Race for the traffic and users. The fake webmasters!

yea the best are the sites with 8,000+ members and less then 20,000 posts, or the other way around and just use leech bots. lol

ralfy_tm - Hi, i disagree with your vip point, due to the fact us webmasters have server,licence and domain bills to pay, my sites for instance we are not talking about some ?80 a year shared hosting, we are talking about aproximatly ?600 A year server, ipb licence ?35 A Year and a domain bill aprox ?204, So Thats Aproximatly ?839 A Year costs and my site is not even that big compared to some of the bigger sites, imagine the cost to warez-bb for instance, Vip and ads are used for a reason to cover the expenses, with most webmasters, althought there are some out to make a profit you cannot paint us all like that.

Secondly, As A Webmaster I Care About Quality, which is why i have been striving to achieve this, which is one of the reasons i have a dedicated server so we can achieve a good quality of service and have room for expansion.

Thirdly As A Webmaster I Have NEVER used a leech bot or anything else to artificually make my site look better than it is.

Fourthly, As A Webmaster I Have helped other sites get started there is plenty of room for us all and there was a time with us all when we did not know how to run a site, for instance me without a freind of mine in 2006 who was admin on another site who explained about setting up ipb and ftp ect then i certainly wouldent have been able to setup when i did althought i would have worked it out in the end, Knowledge is power and we should all share our knowledge allowing us all to expand our knowlege base.

lol I put tons of hours of work into my site and am 3* on Katz lol with regard to VIP I think it's important to reward good, active members for their work, but unless the cost of your server is unaffordable without charging people I don't think sites should charge for VIP access

i use to like the idea of vip access but when u think about it, its just a bunch of junk u can get free at other places and not rlly filled with a ton of content :/
