My guess is Justin makes about $200-300 a year in profit. Apparently he thinks that's worth $10k. LOL

It is kind of sad seeing what the site once was and what it has been allowed to become because of that group. They know who they are, we know who they are, and yet moderators allowed them to run wild for so long that they have pretty much chased everyone off.

It didn't have to be this way.
Hear, hear. Reps x 1,000,000.

When you made your original offer the site was pulling in a lot more than that per year. It's still pulling in a lot more than that, but not nearly as much.

I also don't remember ever making a serious claim that I was looking for $10k to sell.

The trolling here isn't even bad. The reality is forums are dying in the age of social media and instant information. Unless you are already an established forum that appeals to a larger group, rather than a niche like this one, you will struggle to maintain members and activity.

We can't even blame Justin for this even if we all want to.

You don't have access to my adsense payouts. Post your supposed source and I'll let you know how close it is.

Certainly, I'm not denying that there has been a decline in revenue since the start.

Steubenville needs to be in the news again. Always makes for a bump in activity.

I think it's just an interent forum thing period. I'll go onto yappi or jjhuddle every now and again, and the traffic is pretty similar.

If you let people on the internet get to you; you have issues. Take this site (or any other similiar site) for what it is worth. You are going to have good discussion, bad discussion, nonsense and trolls.

"There are cliques and trolls that team up on me?"

7th grade girls are less dramatic than that.

^ exactly. Iggy is the biggest bitch on the Internet.

Edit: and before anyone says it. Tbone is not "in the clique". Just a random member who calls it like he sees it. If your really get offended by members of a message board you have some serious psychological issues.

What is the clique anyway? Is RMOLIN in it? We do need a black dude.
