Warrior Forum owner Allen 'Simon' Says has reintroduced charges in an attempt to keep his balding head above water. As the owner of the world's 800th most popular website, Says reckons (Reckon says???) that charging gormless newbies a $37 fee to use the private messaging system on his clunky forum is a way to offset his crippling bandwidth, storage and porn subscription costs.

In an interview with NewbieRapist Magazine, Says says that in the new year, WorrierForum will be moving to a 'pay per view' model. Using advanced optometric predictive software, users of his forum will be charged by the number of words they actually read, which will apparently be fairer on the typical newbie, who of course has a tendency to skim over the annoying 'text' bits in an attempt to find the big red button to press that will send them a million bucks a month.

Coming up - Digital Point introduces 'Rag Head Obviation Technology' in an attempt to stop forum spam from the Indian subcontinent.
 


It's funny how so many people rip on WP and warforum. Don't you guys realize that all these posts do is prove that you, too, are a DP or Warforum member/reader?

fail.

Can we PLEASE stop stroking the cock of DP and warforum for the time being? All these 'joke' threads are nothing more than free publicity for two forums that in all honesty, have a combined net worth of $3.50.
 
Not everyone knows how to make money off of a website.

My brother was looking at buying a top 10k website (something like 400k uniques per month) and he asked about monthly income, and they said it was something along the lines of only a few thousand.............

4chan.org is another stunning example of a website not being able to turn a profit........and i'm not even gonna mention facebook :D

I would hope that if the time ever came, that Jon would know how to turn a profit here......However, I think that all the people who are worth reading posts from would be able to pay up.

4chan can't monetize because moot is an idiot. Give me a month with 4chan traffic and any WF member here could turn it profitable.
 
I actually think this faux press report was pretty funny and well done. I guess it helps that I've never been on DP(?) or the other WF, all I know about them is that they're considered losers' hangouts on WickedFire.
 
well pardon my big fat hairy bollocks for trying to give you all a free laugh.


How about you all come suck my nads, you humorless little pack of wankers?


Come to think of it, some variation in your humor would be nice... Maybe next week you can waste some more of your own time making fun of another online community/thing that is obviously retarded. :bigear:

Thnx
