I am no where to relying on my forum to make money. I have put much more
into my forum then I expect to even see within the next 5 years, and seeing there
are forums that are already rooted in my market, then it could be much
longer; however, I would appreciate some traffic, and for people to repsect
me, and not jump down my throat because I will not dance to their tune....

I knew for a fact when I setup the forum, it would not be for money; however,
if i had done this like 10 years ago, then maybe it would be a different story....

I did ban the member, I will not tolerate or allow others to belittle or disrespect me.
Its not like he contributed anything to the forum, he only posted links to themes
that would have benefited him if he had gotten any traffic via my forum....

did i go to far in banning him? What would you do if one of your members comes
to you, insulting you, calling your forum trash, and so on....and he expects me
to buy his themes now? He must have been on some high end pot or something....
You do not do that to potential buyers, he is like killing his own business...
