    Yeah, the screwballs on here -me included- can be quite a handful! I hate to admit it, but he does a great job! Where would we all be without MFP?

    hahahaha! I love your post :) I get really annoyed when people complain about the management of free websites that they are not forced to use. People work damn hard on these things and you can't please everybody!

    well aint that much hard work. just saying

    it's people like you.....
    sigh...

    have you done it?
    Do you know firsthand exactly what Mike does all day? (not saying I do, but I have an idea, and I WOULD call it work).
    JUST SAYIN:grumble:


    KUDOS TO MIKE for dealing with the bull (repeat offender myself, I just hate stupid people).
    Thanks for all your HARD WORK.


    ...and this is why you're my girl...Thank you Mike many of us owe u our lives. I didn't have the tools or the knowledge to be sucessful until now and I learn new things all of the time. Your work does not go un-noticed. Thank you from the bottom of my heart (and my toes that I can now see when I am standing up-LOL)!!

    Well, when you put it that way...Mike, I'm sorry for calling you a d**k sucking a$$hat. But in my defense, if everyone was like me, there wouldn't be any need to ban.

    Are you a programmer? I'm not, but my husband is and while he loves his job, I sure as hell can't understand how it all works and have much respect for the endless hours they put into trying to figure out even the smallest bugs to keep their site running smoothly. (I'm assuming Mike is a programmer, if not then surely a manager of programmers?)

    I also want to throw in my thanks to Mike. Buddy, you've changed my life forever because of this website. The friends I've made on here have helped me stopped my bulimia in its tracks - since July!!!

    The fact that we make you pull your hair out some days and still have not banned us is a testament to your patience and character! Oh, BTW, thanks for not banning our Shan (Sweetly_n_INnocent)!!! She's awesome and because of her some of us aren't falling off the cliff.

    Anyway, just want to say THANK YOU MIKE!! You rock, baby!

    Then go make a competitive site and when you have to police hundreds of thousands of users on its forums with three staff members, tell us how much work it is.

    And don't let the login screen hit you on the rear on the way out.

    as much as i'd love to. why would i want to do that?
    if theres something already there why make a competitive site.
    i mostly target the areas where theres not anything there and would actually be useful

    well aint that much hard work. just saying

    I will say, I am the only tech guy for a site that gets 5+million hits a year... it's a lot more work then you imagine. You say you do all this work, please provide links or sources. Here is mine:

    I do d2football.com, d2messageboard.com, and other various sports sites as well as helping with voting, players of the week, corespondence for other sites including ESPN. I used to write for several newspapers, and I still do sideline photography at the games. It's not my full time job either, so on top of working 40-50 hours a week I put another 20-35 into a website at night. People on the site are always like hey how come the site doesn't do this, or this.... or how come not so much HD content.... People want everything to be perfect amazing, everything their hearts desire, all while staying free.

    This site uses google ads so I have an idea the revenue it's brining it. It'd be less then a lot of you think to be honest.

    Mike I will say, I may not agree 100% on some things, I DO understand what you are dealing with and I think for a free site this site is A M A Z I N G. We provide ours 100% free to people as well and it's amazing the complaining people will do over a free product. We get people all the time who wants to know why we don't stream every college d2 football game in HD or why we don't offer this. We tried a paid type service when it first came around and it didn't work. People want everything but want it to be free as well.

    Good job on keeping the site going. It's stable, for the most part fast. Great information, and I'd 98% of the people are great and amazing. Kudos!

    Not to sound like a kissass, but I would totally like to give a shoutout to Mike.

    Not only did he put together this awesome site, but Running this site can't be easy. Lets face it: With all the drama, whiners, blatant rule violators (me and most of my friends list...) and the over the top judgmental people, this has got to be rough. Thats not even counting the self-promoters, advertisers, fake accounts, and people posting "questionable" health information.

    Like I said in another topic - Mike is a nicer guy than me. I would be dropping the ban hammer all over this place.

    You there... yea you, talking about a starvation diet. *BAN*
    You - Religous nutjob - *BAN*
    You there - Dirty Perv - *BAN*

    See the pattern here?

    ;)

    Just know Mike, with all the b*tching, we still appreciate the hard work you and the rest of the team does. This site has been an AMAZING catalyst for change in MY life, and I know tons of other peoples as well too.

    So, Thank you.

    Really? You think keeping a bunch of whining, complaining, sniffling, ingrates who are offended by the change of wind is not hard, not to mention keep us all happy? Not to mention he offers it to us for FREE. And, honey, ain't is not a word.

    Ain't is totally a word if you're a super awesome programmer who can do TONS of work like it's no big deal.

    Geez, what is it with teenyboppers today??? First last night with that little pipsqueek "Rich" and now you. You're 18 years old and need to learn what respect is all about, just like Rich did.

    In that one little comment and with your attitude in follow-up replies, all you have done is make yourself look juvenile and pompus. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that you're only 18 and you don't know better, but someone else said it perfectly and what your mother should've taught you a long time ago. If you don't have something nice to say, don't say it at all. Sounds like you and mom need to get together on etiquette rules.

    Kids nowadays have no class or respect for others. Our future generation. YIKES!!
