Making the forums Private - Fear that EBAY sees what we post

**aspkin** · 09-30-2007, 02:12 AM

Before I take this step and make 90% of the forums private. I want to see how you guys feel about it.

Reasons to make the forum private:
- New information to circumvent eBay and other networks will not be public.
- Membership fees will help pay for server costs.
- No unnecessary advertising.
- A more personal and safe environment.
- Added features

All current members of course will not be forced to pay any member fees. This only pertains to new members (sign up now before the forums go private).

Again the top two reasons to make the forums private is of course to keep any new information private, and to help pay for server costs.

What do you guys think?

my only problem is the fees. i came to find this forum when i was down and outed from ebay.i was broke man!! no way would i have been able to pay. i was happy to see someone giving the info out for free. i had also already bought that ezbook which was pushing the flyswatter program.

hey, if you start charging let us current members stay for free dude!!!!!!!

**aspkin** · 09-30-2007, 02:34 AM

Of course. As mentioned in the first post.

spike1 · 09-30-2007, 02:35 AM

plus:

how can you guarantee that no ebay employee has paid the fee and in the forum???? will you financially/legally guarantee this?????? if i get shut down because of something i said on your site, will you reimberse me. f*** i do not remember how to spell re-emberse. i'm drunk butches!!!!!!

OOOOOPS!!!

SORRY ASPKIN.

BUT...

I'M DRUNK BIATCHES

**aspkin** · 09-30-2007, 02:40 AM

Drunk, how nice.

Of course I can't guarantee eBay will not be watching, I'm sure they are already. It's just the information as a whole won't be public, and less likely to be leaked out to eBay.

spike1 · 09-30-2007, 02:50 AM

another marvel "what if"

aspikn, let's say you start charging. turning a financial profit from this forum. or even a member's area only forum. ebay get's in there and buys an ebay account from an "authorized ebay account seller" (no offense C just being real for aspkin's sake) ebay does a full investigation and sues them. in turn they can (i think, talk to a lawyer) sue you. you made a profit from it, right? when you make money from it it turns into a different kind of liability.

i hope i am wrong but please talk to a lawyer first.

Okay I think someone deleted my post or it disappeared in cyber space..

But yeah that was the same thing I was thinking Spike for the most part...

and I'm drunk too and just left the bar.. My girl best friend gives me dirty looks ..Maybe she is just mad because she hasn't rode in the Mon'te carlo

spike1 · 09-30-2007, 02:55 AM

i hate dui's and only drink at home. that way anytime is a good time to drink!!

i wondered what happened to your post

Chris Hanson · 09-30-2007, 02:58 AM

Shyt yeah, i caught a DUI a month ago but thanks to the internet I think I can beat it. If not oh well wont hurt me...... Just some cash I have to fork out

spike1 · 09-30-2007, 02:59 AM

i don't F*** around with it. a dui and they can search your car and give you a blood test. F*** that!!!

Chris Hanson · 09-30-2007, 03:04 AM

Well Spike you wrong. You can always refuse if your not under arrest.. But I'm not about to talk about my case on the net if you know what I mean. Hope you can respect that...hehehehehe
I got to keep the juicy details between me and my lawyer...

But afterwards i will let the world know the truth

spike1 · 09-30-2007, 03:06 AM

i'm just saying it's not worth driving drunk in this day and age. bars and night clubs always (for me at least) lead to dui and fights. either way the police is involved. i would rather drink at home with people i know around me. if we get into it no big deal, crash on the couch and i'll see you tomorrow (around noon. true playas don't get out of bed till noon anyway)

Chris Hanson · 09-30-2007, 03:07 AM

Very Very true. I heard that from so many people since i caught this Dui...

Thats what I always do for the most part

Hold on except for the fights..hehehe

Because I'm 6'3 220 Lb... So usually people dont step to me unless they need help

**aspkin** · 09-30-2007, 03:10 AM

As I answered with my last post you drunken *******s, I can't guarantee eBay will not be watching what you're posting and using it against you. It's a risk we all take; actually I don't see a risk at all; As long as you don't disclose your private information. EBay has nothing on you. I take the biggest risk out of everyone. Maybe making the forums private will lower that risk, maybe not. But it will help with server cost.

Chris Hanson · 09-30-2007, 03:13 AM

Hummm.. Never know.. but what I got to tell may set this forum on fire and make hell feel like winter

Chris Hanson · 09-30-2007, 03:14 AM

Aspkin you should make a Saturday night special drunken chill spot forum for us drunken *******s

**aspkin** · 09-30-2007, 03:15 AM

Yeah I was thinking about a forum for off-topic posters like you guys.
