Why was RaptorSource.com formed?

[Flynbyu]

Well... I was wondering where everybody went and know I know.... All I can say is I'm very disapointed.  Raptor Forum was and is a great site.  That had nothing to do with who owned it.  What made it a great site was the people who posted on it.  There is only one real reason to start your own site... $$$$$$$.  I think you guys saw an opportunity and took it.  So let's not pretend that you did it for some great noble reason.  You did it because you saw how much money was being made from the banners and the VIP section and said to your self "DAMN!... ... I can do that!"

Hell... You copied it exactly... except for the color... and by the way, this black is much harder to read.  The blue and white is easy on the eyes. I know your trying to look cool and all but the black is not the way.  If it was, this is the color Windows would come in... think about it.

I know this is not going to make me a popular guy here but this need to be said.  Trust me...lot's of you guys are thinking the same thing.

The problem is now we have our people spread over 5 sites.  What you've done is make it harder to get info... all so you could make money.

GREAT JOB! I hope your proud of what you've created.  You've taken someone else idea to make money and trying to pass it off as doing it for "the greater good".  Let's just be honest.... that would be a good place to start!

Birdog, There is no money here.  If you were to calculate the amount of hours Krandall, Flynbyu, and Socal have spent on this site the versus the 14 vip memberships @ 5 dollars a piece(70 dollars total), it's hardly worth it.

plus, it's already spent on liquor and porn   

Thanks for the reminder!!!!


Erich, the movie store called and said that "48 hour Bukake marathon" video is over due!!

 

Brian has it now. 

That was my best work, boy was I tired after shooting that.

You call that shooting?

By the time it gets to it's intended target, it is more of a mist. Especially when you're up as high as a giraffe's ass.

If places like this and MR piss you off so bad why are you on 3 that I know of? If your at such a loss, you might need more help than people on ANY forum can give you. And exactly who are you to tell these guy's, or anybody, that they don't have the right to start their own site? Like it has been said,alot of forum boards look just the same.

i find it interesting that people assume that in AMERICA every thing is done for money. Shit I got married for love it sure was not for money!!! I ride for fun and pleasure and it costs me lots of money. Not all things are born out of greed. As for this site that is the right of the site owners to form and start it. It is AMERICA and we have those rights. And as for all the drama it is only a websight not life and death. Will it survive ? I think yes a well run site will do fine . These sites are world wide and there are plenty of readers to keep all busy. Best of luck to you guys and if a person does not like what you have done let them go some where else rather than create problems for you. FR.

Thanks. I did not know that.  I'll give it a shot.   ... ... However... I'll still be spending most of my time on Raptor Forum 'cause that's where it all started.  What ever happend to loyalty?

Birdog, I've got respect for you - it takes balls to join another Web site and make such a statement as you did from the start. But you do realize Raptorforum.com did not have to be sold, right?

I'm not trying to defend or convict the former owner(s?) of Raptorforum. But perhaps the loyalty question is best asked of them.

Damn... I did not expect that kind of heat....  I was expecting a "screw you" or two but DAMN. 

You know what... You are right... I don't know what went on behind the scenes.... but here is what I do know.

I know you can make money of a web site.  I owned one for years (FamilyShedsAndOutdoor.com) and I made good money off it for a while.  I shut it down to focus on my other business but it was rocking for a while.  I also know it takes a lot of time and a lot of work.  You have to be a hellofa guy to get it done with no profit in mind.

I am not against Capitalism.  I own my own small business.  I am about as big of a fan as Capitalism as you’ll find.  I just like to keep it honest.  If you come out and say “Hey… we thought of a way that we can make some money and at the same time give you guys a better product” then I’m all for it.  It just bothers me when people try to come across as if they are doing something for the greater good when there are self serving reasons that are truly motivating them.

That being said… I have no real reasons for not believing these guys.  I will now take them at there word.  No one likes to be called a liar especially by someone that does not have all the facts… which I do not. 

Segkast is right; I do miss you guys on the other site.  I never posted much but I read a lot of what you guys wrote.  You kept me entertained when I was supposed to be getting some work done.

Anyway…. I’m done…  It’s 9:30 and I’m still at the office.  Good luck guys.

It's all good BD, we're glad you're here    And you probably cleared the air for others with questions too.
