Hummm.... I wish I have read your post before my donation to JU. I can believe your post as I know adsence is a huge money maker. However, I donated in good faith to try and keep the site online, and this was my first donation in 5 years. So to all of that end, this site is free and ads are placed as terms of this free forum. No one but ProBoards will make money. However, depending on how big this site gets if at all, we may need to move to a paid program. But time will tell. There is nothing wrong with trying to make money on a website/message board. JU is ette's livelihood. Which is why Adsense ads were there in the first place... to cover costs and to have an income. I don't fault her or anyone for that at all. It is what is happening now, that bothers me. It happens every year around BB time. Although this time it is compounded due to the Adsense ads being pulled and other stuff but that's personal crap that i'm not going to get into. My aim in all this is not to disparage ette. It is to inform people that it's not the big bad meanie companies and google out on a witch hunt. It is simply the result of years of breaking the rules and finally being called on it. I've said about all i need to say. I've already spent way too much time stressing over something that in the grand scheme of things, isn't really that important. I wish you all success in this message board and hope this can develop into a happy and respectful place to share ideas and your lives. Take care.

Thanks so much for doing this - I panicked yesterday - didn't know how I was going to get through the season without JU. Here's to a great season!

After reading some of these posts, I am starting to wonder if I should have made my donation to jokers. I have been a member for like 9 years and really like being able to go there for updates etc. and getting caught up on all things BB. I don't post alot (reading takes up most of my time) or get involved with all the other stuff, I simply go there to be involved with BB. I did make a donation, I was feeling that if the site I have been going to for some 9 years is going down and I enjoy going there, why not help out. I really hope that Ette is being truthful and wanting the same, I do not truly know all the ins and outs of what is going on and I trusted what I was being told....hopefully not "my bad". If what some are saying is true, what goes around comes around. I will try to think on the bright side and hope that we get our site back up when its time and she uses our money for the purpose it was intended for. Thanks Lurking for this site I was wondering where we would be able to go.

If you'd like to see a record of past scams and lies from ette, just google "reality enquirer". Kind of old history but there is some really crappy stuff that JU has done over time and I doubt it has changed
