Someone is paying real money to keep the site up on a server at a data-center somewhere. They charge a significant monthly fee to keep the site running. Money talks and the BS walks. Bet this site has not made a dime profit in years. It is just a personal chat room for a few old bald men arguing over a comb.

I'm sure it doesn't make much money, if any. However I think they have the "economy" server package which isn't that much. Maybe $300-$400 for the year at the most. That's why they don't allow any pictures ( limited memory use).
The owners have seemingly lost interest in anything that goes on here ( or doesn't).
Maybe they should try selling it for a few bucks ( literally) and get out from under?
Charlie would buy it!   ;D

Open the second title in this thread!!

Its still not as smooth as QRZ and others but after a few tries youll be an expert.

Im still waiting for an answer to this:

After 4 pages all I can say is YAWN.

Carl,
Don't ask me cause Lois frowns on me purchasing anything while I'm still alive. She doesn't want to have to pick up the payments after I'm gone. (Now, frankly, I think that's really mean, but whatcha gonna do, right?) It's the only way a feller can leave a trophy bride!  :'( ::) ;D

While we're on the subject of "poor management", it seems to me that our two or three trolls have been suspiciously quiet. Great Scott!! You don't think that "vacations" have been "granted"? ... nah! Never happen!  ::) ::)

Charlie,
I think you should snatch your balls from Lois's purse and buy Eham (it shouldn't be all that expensive). then hire STONEY to fix it.
It's gotten so bad here,even the trolls have bailed out!

EU: "It's gotten so bad here, even the trolls have bailed out!"
Excuses, excuses, that's all I get!  ;D
I like to think I just may have hit the nail on the head with my 'vacation' suggestion. One can only hope!! LOL

Your 'balls' statement reminded me of a tradition in my tool & die apprenticeship at Talon, Inc. involving the application of Prussian Blue paint(?) to a newlywed's body. Needless to say, I cannot speak of it on this forum. (Woo-haw!)

Charlie
On second thought: The admin can delete any of this if necessary.  ;D

For sure for the one with the CB call once he was identified as being banned in the past using his real call. Good riddance.

Another got a short ban for vulgar language but not long enough IMO. He is the one permanently banned from QRZ unlike myself as another troll claimed who enjoys posting lies about others.

Carl, is there a way to find who is banned from Eham.net?
And how do you know about QRZ's banned list?
Is that something we can periodically check out?

Don’t disagree with Carl and you won’t be banned.

You were recently given a short ban on here for having a garbage mouth and a permanent one on QRZ for being completely out of control. Dont try to blame me for that. Grow up and use forums as they should be.

It may be a good idea to be sober and/or not on meds that wind you up.

Write down the calls or names of the most obnoxious and then keep tabs just by being active and also try the almost useless Search feature on here.

On QRZ I had a few moderators inform me plus their Search feature works well.
