This is not a pub... it's a web site... there's a HUGE difference...

One is not ALLOWED to simply go and SIT in a pub... at least not around here... Yer either a customer or you're out on your ear! So that's just one fallacy in your logic...

And no... most of the places I play do not charge a cover charge...

I didn't say anything about donations... You wanna donate, knock yourself out... Just don't expect anyone else to, and don't look so smug because you do and maybe I don't.. you don't know if I do or not...

The easiest and most effective method of treating Mudcats money woes is banner adds... one full page of them that people can go and hit to generate revenue... anything else is a stop gap, and isn't gonna be HALF as effective... But Max don't wanna put up banner adds for reasons that are his own... fine...

The idea of a paid members only site works great for porn on the net... for Mudcat, it'd be the death knell...

Don't pray to your god or gods for me, and don't do things on my behalf without asking me if I WANT you to... you're just deluding yourself...
