I agree that non-advertisers shouldn't be able to have sticky's or contest threads... but a great number of us read gfy to find out about new programs/sites. There is alot to be said for promoting fresh stuff and not the same old stale shit that most big programs produce.

No you are assuming I missed his point and your assumption is wrong. I was commenting on his example of newspapers and assimilating it with this current issue. What i said was correct also, free ads in a newspaper and in magazines are at the back, not side by side with the high paid spots...
Why does everyone keep bringing up this $3000/month up anyway? I thought we are all caught up on the fact that there are cheaper advertising methods available here?
We all on the same page that nobody is suggesting that we make this an advertiser only forum at least?
