Kinchy does have a point though.

Bummed to see that Automotive hotness and post your car/truck/motor vehicle threads are gone though.

Start a new one, but without the tits or other sinful content that was presumably in there polluting the internets.

Interesting stuff with the printer sheep, any videos of it in action?

What the fuck does google care about tits anyway. Fuck them and censorship. Photos of tits make up 90% of the internet anyway. Fuck you google.

I can google image search people eating their own shit, but they are worried about tits on a bmx site.

The AdSense network is considered family-safe, which means that publishers aren't permitted to place Google ads on sites which contain pornography, adult or mature content. If your site has content which you wouldn't be comfortable viewing at work or with family members around, then it probably isn't an appropriate site for Google ads.

Lmao what the hell.

Anyway I think we really need to have a conversation on the running costs of bikeguide and it's future etc.

Really sucks to lose all those threads.

That will be $1600 for software every 3 years, and $105 every month for hosting. No seriously, let me know and I'll send you the bill.  No? Then shut the hell up.

So that works out to about $1800 a year, or 150 a month to keep the site running...  That's actually a pretty big chunk of change.

How many active users do we have?  and I wonder what percentage of those would actually be willing to pay like 10 dollars a year?  Probably less than 15%.

What was the cost for premium membership when that existed?  and how many people opted in for that? 

Sorry for all the questions.  I just "feel" like there's got to be a way to make this site self sustaining that doesn't rely on google advertising.  I know from work experience, though, that what I feel and what reality is don't always line up.  Still doesn't hurt for me to take a look at it, and run some numbers.

Let's remember it isn't just Google that is advertising here, there are numerous bike shops, bmx media, and companies as well

could always take a page out of radbmx's book and have to buy an annual membership to post for sale and wanted adds and maybe a private locked sort of category where you can  post anything aslong as you have paid a bit like bmx-forum.com  have/had befor that turned to shit, like almost every other decent bmx related forum has.

maybe a monthly/bi-monthly raffle  £5 a ticket to win some part or frame from some company or some shit?

failing that could always find a way to create a spam bit and spam every other forum with this ones web address and perhaps get some new members and a bit of life/income into this place?

Sheepdogs achievements:

1. Moves forum over to 'better' host, many old members lose log in details.

2. Removes rep

3. Deletes popular threads

Thanks m8

You forgot "Created & Funded Bike Guide".

It's good to see you are still around... I thought you handed over the site to Kurt @ BMX Union a while back though?
