editor Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 You really ought to consider charging us all a small annual membership fee to at least pay your hosting fees. It's the least we could do to help keep this thing a float. Just keep reading and posting. It's the ad revenue that keeps HAIF afloat. Will this be the actual design for the billboard Editor? No. It's one of the designs of the bumper stickers that virtually nobody bought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he was sending it to you.Where's my bat?Wayne's birthday is coming up soon, April 27th I believe.Call me cheap, but if he offers the $1 dollar/month deal like last year count me in for a $12 renewal.I can't help be think all those items on Cafepress.com are Chinese made.I'd rather have 100% of my cash go to Wayne rather than China and Cafepress share it with him.

PuroAztlan Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Do we even have one of these in Houston ? We get to look forward to a freeway interchange when we hit the millenium mark ? I miss the old Houston bldg icons already. Wow, a non-subscriber complaining about a free message board that no one is forcing him to post on. Pretty ballsy don't you think?

lockmat Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Itunes is free?c'mon, you get what i mean. There probably aren't many people who pay to use any message board. Facebook, myspace, flickr, blogger, citydata, etc. All free. No membership fees. HAIF sure does breed literal people. We don't know when to interpret hyperbole or other tropes. I guess it's more fun to stir things up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highway6 Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Wow, a non-subscriber complaining about a free message board that no one is forcing him to post on. Pretty ballsy don't you think?My aesthetic complaints don't reflect on my enjoyment in using the site or my appreciation for editor in keeping it running. That being said, we all not only the right, but the duty to a better haif, to let the editor know of our preferences, let him know the things we like, and let him know the things we don't like.I would hope the editor takes mental notes of his kingdom's likes and dislike and take those notes into consideration when the next round of aesthetic decisions come up.Ps. I also am not big on the color briefcases... harder to identify as fast the new posts.Pss. Editor, eventhough i'm part of the 99% of your users who havent financially supported Haif by buying stickers, I do like this site and think you do a swell job with it.Pss. I didn't even know stickers were available or that we even had a cafe express site, and I'm not going to make some Chinese excuse for not purchasing something... so please post the cafe express link and I shall purchase something soon....I don't see a Store Link anywhere on the main forum page or the Everything Haif Page.....Ahh....

PuroAztlan Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 There probably aren't many people who pay to use any message board. Offtopic.com is one of the 10 largest message boards in the world with 98,022,776 posts and 190,856 members, and it is subscription only. So you can't really say "there probably aren't many people who pay to use any message board." Just sayin' I was thinking of the Bolivar Light, but didn't have a picture of it. Nothing says "Houston" more. It's the Biloxi, Mississippi lighthouse. Not exactly the East Coast. I used Houston pictures where I could. Sorry my hard work isn't good enough for you. I'll try to do better next time. ^ I think Editor felt a little pricked by the comments too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest is free. The point is, the online market is largely free-based. Fee-based usually comes in if you want it at a premium, like flickr or wsj.com. I don't care enough to research and come up with statistics, but I'd be willing to bet most message boards, social sites and things like it are free.

crunchtastic Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Hey editor,Cafe Press shirts are screened on order, right? If that's the case, can you do the artwork on the back?

woolie Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 I might buy a sticker and put it on my bike. The girl won't let me put bumper stickers on the car.
