    you do realise what is going on here right??? since he wont be an admin for so long , he wants to get out with a BIIG popular site , he is taking advantage of his position , he wouldnt do any of this ---- if he was to stay the owner for good , the site doesnt feel like the same way it did before , its like you have ben betraied...

    Nope, I never did send out another one. Not sure what you are looking it in your email.

    That is really gay. I turned off receiving emails from admins, and I still get this. Nobody cares about ShoutGFX, and I think if you want to keep people coming back, you ought to quit selling us out. I think you have some great ideas, but I think that maybe you should keep the advertising on the site, and not in emails

    Actually alot cares for ShoutGFX, not that im with them but this thread was made becoz members were concerned about the thing abou SHout and GR so...thats for the "care" thing.

    i thought that you are a temp until llamaman is back!
    oh well thats totally diff , i dont care if you email me links to other sites anymore :)

    just one question though...
    if you are infact the new owner right now and not just a temporary one , thin why bother trying to make a other website thats allmost identical to GR?
    why not make the contest in this site?

    Shout GFX is badly run, they only have as many members as they do because they have spent so much on advertising, and the members register there, see wat its like and don't come back. Thats what happened to me with that site. Its a waste of money. They say they dont want anymore members then pay shaggy $400 for advertising. Go there and make u your mind, its one of the worst sites ive been on and when i think about how much money theyve spent on it, it makes me laugh!

    sadly all things that go up must come down and then back up again this is just a slump for GR but it kinda sux that shakky is how do i say this , abusing, his powers as admin by advertising other sites he may own i know you own the sites but. Do the members think its right i thought GR was for the members not for advertising thats just my view

    -----------------------------------------



    For all the members

    If you dont like a site........dont visit it and find a better one to play at :) Also understand that GR is a place that needs money to work properly. If you dont want these mails then please donate some cash to them. Instead of buying credits from members, ask the staff here to sell them to you.




    For GR staff

    Think about these actions a bit better. Its true that gr needs alot of money to be around and be up everyday. This way (mass mail) isnt the correct way to gain money. Sg is doing nothing but abusing you to gain members. There are better ways of gaining some income.
    For example, offer advertising space to bigger websites that actually sell something. Dont just use yahoo and the sell option here.



    Peace and goodbye.

    Bratzer

    Bratz comes in and just about owns everyone thats moaned about it. But yeh what hes saying is true, if i didnt want to stay here i would have left by now but Gamerenders is a special place for a lot of people, i have some great memorys here, some great times in the irc room, ive also made some great mates. I just think that there are 2 sides to this story, one being the members that just want to argue and the other being the members that are concerned about the way Gamerenders might be going, i am one of the second (kinda). I think Shaggy could do a great job and that llama would not have left this site to any tom, dick or harry. Shaggy has my support the whole way, he knows wat hes done wrong and i think its safe to say he will never do it again. hes still learning, this site could be different to any other site hes done weve all just gotta chip in and help him out rather than be at the ready to pounce on every mistake the guy makes.

    I think everything that could be said about this, has been said, so with those wise words...this thread is closed.
