I wish this were sticky'd at the top of the board, permanently.

JS, thanks for doing this.

Jimmy, does your employer require you to do these awful slideshows as opposed to just making a list in an article?

If not, please stop.

It is a requirement, yes. As a free publication, we have to generate revenue in ways that make dollars, not sense. Without it I may not be employed. That's the nature of our business now.

Probably the best read for recruits and message board fans to read. I really enjoyed the honesty and frankness of it. Great Read, Jimmy!

FWIW I do pay for a subscription to the actual printed newspaper and have for the last 15 years.

Maybe there can be a login for paid subscribers where we can just read the article online on one page without a slideshow?

I don't mind ads, but the slideshows are terrible and I don't read them online. If I click a headline and it's a slideshow, I'll hit the back button.

Also, the browser redirects to cheesy scam sites claiming I won a prize are not cool.

Sorry for the rant. I do financially support y'all and those are my thoughts on the online revenue model.

"preys on 16-18 year young men".


Damn bro that's a terrible sentence. These kids love being recruited and can easily make it stop. "Preys on" is a terrible choice of words. I'm literally embarrassed for you.
