Im just chiming in cause Im bored. I understand that a site is costly, and you need to at least break even. I would say that you even need to make some money because its a PITA. Also for trips like Scott takes(main reason I joined the pub).

But to be so greedy that you wont allow a link to another site, its BS. I could see if you linked to another site sponser, but not a link to another thread.

Funny thing is JL deleted slammins posts. Ive put DBS on the same list as D*, CANCELLED.

Ill throw all my support into visiting this site because Scott gets great E* info.
 
I wish we did earn a profit. When all is said and done I am still paying out of pocket for a large portion of SatelliteGuys.

Especially when you consider the fact they we go out to all of these shows to "Bring you guys there" while the other guys sit on their butts and if they are not there they pretend it didn't happen.

The cost to do these things is large, our costs for the SBE Pioneers Event was close to $6,000, our Team Summit meeting with Charlie cost me $1,400 for the room and catering. Of course none of these costs included airfare, hotel, taxis etc. ALL OF THIS CAME OUT OF MY OWN POCKET to bring the "SATELLITE COMMUNITY" (This includes the dipshits at the other site) to these events which they would never know about or never would be allowed to attend.

Its funny that they complaign we are a commercial site, yet they are SPONSORED by DirecTV (who appears to be there ONLY real sponsor).

Things that make you go hmm. :)
 
I think it is safe to say that Scott isn't make a huge amount of money off this place. He does it because this is what he enjoys, plain and simple. If he wanted to turn it in to a money making machine, I'm sure he could do it, but there would be some major changes around here that I'm pretty sure most of us would not like.
 
So, once again, it would benefit us if more people were supporting members, but since this message is in the pub, I am talking to the choir... ;)

BINGO we have a winner.

This is my hobby, its not a job for me. Sure it costs me money but its my only real hobby, I don't drink, smoke, gamble, go bowling or play darts. So I guess if I did those things I would spending about the same amount of money. :)

I just enjoy helping others learn more about this amazing and constantly changing technology.
 
Hahah the idiot removed all the posts in the thread that did not agree with him and then closed the thread.

Thanks James, you are the biggest reason why SatelliteGuys grows like it does. Remind me to send you another check next week. :D (Just kidding)
 
BTW let me use this pulpit to make an announcement, that I am going to spend MORE MONEY.

I am proud to announce that we will be at the SBE West Show in Reno, NV in October!

There is going to be some HUGE NEWS regarding the SBE within the next week. YOU ARE GOING TO WANT TO BE THERE!

SatelliteGuys.US is PROUD to support the Satellite Community and we are also proud to support the SBE Show.

For more details on the SBE show please visit http://www.sbeshow.com
 
That I dont know. I know Marty the show promoter is about the make a very big announcement and I don't know what it is... ;)
 
Thanks for your support. :)

I have always said that I only want people to support the site if the site has saved them money or they learned something from the site.

We take pride in trying to help our members do both every day.

Again thanks for your support and welcome to the "Pub" :)
