Here's my take on the issue. BGOL wasn't founded on being the infamous message board. It's a paysite no different than ****************, **********.com etc. The message board was an alternative, mind up this site was around was online porn was still in its grassroots. For well over a decade, HNIC maintained this board, changed the layout over time, filtered plenty of good threads unfortunately, but still, for roughly 12 years, it remained free with a VOLUNTARY donation disclaimer.
Were you around when BGOL had to shut down temporarily to squeeze a donation out of us? That's the reason it's still around. Ask Soup Nuts, he's been around for that! I kept off the main board as a lurking non donor for eight months before I finally joined. Because the BGOL Main Forum is the bomb. Everything else you can find elsewhere. Believe it or not, the right mix of porn dogs are here. Wouldn't trade it for nothing. If you were really looking for free downloads and nothing else, then you wouldn't have to post your dissent--because you can still find your downloading walmart elsewheres FOR FREE.
If your contributing threads helped maintain that BGOL sway, then you're denying the BGOL fam, not HNIC. And if this is about HNIC shaving ten off you, don't hate the player, hate the game. You're breaking off bread making someone else richer anyhow.
And if you're an e-militant, what problem have you disallowing greenbacks from one black to the next?
