Every site in this industry keeps their margins private for a number of obvious and not-so-obvious reasons. We are no different in that regard - it would hurt our business (i.e. profitability) significantly to disclose that information.
That said, I've got a pretty good idea of the margins that other sites are taking and the ones that are comparably sized to us tend to have lower user payouts.
Ah, and there in lies the point. Why would it hurt business?
Is it because if the proverbial "plow mules" found out they were being led around with the proverbial "carrot and stick" they would all leave? Destroying profit margins? Exposing the Pyramid Scheme for what it is?
I will concede the issue though. I can see why, and understand the need to keep such information withheld. So I'll leave off that question, for now, I apologize if it offended you.
Would you be willing to discuss the profit margins and percentages of these mentioned other sites?
We wont be disclosing our margins, no matter how much you demand it.
I don't think I "demanded" anything.
Speculate. Theorize. Comment upon. Raise suspicion's. And above all, question. Yes, I did those. I question anything. I'm by nature a skeptical individual.
If you have a problem with this standard industry practice, well, you know where the door is.
A door? Where? Does it have a good view? Does Pizza hut deliver within it's area? Oh I see, pardon me, you were making a generalized phrase towards me leaving if I didn't find things acceptable.
Why would I leave? I have no reason to leave FushionCash. I, like many other billions of people on Earth, like money. Why would I leave? I find money acceptable.
Am I being told to shut up or get off Fusion Cash? Is that a threat? I wouldn't think that's very nice. I was merely asking questions. Might I say, awfully defensive for just questions. If you have nothing to hide, then don't act so aggresively.
You advertise free speech for the forums. Wouldn't it go hand in hand with the saying "practice what you preach"?
3. Do not paste links to other sites -- This means no referral links whatsoever - even in private messages
Hmm.
It's nice to know there are rules about posting links.
Oh wait, your an Administrator. So you know that already. My mistake. I apologize.
What if I break this rule? You will be banned for a minimum of 7 days.
Far be it of me to think that those in positions of power always abuse those same rights and privledges.
But I digress, I apologize if I've made any such assumption. You are after all a Forum Administrator. Fair, Objective, and never taking a side. I've been mistaken on many things before. Again, I apologize.
Whereas it estimates some 36,000 results for 'forum *bleep*'.
Really? That's quite a bit.
rofl....i guess clinton and his comrades use that internet slang on an uber secret forum that google can't touch.
Although.
Correct me if I'm wrong. That would only cover open or public forums?
Correct?
I'm sure there are quite a few sites on the intuhnet that are members only. Requiring a signup to even have access to forums, including being able to even view posts? So that would mean Google wouldn't have acess to the hundreds, if not thousands, of private forum boards? Hmm. I've been wrong before.
But let me straighten this out again and explain myself. I apologize again for any misunderstanding.
When I said
everyone on the 10 or so other forums I post on
I merely meant the word "everyone" in a generalized way. I.E. The use of "we" amoung nobles and monarchy as a generalization. The royal "We", used as a denotation for all nobles.
The number use of "10 or so" was used as a generalized term as well. Example: Several fish. The use of "several" doesn't really denote seven fish. But a more broader number.
Again I apologize, you probably already know this, I was merely explaining myself.
teamfdn, my "comrades" and I, find you very amusing.
Please to continue to be keeping the amuesment up. Your really a funny guy.
