Title: Trial Run
Post by: Josetann on September 24, 2001, 01:58:11 PM
I had every intention of taking TTG offline permanently.  I\'m giving everyone a second chance.  If you can\'t show me any respect, then I don\'t have to deal with it.  It would be MUCH easier to call it quits, and lead a somewhat normal life.  You guys don\'t understand the time, and money, that goes into this site.  I have tried various ways to generate some kind of cash flow.  I tried ads, everyone hated them.  Then I tried a much less intrusive PayPal donate link.  Well, a lot said they may donate in the poll but no one has.  Then I am accused of being \"dishonest\" by trying to sell a product for more than I paid for it.  I\'m sorry, but isn\'t that how one makes money?  Not to mention all the extra time I was putting into configuring said product, saving the user a couple hours of headache...well worth the small amount I charged IMHO.

And to top it off, no one wants to respect the few ground rules I have in chat.  If you were new there and broke a rule, I\'d give you a warning.  Fair enough, you didn\'t know.  But people who have been there from the beginning, should know better.  I only have two hard-set rules.  No warez or porn links in the main chat.  If you wish to do that, private message the person or start your own channel.  It\'s as easy as double-clicking the other person\'s name, or typing \"/join #warezforall\" (or whatever name you want to give the chat).

Things will be changing.  If you don\'t like it, tough.  If I don\'t like it, that\'s it.

As always, I will listen to your opinions, even if I strongly disagree with them.  You can email me at [email protected] ([email protected]).
