What I pointed out was the tendency of these supporting members to lord their status over others, using it as an excuse whenever a complaint comes up. It's not just this board, it happens on all boards.
I'm in the website business, so I have a pretty good idea what it costs to run this site. Yeh, it's a lot.
So thanks to those responsible for creating and running the site, but no thanks to the people that tell other people to shut up because they aren't a "supporting member".

I think he was refearing to other times when a non-supporting member offers an idea that isnt up to par in some peoples minds and then they say it is worthless and shouldnt talk....sort of like xtremeskier posts [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] lol jk...

Just an observation but it seems that all the people complaining are the same people that aren't Supporting Members

Keep reading my posts and try to understand them. Everyones opinion is wanted but it seems that the loudest complainers are just that, loud. Instead of just complaining, do something about it. A suggestion isn't "this is BS, make it faster".

Indeed, "shut up" wasn't the exact quote, but it refers to the dismissal of complaints by those who are not supporting members. I maybe be a civil complainer, but there are other good reasons to dismiss the jackasses besides pointing out that they don't support the site. By saying it to others, it seems implied to the rest of us.
So perhaps it would be less offensive to many if the ranting jackasses weren't dismissed using an excuse that applies to people that aren't acting like a rabid 14 yr old.

Interpret it any way you like, that's not how it was intended.
You guys enjoy yourselves here, complain until your heads pop. I'm done discussing something that is obviously a sore subject with some.
Chumley, relax man it's the internet
There will be no more replys from me.

Just the title of the thread can show you how lame it is going to be. Fast-Ed, Stop complaining, because the site may not have enough dough to be up without those threads, why dont you support, then complain [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Qwest installed our new line today. If you noticed we were down a few times today, its because while bringing in the new line they knocked down the other line several times. Anyway, the new line is scheduled to go live around May 8th and will double our internet bandwidth. That should take care of any speed problems that you have encountered.
