This forum needs beef to thrive... Real Talk

[Dirty Octopus™]

At the end of the day, this is a business.
Like it or not, it is what it is...

If a select few on IA are bashing new members day in and day out, the numbers don't grow...If the numbers don't grow, sponsors don't sign on or stick around...

Like I said, it is what it is...a business...

i may be a little slow but please do enlighten me and explain the role of the sponsors signing and sticking around. (for real. im no business expert )

cuz from what i gather... if i am a "bashed" new member and i'd like to have a sponsor service me why would being bashed by someone irrelavent stop me from getting work done? you can call me a cock sucker mother fucker for posting bad pics all day long but that doesn't erase the fact that i may want Bucky to paint my wheels, silversol to sell me a swap, Mainstream or Battleground to install it, and Dynamic Sound to give me the hookup on 6x9s.

Nobody is going to make me stop using the resources that IA has provided. NOBODY

Ok.

New members get bashed. Repeatedly.
A sponsor or prospective sponsor sees this.
Sponsors pay this website to advertise.
Sponsor money keeps this forum running without members having to pay because afterall, money doesn't grow on trees and forums require money to run, not hopes and dreams...
Sponsor decides to drop their support because they do not want to be associated with a web forum that allows it members to rail others based on gender, race, ethnicity, or any other variety of reasons, because it's not a good look...money goes away....

ahhhh the association part is what i neglected to factor in. thanks Los

okay. with that being said. why does MTV play Eminem videos?
he raps about Gays, Christopher Reeves, drug abuse, & his horrible mother.
I, the Tide® rep, don't agree with his philosophy. but i don't let that affect me and continue to have them play my commercials. does this apply in one bit to the sponsor situation? Or was that a horrible example?
