My solution to cleaning up the Zoo (and 2+2)

[jek187]

This would be certainly help clean things up here as well. Did your idea get shot down by Mason and/or Mat?

Jek,

you were always a notorious spammer who contributed to the loss of a lot of the nice features this board used to have. Why should we welcome you back, let alone listen to your ideas?

Yeah, that's right, Jek is a notorious spammer. Just look through his posts, and you'll see almost none of it has to do with poker. If Jek or any other crybaby doesn't like it, then they should just leave.

So you think it is ok for jek to promote the sale of banner ads to be placed on his site on 2+2?

I am not talking about the banner ads he buys here, that is perfectly fine. Has he ever paid 2+2 for all the business he rounded up through the thousands of spam PMs he sent?

[/ QUOTE ] This is actually my first time presenting this idea though I have been thinking about it for some time. I am sure that it would not be a very popular decision for Mason or Mat to make as I am sure that it would get a lot of resistance. Also, I am not sure if it would be profitable compared to their advertising dollars they receive. I personally would pay for the right to use this board and keep it clean as it once was. Too much good and insightful information is getting lost by the BS that is posted here.

i'm sure you noticed that there are only 6 visible banners on this site. this is not to say that they only sell 6 banners, because it is a rotation system.

however, in all seriousness regarding your proposal;
there are many of us that wish this place was our little secret. however, these guys (conjelco) are clearly motivated by the money as well as the quality experience. you could make this a premium site, but that would immediately decrease hits. whether they want to admit it or not, conjelco loves the growth. this is evidenced by mason's 'progress reports'.

i'm certain the advertising revenue they have coming in now would be unaffected by this being a pay site. i.e. with only 6 visible banners, the banners could still fly. but, don't think for a second that these guys don't get woodies when they look at the growth charts.

perhaps a second site as a premium area would be successful, but this would dilute their numbers. also, the spammers and noise people are just as likely to pay the $5 as anyone, then they would have even more complaints.

finally, i don't think these guys have time to wipe their asses properly, much less start a new venture or make significant changes here.

Well then if they could just instal a little button that when pressed would make a trolls head explode I could let go of the charging idea. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I agree with your idea, however not many people on here remember or know what it was like on here 5 or 6 or 7 years ago.
