I have been a member for a month now, and something has been bothering me. First, maybe it is my boring personality, but I am getting bored with alot of the chatter. Similar to my dismay with the Yahoo boards. However, this is at least with intelligent people (you're welcome). I know I could stop, but occasionally I find some good info. Here is my real problem however.
There are probably no more than 1,000 active (really active) posters. We all pay ten dollars a month for this honor. That is $10,000 per month in total, or $120,000 for the year. Interestingly enough, we are providing the CONTENT for SI to sell adds for. I would guess that the adds that all of the voyeurs see amount to millions of dollars. Are we being taken like Tom Sawyer took his friends white washing the fence? Maybe my numbers are wrong. But if they are right, we could all go on strike, form our own board, and make a living (co-op style) out of what we enjoy anyway. What do you think?
SI probably won't put this one on their homepage. BTW, SI, I think these boards are the best thing going, so don't get mad at me.:)
