I know its mostly 411 shit and a way of getting money to run the site, but what the fuck? I know I've seen you guys say stuff like at least its skiing related but most the shit I've seen definitely isnt...Rent luxury handbags, Cash4Gold (maybe this ones a joke?), dating websites, World of Warcraft trials? I think it's getting a little out of hand.

I know a solution!   You should take the volunteer marketing job available and contact every snow related business you can think of and get them to spend some advertising dollars here

The really cool part about this volunteer job is, the more money you bring in after all the costs are covered including a 20% reserve. the more you will make. You can make millions!

Deal?

Or how about lets make this a pay site!  Yes that's the answer!

Be part of the solution.

I don't think its an absolutely horrible idea (keeping true NSers here while the trolls and others won't bother), but I think at this point, it isn't even considerable.

I think you would lose a lot of members if you made it pay.  Its not about being a "true member" or not, its about some kids dont even have a credit card, there inder 18.  I myself would not pay to be on here, I have other shit I need to pay that would come first.  I would just move over to another ski site, thats all.  Paying is the wrong answer.

The ones on the top of the screen that pop out all big when you mouse over them annoy the piss outta me. As for the content of the ads, who the fuck cares? NS has gotta make money and it's not like I spend any of my time looking at the ads -- unless of course they pop out when I accidentally move my mouse over them and block shit I want to click on. Whatever, I don't see any of them when I'm on my laptop (AdBlock and NoScript all motherfucking day), and I can deal when I occasionally check NS at school.
