FP2.0 makes a point in his post about the condition of Übersite with regard to advertising. But nobody wants ads and everybody likes anonymity and almost everybody has an alter or five that they use to be a dick. And yet, it's a bit unfair that Bart should put this effort into maintaining a place for all of us to play for free, merely out of the goodness of his cardium. What's wrong with making a dime or three from the work? Nothing. But how can he preserve Über as we all seem to like it and still buy some groceries with it? I have an answer.
Bart could make a lot of money accepting various levels of 'hit' contracts on users that other user(s) find undesireable. For a price, he could 'kneecap' a user by disabling their rating ability for a time. For more money, he might 'kill' the user by permanently disabling their account. And the extreme measure might be to 'disappear' a user by replacing all references to the user's name with something like "Whatzizface". There could even be a set price for the self-requested deletion of an account, call it 'Übercide' maybe, so emokids can kill themselves off and feel better. The prices could be set high enough to make it a real decision for the contractor and low enough that everyone could get in on it with a partner or two.
If Bart did this but did not place any restrictions on allowing the actual person to reregister under a different name, he'd have a continuing source of income without advertising. I think it's a good idea.

This is pretty much is response to your review on my post, and the reason there are a lot of misspellings are because I have no time to spell check, and I have no program that has spell check, I'm just poor like that.

Or, Bart could just charge a per-user flat fee.

I hope that wasn't an attempt to insult me.
I'm pretty sure I gave you a +2 at least once, asshole.

A -2 from Schlongy. Never saw that coming. I believe that if anyone else combined his near-universal -2 reviews and patent lack of humor they'd get banned for being a useless mindless dick.

This is the dumbest idea since "shared equity lending" to retards with horrendous credit ratings.
"Of course they'll pay. They never have before but this time it'll be different"
You're a fucking retard.

Yeah, starting a fucking virtual mob war sounds like a great idea.

Perhaps you're right. But it would be more entertaining than a lot of what's going on here lately.

This line did indeed make me smile:
'Übercide' maybe, so emokids can kill themselves off and feel better'

I believe there might be ways to improve, but this is a pretty fucking stupid idea.
