ITS NOT A MOAN OR POP!

[BoroRedKen]

This thread OTR sums up my issue about running ads on here.

Ads do cock up mobile functionality on these sites.

Peoples patience wears thin then ad blocks are used thus negating running ads.

Rob would only know if ad blocks are being used when the revenue drops.

If Rob must monetise Flyme for an income then go subscription based.

Easier. 1 payment per year. No ball ache of chasing ad companies up.

2k members 20 quid a year.

They would pay that rather than ads ruining usability.

[BoroRedKen]

I look at RR like this.

  


Seriously though.

I did the groundwork. Bought a plot of internet land and named it.

Posters built it and continue to do so.

If ALL of us cant have a piece of the money pie then none of us will have any, me included.

RR was only ever intended as a place for the lads that were culled on the night of the long knives 2 on COB.

Mainly Lids actually!

We have all made and continued to make RR grow.

[BoroRedKen]

And on a personal note.

You lads on here will never know nor do i want you to ever have to know the pain i have felt recently, the appreciation respect and esteem i hold each and every one of you in for helping me this last year.

I say im a broken man with nothing but anger and hate.

I lie.

I have everything i need.
Because i am surrounded by people that reach out their hand when i put my hand out there.

I dont give 2 fucks this is read by everyone and his wife. I dont give 2 fucks if certain people revel about my situation and laugh at me.

The people i need are right here.

Westy's had a proper fanny fit on that thread with the s(m)ells-a-lot of snidey old spice poster. What a daft tart

"Thanks for this. I will send this across to the advertising agency - I can see there looks like an error in the set up." - Yeah righto 

'That's not an error it's an outright malicious ad vector'

"Are you accusing me?
I have not been online on the site today. Been busy with other things. The advertising agency have been informed this evening - the first I have seen of this.
It will be fixed." 

'No I'm telling you that those ads above aren't badly set up adverts, they're outright malicious ads. An error in setup shouldn't start serving fake ads that try steal users details which is what those fake VM ads are above'   

"You should have said that in the first place." 

'Just a small thought: most key contributors to this platform would happily pay £2 per month as a minimum. How would that play out for removing the reliance on 3rd party advertisers?' 

"£2 a month? Are you being serious?"

Comedy gold . . .

   



Won't get much sharp sand with that Bobo, trowells are not cheap either, rental of Acro's- the list is endless. Best get some of your designer attire on eBay Lad


Red Fred the proletariat,

Have these on me

I might be wrong (no doubt someone will tell me) but to me thats Rob not giving a fuck about his members just the money they generate for him.

I thought he was all about socialism and #BeKind......

[BoroRedKen]

Opera and Safari have built in ad blocks. DDG is super locked from ads.

You are all telling Rob that you are using ad block software/browsers.

I noticed yesterday 4 "new" members.

So who is "leaving" Fmttm?

Like it or not Rob HAS to keep the membership at least at 2k to keep the ads.

This guy does not give a fuck about your opinions or the fact you Mooners make Fmttm.
He is just concerned about feathering his own nest and pocket.

But for some reasons you Mooners allow Rob and Muscles stomp all over you when it comes to hurting his earning potential.
That not sour grapes Mooners. Its fact.

RR values its membership. RR regulary tells its members its appreciative of its members inputs and time spent on here.
RR does not make a penny off its members time and effort.

And im the "unhinged racist bigot".

Aye.

But i dont use people to make me money. I treat them as people. Not cash cows.

[BoroRedKen]

Now its a pop!

Rob has no official employment.

Rob could not claim dole. He proves he does not have the time to activley seek employment.

He must make decent monèy from Fmttm.
Enough to make him ineligible for UC.

World Cup in SA. Every Boro game home and away including cup games and friendlies.

He even has money to maintain and run a vehicle.

Where does the money come from then?

You know Mooners? When you go on about the Gov. The COL crisis. Fuel prices and costs. Young people cant afford to get on the housing ladder. Etc etc.

Yet there is the owner of Fmttm.
Follows the Boro. Owns his own house. Runs a car. Always going somewhere or is too busy doing other things to run his site properly.

How is this all possible with no fixed income?

You all think Mooners that Rob is this bastion of truth, compassion and virtue.

Listen to him over the ads.

You fuck that up and you are dust in the wind lads.

Love me or loathe me. Not 1 of you can deny the facts. You fund all this for him.
And only a few of you get the protection.
The rest of you are just £ signs to Rob.

[BoroRedKen]

Nichols and MBC can sue me for this.

There is more to Rob just "voluntering" for MBC.

Whilst Preston was mayor and the council pred Tory/independent run Rob stayed in background and let his members do his bidding for him with slaggings off and slurs and name calling.

Now it seems to be calmed down.
Constant defence of anything MBC are doing now (except the Capt Cook debacle).

My conspiracy theory?

If Boro get promoted to the PL i will state now Nichols will suddenly find employment with a labour run MBC.

And i will even say what i believe the job will be.
Press Officer for MBC.

Its a deal with the devil.
A predomintly labour supporting forum. Where ANY critiscism of a labour run MBC is quickly quashed.

Rememeber Lads. Rob is fine doing press conferences and unfettered access to MFC.

Whilst we are in the champo.

He knows all too well that gravy train derails if we are promoted to the PL.

Where will Rob get his press accredation from i wonder?......

[teamboro]

Things don't add up With    1 the site I use for Williams Fans is run with adds but the lad who runs it use to work now retired very passionate Williams Fans every so often pays himself to goto a race,buys merchandise himself doesn't do politics, doesn't complain when people use add blockers doesn't proclaim he's the voice of the Fans and yes we are proud he got picked by Williams as a top fan because we know he's a Williams fan and the site is just run like this site ablite with adds so something doesn't add up with Robs no income is he a rent boy 🤷🤷🤷 someone must be paying him a wage

[BoroRedKen]

Rent boy?

I heard he came back with £10.50p.

When asked who gave him the 50p he replied "They all did"........

What you say about the F1 site you use sounds a lot like my ethos TB.

Some people on here navigate my personal privacy "codes" and i open my door to find i dont know a few tinnies a card with a couple of quid in it with the premise of have a laugh you deserve it!

That to me shows real thought. Im happy if you lads are happy with RR.

'Just a small thought: most key contributors to this platform would happily pay £2 per month as a minimum. How would that play out for removing the reliance on 3rd party advertisers?'

"£2 a month? Are you being serious?"

"Too much?"
😄



Not sure if the "too much" question was serious or taking the piss.
I do wonder how much he would actually ask for to compensate the loss of ad income. No way would 2000 people subscribe. Especially as most of them are probably madey-up people.
20-30 people tops would pay? Probably need a couple of grand from each to keep him in the jet-set lifestyle he has grown accustomed to.

[BoroRedKen]

You are understanding the ad bit more Minty.

The 2k membership is needed that why its a constant over there. 2k is needed also to prove "reach" online.

Seriously. Fmttm membership NEVER dips below 2k.

1 out 1 in is how it works.

Give me a few hours and RR could "suddenly" have 2k of members............

[BoroRedKen]

Billy Bignads. Email bbignads at gmail.com

Shirley Valentine. Email Shirlval at hotmail.co.uk..

See where im going??.....

 

[BoroRedKen]

It never means 2k ACTUALLY post anything......

[BoroRedKen]

20/30 at best OTR?

[BoroRedKen]

You watch "new" members start posting OTR now........

[BoroRedKen]

Been in the game 3 years and i have already forgot more than Rob knows after 20+ years......

[BoroRedKen]

And whether people like it or not Fmttm or even COB had not achieved what RR has in just over 3 years.

Nowhere near.

[BoroRedKen]

F**k me it only took the owner 2 year to get nicked for upsetting some feeble soul......

[BoroRedKen]

"The model would not work for me. There are many reasons why not."

But you constantly cry Rob about not having the time etc.

But running ads is a pain free lazy experience eh?

Stop fucking waffling.

Tell your members the truth.

There are many reasons why not

You ARE MAKING MONEY FROM THEM LADS.

Do they not have the "right" to know why you persist with a failing ad run based forum?

Stop leaving half assed excuses.

Be Honest with them.

Your lifestyle proves you make a manageable amount of cash from running ads.

As much as i may dislike a lot of your members Rob i dont think they deserve your constant hand wringing about making money from them.

JUST TELL THEM THE TRUTH HALF A MAN.

[BoroRedKen]

20 QUID A YEAR PER SUBSCRIBER FOR NO ADVERTS.

PAYPAL ACCOUNT FOR MONIES TO BE PAID.

DONT PAY DONT PLAY.

SIMPLE AS THAT BOBBY BOY.

[BoroRedKen]

BUT THAT WOULD INVOLVE THINGS LIKE THE TAXMAN (AND I DONT MEAN BIG BRI!) STICKING HIS BEAK IN WOULD IT NOT UNKY ROB?

JUST BE HONEST. STOP TREATING YOUR CASH COWS AS JUST THAT.

[BoroRedKen]

Lets be both honest Rob.

We both know what these forums cost.

We both know the money to be earned from running ads.

The latter far outweighs the former.

You know that Rob.

But its nice to see capitalism is alive and well inside you Rob.
