As far as I know, aldeer has always been a commercial venture. The ultimate mission of any commercial venture is to make money. It has never been a charity.

Capitalism used to be regarded as a good thing. I guess 8 years of our current president has convinced the majority of even AL hunters that it's evil.



You don't see the forest because of the trees.


OK, that old cliché can be a useful metaphor at times, but I'm gonna need you to explain it to me here. What represents the forest and what represents the trees? You said aldeer used to be "about members." In actuality, it has always been a business, and any legitimate business is always about making a profit for the owners. So what forest am I missing?

Aldeer is a great deal for me; it's absolutely free. The only money I've given this enterprise in 13 years is a few dollars for items I sold in the classifieds. So exchange for nothing, I've gotten thousands of hours of entertainment and learned a whole lot. I hope Skinny is getting rich off it.

Skinny, glad I could help a little, but I ain't holding my breath for the situation to improve.
