[size 1]So before we begin with this exercise,
We first need to understand where our positions lie.
First and foremost, we are sort of an extension of the sponsors of this site. With this in mind let us take a look at their position.
Ssor reminded me yesterday that our sponsors not only pay for us to have this play ground they give us great prizes on top of that. (Now tell me where you can go play and get perks to boot lol)[/size][/center] [center]
[/center] [ul] [li][#ff0080]Q -[/#ff0080] How do our sponsors pay for this site?[/li][/ul]
[#8000ff]A -[/#8000ff] They do it in the form of advertisement.
[ul] [li][#ff0080]Q –[/#ff0080] What are the perks provided to us by these advertisements? [/li][/ul]
[#8000ff]A –[/#8000ff] First – they pay for the forum that allows us to openly have a conversation and speak out minds about fishing political situations that encroach upon our rights to hunt and fish.
Second – they provide us with prizes from time to time for playing nice and drawing in potential costumers that read our commentary who are agreeable then sign on as members and then support our sponsors by purchasing their products.
[#ff0000]
[/#ff0000][#ff0080][/#ff0080] [ul] [li][#ff0080]Q –[/#ff0080] What do they ask from us in turn for their advertisement dollars? [/li][/ul]
[#8000ff]A -[/#8000ff] They ask to show and provide links of their advisements.
They ask us to provide a pleasant, informative, and fun place that will draw folks back where they will be welcome and again see their products and links.
They ask us as Administrators, Moderators and members to hold up a high standard of ethics and integrity. (With this exorcize we will gain the diligence that will enable us to sustain our ambitions to maintain our hunting and fishing rights that are coming more in question by those with other values than our own.
