A little arrogant to think that you know better than the site owner in giving him unsolicited "advice" like that, but you do you.

those "titles" are controlled by the management of Radio Reference. Next.Why do you care what he set his custom title to? He's obviously having a little harmless fun and doing some light trolling. Looks like he caught himself one, huh?
Wrong. Custom titles (the plain text) are editable by members. The banners for Premium Subscriber, Database Admin, Feed Provider, etc. are automatically added to the profile based on your membership status. Next!

You confirmed my response. Think you are missing the point. Do you own property in the Hamptons?

He's not the only one, my dude.
Or any "news" outlet for that matter.
I just renewed my premium membership, first time since 2009. I have some old scanners to program and having access to the database is a valuable tool. The archives are pretty cool too, though I wish there was some way it only recorded transmissions and cut out all the dead air. Oh well, can't be picky I suppose.

i thought we were here for the 'fun' of it and to help people.
So, I've only gone through the first page of this forum, however, I can tell, Mr. Blanton does care for his users (all of us that use his sites on the daily) and like he pointed out, the ads that run on here aren't full screen or any of that. Remember, he could make this a paid service only like some media outlets (cough cough, Gannett Media) or even regular websites.
Because I identify as a "Premium Subscriber"
Mods can mess with that. (BTW, you can change it back. My change should not be permanent.)
I think I'll keep it
Why not, anything goes these days 😆

Nah, keep it going, tis fun
As a guy who's been around since the TrunkedRadio.net days, I'm really disappointed to see Mr. Blanton stoop to such sophomoric behavior outside of the Tavern, but I suppose it IS his site....
I have times where I don't agree with Lindsay 100% of the time, but the entitlement on this thread is really pathetic, It's his site, it's not a government site, He sets the rules, and unfortunately, RR has absolutely no viable competition, and I don't see any of the whiners ponying up any of their personal funds to develop a competitive site, what are y'all waiting for?

Not seeing too much entitlement. What I do see are a bunch of users providing feedback which was invited by the OP, the site owner implying that he recently 69'd one user's mother, and a bunch of sycophants spouting off.

The content here that I check maybe once a month isn't worth disabling the ad blocker for. The users create the content and supply the feeds. Alienating those folks sure sounds like a stupid plan to me.
I've been a paid member for decades and I don't regret it. I've learned a lot and made a lot of good acquaintances and many whom I consider good friends! I like the fellowship and camaraderie! In recent years I've spent a tremendous about of time on RR, more than I should have for sure! Unfortunately due to age and health it's pretty much the extent of my social life. But it's also a place where my friends hang out and exchange and compare or radio hobby and experiences. I've noticed things have been going down hill for some time and it's unfortunate. Times and people are changing.
