As if they don't make enough money off of all of us to cover the cost of a sponsership.

+1

I would think one of us alone more than covers it lol

I think it's hard for business's like our local fish stores to stay afloat these days. I know first hand, I helped out on weekends at a local fish shop years ago it went belly up even with minimum competition, fish-coral market is pretty small on the west coast. But I would guess the biggest factor is all the free advertising you can take advantage of thru social media. Why spend big bucks if you don't need too. Sponsorship is not cheap

A upgrade too this site may also help attract new sponsors and users it's kinda looking old, (no fault of the mods) the layout of sites like r2r is pretty awesome just saying hint hint Titus.

I second the call to a upgrade to this site. It is out of date compared to the forum software readily available and in use on other sites.

I haven't been on the other forums so I'm not sure of the difference in style.

As you folks can see by the dwindling sponsorship dollars, the owner of this site has no interest in upgrading the site or attracting additional revenue.
It is what it is.
It's too bad.

The last talk of upgrading was 3 years ago.

Many sponsors have left since then.
The results speak for themselves.

It's the fight with the drift of users to Facebook. Damn kids these days :)

Facebook is a factor, but I wouldn't characterize Canreef ownership as "proactive"
Competition will always be around.

Ain't this the truth
