I appreciate this conversation and I hope nothing comes across as smart-ass or anything, I'm just having a hard time reconciling some of your comments with myself. To me it reads like "this site is one of the best around but not worth $1 a month (.83 if done annually.)"

And to be fair on day two when we made this deal the site was running on $5 a month godaddy servers and stock vbulletin software. :D
I think and hope at least that the vast majority would support the sight and help keep it going I am fully prepared to do my part in aiding the process whatever that may be. A LOT of people have profited from the sight not just cash wise but information as well I can only hope the community can come together and keep it going. These are our people, our community and our responsibility to help each other.a lot of people are good at talking, but it's time to act and do something proactive that is beneficial to the group as a whole. If it disappears just look in the mirror and start your complaining and pissing and moaning there before everyone takes to social media. Once again I appreciate the sight and hope it can survive.
 
Facts are:

If you charge $1 from everyone to be on ODT, membership will go down. (Doesn’t matter of its “fair” or not, it’s a fact).

If you’re prepared to see the drop, start charging. If you don’t want to see a drop in membership, look to gain more revenue from sponsors, and ramp up advertising costs.

Please stop looking at this from an emotional standpoint,my military brainwashing is trying to detonate my brain.

PS. People that are supporters are quick to say “I’ll pay, I’m not going anywhere”. ( we already knew that!!!! You’re a supporter!!)
