PSR to start charging 'user fee' at midnight!

[crs]

I was going to AIR MAIL my cheque, but PSR rejected that notion outright coz of the chemtrails eminating out of the Fedex jet!

[slowhand]

OK, I was wrong on this one. I wake up this morning to a "this forum is in maintenance mode" message on PSR with this cheery note in a box below:
"Friday Morning on PSR's live-streaming with Mike Easton. For current updates, listen to our Live-Streaming radio station. Click on Speaker top left corner or the right speaker for Mobile, iPhone, BB"

I just love the logic of this whole thing. The Internet radio station is what costs the money, at least in comparison to the costs of the discussion forum, so the choice is made to charge for the discussion forum and leave the Internet radio station free.

So we're being asked to fund Michael's radio hobby? And to pay for re-posts of Right-wing blather from Newswithviews.com and that windbag Alex Tsumsuisuksisis? And if you dare question anything, you're given the boot? Priceless.

I predict.....
More new members at RadioWest.ca.


I see PSR is now back on the air......
Kind of sounds like a skit off of SCTV.

[freqfreak2]

Yes, PSR is back ... and the operator is back to banning people again.

And if you're like me -- and need a daily fix of merriment, just Google "Free Anonymous proxy Server" and you're past the Berlin wall in no time.

That didn't take long for him to cave did it? Realistically though, who's going to pay to use a message board when ANYONE can start one for free? Especially one that doesn't seem to offer anything exclusive or of any real importance to the industry.

............and in my case booted and threatened with a call from a lawyer for quoting from an email from the owner of a site.

I guess I was right after all (about the boy who cried wolf) though perhaps off by a few hours. With a new twist to the old story, where the little boy dresses up as a wolf for a few hours, to fulfill his prophecy.

For those who haven't read the post, my interpretation of it is: "At PSR, we may be old, stubborn and hard of hearing. But we aren't deaf to the feelings of our viewers!"

The sad thing is a couple saps probably paid the fee because of that BS threat and now he's scammed maybe $100 off people for no reason. The way that board is run is completely unethical. At least a dozen of the usernames posting stuff on his board have to be all him talking to himself.

I have generated over a thousand dollars in advertising in one month with http://www.oliverdailynews.com

Now that is out of the bag I have to say thanks to both gord lansdell and radiofan for cross promotions for bcradiohistory.com which remains ad free.

For the record most of the money I have received goes to an editor/salesperson/janitor who does most of the work
on my newsblog and I get to turn on the lights at the office in the morning.

Not only do you have to prove there is a lot of interest in your site - it has be addictive and compelling. In my case - the town has never had competent and colourful daily news and info content - ever. In a local context my blog has really been successful using facebook and other tools to drive an audience there.

I finally got my arse toasted for insisting that Glen Beck was a stone-cold nut-bar. That I also wasn't right with Jesuz might have been a contributing factor, as well.

My Pro Aviator buddy out of the 'Peg got his plug yanked for abusing the chem-trail crowd. So, it seems we're all in pretty good company.

And now, they want money for that drivel....? It is to gasp.
