wot he said
Content - not commercials.
We may or may not be right. Those viewing with clever business heads on will not understand this but might like to read on.
Danny and I fly Boeings for a living. We don't want to wear suits. Our people don't want to meet your people and a power breakfast consists of reheating last night's ruby. We like running PPRuNe and we like aeroplanes. We are also naturally inquisitive - nosy if you like.
Only 2 forums earn money for us. We don't care - we subsidise the rest, including this one, 100%. We don't care. We didn't care when we got 3000 users in a month, we don't care now just about to hit 3000 users per 5 minutes.
We say no ads and we pay the bills not you. We said no ads 10 years ago and we still say it today. We want forums with content and we bar those, like the Kemble aeros mob who try to cross the line into advertorial.
Again, for the business hot shots - we grow at 30% per annum through this policy and have never borrowed a penny. It may not be how you'd do it but you are welcome to get stuck in and do the job properly elsewhere. You can have a go at the unmoderated sales forum at the same time.
PPRuNe ploughs it's own furrow that's all.
