Somebody please tell me that I am NOT going to have to pay a charge to make a trade with somebody on Bladeforums? I just tried to log into the "new" advertisments, and it said my login wasnt recognized. Wazzup?

Sorry folks. I posted this stupid question/topic before I read the long one about the new exchange system. All my stupid questions have been answered.

I personally cast no blame on the dealers-think anyone who does is looking for a scapegoat. I think the owners are trying to make a profit without concern for we who take advantage of a great thing.

Well, thanks for your opinion, ThomM. I don't cast the blame on dealers as either... it's a multifaceted problem without any one, single cause.

While making a profit would be great, I'd settle for just making the site pay for itself right now. Do you have any suggestions on how we can keep this site open, continue to offer the same level of service, and yet never have anyone pay any money for it's use?

Failing that, do you have any suggestions about how we can be as fair and equitable as possible in distributing all of the charges (software, hardware, labor, operating) evenly, without making anyone unhappy?

Or is your perception of this just that we don't care about what you think, and just want to rake in as much money as possible? I'm interested in hearing what you have to say, but I'll clue you in - if you really think that, you haven't been paying close attention.

I guess some of you would rather we just shut down BladeForums.com instead of ever do anything to make it support itself.... but you can't please everyone.

I'm more than willing to open the doors for any and all viable solutions, folks. Let's hear them. I'm especially interested in any solutions you have, ThomM.
