Yes, because he should foot the bill for everything here. That comment is an insult to everyone that invests their time & hard work into this club. It says that “a certain admin” is more or less a thief, and the other admin & mods are equally guilty because their inaction is tantamount to implicit approval of his actions. Furthermore, if I were “the other admin” I’d be very angry at the obvious lack of respect.
AFAIK you are not a supporting member of the club and therefore have no 1st hand experience regarding the Basement. What are these "strict boundaries" you speak of? No porn? Google Images covers that pretty good. The biggest issue is the language filter; we haven’t been able to turn it off only there yet. Justin is our ‘tech guy’ and could probably figure it out in due time, but the problem is his time has gotten kind of tight recently. We could probably pay someone to do some coding, but wait, we don’t have enough cash because we still have people who expect everything for free.
Dave (and all), the Basement is really the Power Members’ ‘Lounge’, a forum where the members who have decided to help the club exist via financial donation can post up, discuss club stuff, and in general have much more freedom in what they can post in comparison to the rest of the forum. Is it without boundaries? No. Is it looser then the rest of the forum? Absolutely.
You get rights to the Basement as a way to say ‘thanks’ for supporting the club financially. Becoming a supporting member of NJFBOA via the Power Member program costs less then a tank of gas. Maybe give it a whirl….
