It's their house dude, what don't you understand here?

the 'house" actually is the sponsors. if a lot of people are indeed "sick" of their opinions then the sponsors will leave.

but in order for that to happen the site has to be avoided for a certain amount of time so that the "hits" drop.

Uh, no, actually letsrun was doing just fine before the sponsors, sizzlechest. The difference is that now the Brojos are actually making a little scratch off of it.

oh . i see, so the site would still be humming along if they had never received sponsorship money. hmmmmmmmmmm. i guess thats why they created the site in the first place, just so they could voice their opinion, not to make money.

please tell me your an idiot so i dont have to.

Here's an idea: Why don't you make a new similar web site, stealing all of the ideas from LetsRun, without the use of advertising so that we can swarm to it and read all of your intriguing opinions. Of course you will have to run the site on top of working at your current mediocre job to pay the bills, but that doesn't seem to be a conflict so far.

I know Im sick of their little comments. Besides the fact that have the time they're mispelt, they are not even necessary.

Dont they realise yet, that most (95-99% probably) come here to click on the links and then read the forum?

Get a clue brojos...or will you say "We disagree"?

I'm

Don't

Uh, sponsorship money? Do you know how many years they existed before making any money whatsoever off of the site? They make the vast majority of their cash from the site off of orders placed through the links (like Road Runner Sports, etc.), not direct 'sponsorship' money as you say.

Ha ha ha. Do you even know the Brojos? Listen to what I am telling you: they started the website with zero expectation of making any money. I can assure you, they certainly never dreamt of letsrun getting as big as it did.

So, in conclusion, yes: the Brojos started the site for the exact reason of discussing running and voicing their opinion.

You're welcome, sizzlechest.

shoot, i guess i do have to call you an idiot.

because making money through orders IS making money from sponsors...but of course, you being an idiot, can't figure that out.

you also are aware that millions of people start websites everyday without any expectations, and then millions have to shut down after several years because they run out of money(regardless of their intentions).

Jesus H, no wonder you don't have a beau

I'm missing the problem. There are hundreds, if not thousands. of websites who do the same. It's opinion, nothing more, nothing less. I don't believe Wejo wants you to agree with everything he posts - if there were not occasional controversial remarks, think how boring this site would be.

Sometimes Wejo is brilliant, sometimes accurate, sometimes not and sometimes naive.

I laughed when he gave credence on the front page to the story of the guy who had a vascectomy and led his girlfriend on for awhile to believe he was the father after she tried to nail him etc. That story has made the rounds for years and years - since the first guy got snipped - always resurfacing every twelve to eighteen months. Oh well. So the Brojos can be fooled, too.

But again, accept their remarks as opinion, I do - and I enjoy the site.

F

Wejo and Rojo.....another example of the liberal media gone wild.

Well put! Have a groovy weekend!

I like the one-liners and opinions even though they are often quite biased. Makes it interesting.

Ha ha ha. Hey, tough guy, you can call me all the names you want. I guess that's what badass 'nyc' guys like you do. But here's the deal- you're original assertion was that the brojos did not start the website simply because they wanted to voice their opinions. That is patently false, end of story: they have a passion for running and they wanted to throw their 2 cents in- letsrun was hardly a moneymaking scheme. So, you can argue all you want about the technicalities of 'sponsorship' money, and you can name-call all you want, but you're wrong, sweetie.
