I charged for the membership.
Oh sure you will charge.

I presume you also charge for your religious claptrap.

Making money out of Jesus. Jesus spells big MONEY - to you. It is not so with true Christians.

Man, Jesus sure will love you.

I had a website for a couple of years, in the late 90's. I charged a small annual amount to be a member. The majority of the people were involved in fantasy sports & I hosted the leagues, helped them with the drafts, set up automated stat services. There was a religious section, independent of the sport's stuff.

By charging a small fee, the members were treated like Kings, were allowed to get there own portion of the website to post stuff, etc. The small fees gets rid of the clowns & kept the moderation down.

The website generated a small amount of revenue for me & too time consuming. I sold the site to this dude & made some more jack. It was a sign of the times thing of the 90's. The stock market did me right too, I sold all that back then & pretty much can retire in my 30's now.

Julie,

BTW, I don't have a computer. I am using my yogic power that transcends time and space. I hope you are getting my message loud and clear.

Since you like music, Julie, I hope you like one that I heard the other day in my yogic class:

"Ground Control to Julie Ma'am,
Ground Control to Julie Ma'am,
Take your protein pills and put your helmet on..............

From here
I see someone sitting in a tin can
Far above the world,
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do
as he does his job in a tin can"
