Maybe the hobbyists, sure. But the providers? This is our income, our bread and butter - I think some people don't realize how this board can make or break providers. A two-week (or longer) 'vacation' dramatically effects our income, especially if say, you had just spent a good amount of your savings on a Caribbean vacation, and were on said vacation when the ban occurred. One might have stayed home and saved her pennies instead of lazily lying on a beautiful beach soaking up the sun. It's no fun scraping up change to buy groceries for your children, even with a killer tan, all because some douchecanoe wanted to make an example out of you. Hypothetically speaking, of course.

That for many ECCIE
IS their business...... Over and over for years we hear that this board and the members make up an insignificant amount of a provider's income. That ECCIE does not generate anywhere near the revenue they make off the ads they run on other sites......
I've always considered that bull......
Two questions.......
1) What responsible individual goes on vacation and blows everything they have and has no savings? Oh yeah.. The kind that think anything they want equates to sucking a little extra dick that week right?
2) If it represents your lifeblood, why RISK getting banned using male handles and gaining access to the locker room? Seems a number of ladies feel the need to do so and later we hear them whine in a similar fashion.....
really? whining now? you've come a long ways....
