    Also please note that the AFL is in draft season, and our sister site bigfooty is getting huge numbers right now.

    If this is true, I'd like to choose AFLette with my #1 pick.

    :D

    Hey now! AFLette was not left unprotected in the draft.

    In fact, I named her my franchise player.

    Huss,

    Perhaps you should change your web Hosting service provider. It seems you are not well-served by your current one (especially if your organisation has chosen to do it in-house).

    :(

    Haha i think the server is so messed up it accidently turned my red card into a yellow :eek: then again i am a powerful being and maybe the site couldn't handle an angry tiger god.
    Either way looks as if the problem has been fixed for the moment being as god is once again back in da hizzle.

    Were you dropped on your head as a baby?

    Just asking.

    Look, nobody has ever claimed that BigSoccer was a charity or a 501(c)3 or anything else. They run a soccer store, they make some money off of it and more power to them. They clearly hope that people who care enough about soccer to spend time on a soccer discussion website will also go to the affiliated retail store and spend a few bucks.

    It would appear that that was the original business plan and probably is still the heart of it.

    But whether you do or don't patronize their retail site does not affect your ability to use and enjoy BigSoccer to your little (in your case apparently VERY little) heart's content.

    This is not a public utility, Mango.

    Look, let me put it another way:

    We all, presumably, have a certain amount of disposable income. Because it's not limitless (at least in my case) we have to make choices about what we do with it.

    I personally choose to spend some of it in support of a website. My money, my business.

    You choose NOT to support said website. No skin off my nose.

    But if I get some stuff, some access advantages or maybe the right to post an avatar of an underage porn star, well, I've paid to do so.

    I just get tired of people whining that they're not getting for free what I'm paying for. If you think there's some form of extortion going on, then if I were you I'd leave and not come back.

    But this juvenile whining is ridiculous. The deal is what the deal is. Take it, leave it, who gives a crap. Just quit whining.

    Whats unusual about that? You are already being served the standard site architecture, all the ads, and the busy message. Its just the forums data they are restricting service on.

    its a pretty suckful tactic from a public relations viewpoint, regardless of whether the issue is real or not.

    I believe you looked past the amusement in the email advert, that username was obviously red carded because of the distasteful humor in being named "Osama Bin Laden", but an email dispatched to this user asking to shop at BigSoccer.

    About your other rant, I have no problem if non-paying members get to use avatars and other small ammenities because after all we all paid to "help support this site", but it appears you did in order to have an avatar of "an underage porn star". It's funny though, shows how much of your paycheck went into buying membership, a better job might ease your fustration because it appears you continue to stray away from the topic.

    Dear Bill, Let me ask you a question
    ARE YOU ********ING DRUNK ?
    do you have any idea what you are talking about?
    did anyone said why we have to pay for this site? did anyone said anything about the amount that we have to pay?
    what in the hell are you talking about? we are saying this is not the way to get money from users. that's all. why the ******** are you making this complicated for yourself? simple question.

    YES!!!!! That's it exactly!!!!!

    I paid Huss thirty freakin dollars because I longed so desperately for a photo of Traci Lords.

    As for my paycheck, well, I'd be glad to bet that - just like my johnson - mine is bigger than yours. A LOT bigger.

    So much single malt, so little time.

    Blame God.

    Depends on the subject, Corky.

    Sometimes I'm a veritable expert, sometimes I'm just making it up.

    Is there a point in our future here?

    See, the POINT is that you DON'T "have to pay for this site"

    I try and I try and you kids just don't pay attention.

    My wife often asks the same question.

    I refuse to worry about it until the day my clients start asking the same question.

    And all I'm saying is that the theory that the people who run the place a purposely sabotaging your service in a nefarious scheme to extract money from you is beyond ridiculous.

    "That's all"

    Au contraire, I believe that my position on all of this, ie: "Pay if you want, don't pay if you don't, but either way quit whining like a nine year old girl about it" is simplicity personified.

    Simple question, simple questioner.

    Ah the symmetry of life.

    Pass the Laphroaig.

    Suit yourself, shorty.

    And while we're here

    Could you explain

    why you use that annoying font?

    I bet that when you write in cursive

    you dot your "i"s with little

    smiley faces and hearts.

    Right?

    Aw, now that' so cute. I just love guys who use cute little clip and paste cartoon mice to point out that they have nothing whatever to say.


    Love,

    "Poor Man" Archer


    (PS: Since this thread has now completely degenerated into you two feebs making junior high level attempts to get over on me, let me remind you that once upon a time there WAS a topic here.

    Specifically, whether BigSoccer is trying to extort money from you. Your avoidance of the point, signified by your last couple of posts, makes one suspicious that you have nothing whatever to say.

    Which of course proves my point.

    Thanks for playing. Better luck next time)

    You have a short memory... anyone reading from page one will notice since your arrival in this thread you have done nothing but type sarcastic garbage.

    But then again you're poor so your bitterness is understandable.

    You're not very good at this, are you?

    Maybe if you tried a new font it would help. Just a thought.

    Frankly though I'm still waiting for you to make a coherent point.

    I've been making a point, and I've been consistently making the same point, from the very beginning.

    If people - like, oh I dunno, you perhaps - just say stupid, pointless indefensible stuff intermixed with mindless gibberish then you deserve sarcasm.

    It's not my fault that you can't complete a thought, have nothing to say and wouldn't be able to say it due to lack of writing sckills and mental agility anyway.

    Like I said, if you don't want to pay for BigSoccer, then don't. I really don't care.

    Since it appears you have so much time with your minimum wage pay, why don't you do a search of this topic at vBulletin.
    You're never too old to learn things poor man... enlighten yourself.

    So you have nothing whatever to say about, you know, the topic?

    Didn't really think so.

    Only guys with no money try to convince you how much they have.

    Sort of like people with small dicks.

    Stop overcompensating. You'll find lots of women who'll lie to you and tell you size doesn't matter.

    Maybe you'll even find one who says she LIKES living in a doublewide with you. Until it's reposessed.
