What would you do if the forum had a subscription fee (to post classifieds, etc)?

VB - Couldn't it just be a matter of, say, every 3 months a quick post to show how big the honey pot is?

This is already done.

But it's irrelevant, you want to use that information to stem your contributions based on the your view that the only costs are material and that so long as material costs are just covered then no more need ever be given. The result of which is that you specifically wish to see transparency so that it is used to actively deny the potential to make a profit should that even be possible. As I said earlier, I don't think it's possible, and it's not a motive... but fuck you Paul Michel if you think I'm going to act in a way to please you that goes against a simple notion that I'm allowed to make a profit. I'm not going to act in a way that denies it on principal.

Ah fuck it... your alias can go back to being banned you selfish motherfucker.
