Ed,
You asked for opinions. I'm a woman. You gotta bite! Here's mine.
Crappie.com has been a wonderful site where folks from all different styles and types of fishing come to enjoy each others tips, knowledge and comraderie. We have made many friends here, and many more to be made.
All that said, it has grown a LOT.
I don't believe it is asking too much for those that wish to advertise to support financially the site they are using to do it.
Perhaps a flat fee for a signature with a link to thier wares, add some to include a small picture in the sig. line.
Or they can pay a small fee and have it in the business directory AND a link in thier sig. line.
Nope...ain't asking too much. MHO.
Thanks for all you do!
