Future of Punters Lounge

[Joe]

Personally as a mod I think all this goings on is pretty shite really and Ollie should be here to sort it out and if he can't be, give the forum away. I think that a decent forum should be able to charge for membership. This prevents spammers coming here an ruining it for the regulars. Currently I think you can purchase 6 months EZ supporter membership for about $7, that's about £4.50, i.e. fcuk all for someone who is serious about this forum. You can then get a little gold button showing that you care. ;) There are too many tight-arsed creatures who expect something for nothing in this world, and football betting advice is no exception. Market dynamics usually dictates that what starts out as free ends up as costed. You then have a choice between visiting a free, but potentially less well organised forum where spam is rife and iinput is of a lower standard or paying a small fee for a service you know you can rely on. :)

Re: Future of Punters Lounge Unfortunatly you cant charge for something that isnt yours. This forum is the property of EZBoard Inc, and frankly anyone can set one up. More over a subscription cost would mean no new members. I wouldnt pay for something I hadnt seen yet. While spamming is annoying, thats what moderators are for! While I admit a ban would be nice for persistant offenders, with Ollie away thats not possible. Therefor I agree on one point - ownership should be shifted
