic that the board owner can't figure out how to create a $400 per month income stream from pr0n in order to cover the expense of the board.

Could we at least try to not make up statistics?

Please, could you check out the threadcount and post count for the TB, compared to the rest of the board? As well, check out how many replying in the TB are also making quality posts in other areas of TFP. Yes there are those who just come for the free pornography in the erogenous zone but it is certainly not 99%. I don't even think it's a majority.

So not only do I hate capitalism, I am also a fascist. Heh. You have issues. Major fuckin' issues.

The TFP is obviously not the place for you, McCarthy, but why are you still here?

You keep making statements that demonstrate how LITTLE you know about what goes on here at the TFP. You forget that life is all about PERESPECTIVE and your opinion is being formed from only a singular point of view. You forget that you may not have the correct angle. You forget a lot of things.

The TFP has about 50,000 member records in the database. Of those, I'm willing to bet that about 5000 of them are actually active. The reason for such a dramatic difference? Over 2 years of dead accounts from lurkers, banned users, unconfirmed accounts, and people who simply decided the TFP was not for them. I could prune the users, if I wanted to. It's always handy to keep it there though, so people like you can make your bogus accusations to show how little you actually know about the REAL process.

Once again, we're using our brains here. Calling the TFP fascist is about as dynamic a thought as calling your arab neighbor a terrorist. How could you possibly hope to know what goes on with the thought process of the staff? I need to remind you that life is all about perspective. Everyone approaches a situation differently, with different biases and different experiences.

I hate to put it so bluntly, but I'm really ticked off that some of you people feel the need to make this bullshit accusations. The bare truth is that you do not know shit about the things you are commenting on. You are trying to call other people on what you THINK they are about. You have never met them in your life. You have never had a person to person conversation with them either. Yet, you somehow feel comfortable calling them fascist? WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?!?!?

God damn it, I cannot believe the ignorance under which some people operate. Yeah, I know I'm going a little over the edge here, and I probably have no chance of making you see eye to eye with me because I'm attacking YOU, but right now, I could give a shit about making friends with some jackass know-it-all on the internet. I'll spend every ounce of energy and will that I have in defense of the people who have given me their trust (the loyal users of the TFP, the staff of the TFP, the generous donors, and my real friends) and saying anything like what you've been belching out is an attack on the ideals of ALL of those people. I will not stand for it.

Actually since everyone has to meet a certain number of posts BEFORE they are open to the porn I guess, that blows your theory out of the water.

Plus if 99% are here for the free pr0n. that still leaves 3000 active that aren't.

Instead of being bitter, realize that Hal created and worked extremely hard to make this a wonderful place, that is pretty much censor-free, allows free thinkers to post on any topic they so desire and get feedback, a place where TRUE friends can be made and a place where one can learn on any subject because there is someone here that can help.

This is a diverse and beautiful creation and we owe Hal thanks for his vision, not to condemn him or bad mouth him anonymously while we take full advantage of HIS site.

I believe this creation can become so much more than just what it is and I for one am thankful that we have someone like a Hal that is willing to try. He surrounds himself with great people (the admins and mods), Artelevision, Analog, Maleficient, Tecoyah, UnclePhil, Sin, Lebell are just some of examples of the wonderous minds he has surrounded himself with.

This is not to brown nose because I DON"T HAVE TO. I can take advantage of this place and mind my business and not say a damned word and noone would think any less or more of me.

I choose to write this because in all honesty I love TFP and the diverse people here, and it is because of Hal and who he has chosen to surround himeslf with that makes this place what it is.

So once I get a physical addres some of my hard earned dollars will go to Hal to keep this haven, again, NOT because I have to or because I have ulterior motives, but solely because I believe in Hal and the people that make this place a home and family to those of us who choose to see it, believe in it and use it for what it is.

Perhaps if you had bothered becoming part of this community you would understand.

Instead you are one of those sad individuals that comes into someones house, spreads shit on the walls and calls it "free speech". Then you complain when the owner cleans it up.

Why don't you go somewhere else?

Actually with the headaches from people like you and the daily headaches we on the outside never see, I'm surprised and grateful to Hal, the Admins and Mods for staying and keeping this place going.

I can honestly say I probably wouldn't. I'd say fuck it and close it down.

I think it takes a strong and secure person to do what these people do and to ask for help, well sometimes people realize no matter how great ideas are, they can't do it alone.

I probably should have done it sooner/more often but I do have two little boys to feed plus mortgage. I can't contribute much but $10 has been sent. I'll go work an extra hour or two of O.T. next couple of weeks. I think this is a cool forum. People that don't want to be here are free to leave, who's holding them back? If you are going to linger around, let's all be nice and respectful.

Whatever you think is appropriate, based on what you can afford and what you get out of TFP.

Every little bit does help out...

As mal said, whatever you feel is appropriate. If you can kick in $5 - $10, that would be great. If you can send more, we certainly wouldn't complain. Just send what you're comfortable sending, that's plenty. If everyone just chipped in a little bit, Hal wouldn't have to worry.

And sweetpea, get a smooch ready, because I'm sending out some cash this week.

wonderwench..if you call the TFP "fascist"... and start your experience here by talking a load of crap about people trying to do good, and criticizing their attempts to keep this great community running... then don't be surprised when our little regime (i assume thats what you'll call it) gangs up on you.
You just got here, the 1st things you say are negative. You invite yourself in the TFP and talk shit about the guys running it. How do you expect your opinions to be valued???
TFP is evolution, and you're all the way at the bottom. You probably haven't even had a good look at the greatness of communication and exchange of ideas and ways of thought here.
If you're gonna post the same kind of indirect "just sayin" crap, then you've missed the purpose of this system. stay at the bottom.
Halx, please don't ban him yet. I'd like to see how stupid and senseless his comments get.

Obviously the person attacking Hal and TFP knows little about both. That has been established thoroughly, and all I wonder is if perhaps said person IS here for the TB?

Personally, that's not what I came for and that's not why I came back after a year and a half away. It's also not why I stay.

I come for the people. I come for the open affection I get from many other TFPers, for the opinions, for the advice. I come for the "ladies in arms" feeling I get from the LL, the opportunity to offer my expertise in Sexuality. But really, I stay because of the people--because of Halx, sweetpea, Charlatan, Gilda, kramus, Shanifaye, K-Wise, tecoyah, abaya, amonkie, Lebell, sexymama, ngdawg, ratbastid, lurkette, TOK, Squishor, Sage...I could go on and on and on with my list as to why I come here (and if I missed you I sincerely apologize).

And THAT is why I donated.

Dear wonderwench,
you come into a person's place on the internet, your sense or democracy and freedom
doesn't apply when there are rules and ideals that you should follow. You will never subject Hal to the extent where you ridicule OUR and the TFP's ideals for what or how things are done. NOT ON MY WATCH. Never more.
I have two words for you and your stupidity or ignorance to get the message of what we stand behind here at the TFP.
BYE BYE.

What he said.

I donated as soon as I saw the announcement, but just found this thread.
