Is any business any different? Anything you buy goes to the bottom line and helps in a small way in increasing value.

If you need great powerboat info, you come to OSO.
If you want to share powerboat info, you come to OSO.
If you are getting screwed and need to bark, you come to OSO.
In the market to buy a powerboat or goodies, you come to OSO.
You want to sell a powerboat or goodies, you come to OSO.
One hand washes the other.

Ahhh what? Lucky is what you call it? IMHO OSO is lucky to have the members it has that spend the time they do on this board making it what it is. I check on 5 boat forums on a regular basis. 3 of which are very minor league compared to OSO and yet no limit on P/Ms on any of them. Just a simple, "it's the rule" would have been good enough.
As for getting something free and wanting more .....
How much time do you think I've spent on OSO posting projects, reading through posts with the chance I may be able to add something then typing the response out, editing pictures, posting to free hosting and then putting it all together and posting it to the board. Now times that over 2000 times.
Again OSO is lucky to have so many non paying members that contribute. Regardless if its people looking for answers to an issue, people answering those people or just people posting stupid pet videos it's all content and traffic and is why OSO is worth anything and can charge what they do for all those ads over on the side and at the top of the page. So if it was me I would treat non paying members with a little more respect. If OSO could do it with just paying members I wouldn't be here and we wouldn't be having this conversation.

Keep in mind....I don't believe the Mods get paid...so you might be a toe or 2 out of line when it comes to a cash related complaint.

That's not 100% true. We got $10 Amazon GCs one year. I think that was 2011.
