This forum is not a business for AK. He does not make money, and in fact, I would venture a guess that running this forum actually costs more of his time than he receives financial compensation for, if not costing him money outright. I certainly hope he gets to pocket a few bucks for his troubles, but don't think that he's paying himself a salary (or any of the mods). To expect the kind of customer service that a goods/services shop should provide is a little much IMO.

I always have to wait several weeks and send a couple of PMs to get my decals. Knowing that AK isn't very active on the forum unless he needs to be, I don't bug him about it because it's not important. I send a PM when I renew, and then another one about 3-4 weeks later. One thing that can help is to check his profile page and see when he was last active. If he's been active recently, you may find it easier to elicit a response (he's actually online right now). Another thing you can do, like SouthArk mentions, is PM Trips - he is a fairly active moderator and should be able to help pass along your request. GL getting your decals, and thanks for going Premium
I've come to notice that a lot of new members tend to think this site is a cash cow for AK and I've even seen people elude to Trips as well. Which is not the case lol. I am just glad this community is active enough and cares enough to constantly address the situation and keep up the good name of the forums. So happy to be apart of this multi billion dollar forum site. Hahaha ha

Extremely sorry for the delay. You will receive a pm from me and I'll send you your decal as early as tomm if I get your info tonight. Since I have NEVER had waited 10 months to send decals as you're saying, I had to look up your premium subscription. You purchased premium on 10/18/14 which means it should have processed your decals on 11/18/14. But I am running two weeks behind as today is 12/1/14 but still not 2 1/2 months, it's 1 1/2 months. However, still it's not an excuse. Though delay of decals should not be a reason to be upset over "how the site is run", you should measure that over the content of the forum and members post content/thread content etc. If there are other aspect of the forum that made you come to that conclusion, then we can discuss it privately. If it's strictly decals, accept my apology and decal should be shipped tomm (assuming I have pm from you with address tonight)

As for zmanelite, I'm actually shocked. Your name HAS got to be slipped out somewhere. You do not have a pm from me asking about decal selection? odd. Well, send me your address and decal selection. I'll ship out a pair asap.

Thanks
Thanks for getting back to me. Please excuse my increasing build up of frustration pertaining this issue only. This site has been a great resource to me with everything that I've done to my Z.

Also thank you Trips for working with AK to quickly solve the issue.

I'm a 'premium member' and have no idea what it even does for me. I just know that hosting forums doesn't come cheap, money or one's time, so I always put up whatever dollars it takes to help keep things going on any forum site I join.
I received my decals inside of a week or two, no problem.
AK even followed up to see I got them.
No issues here; sorry to hear you're having some.
I'm sure they'll get sorted out.

We are one big family! Until I buy and trade my Z! Lol

Seriously this site makes me insane in overspending! But I love it.

I upgrade here recently and in no big hurry for the decals but don't know if I am in the loop yet.
This is a good site with plenty of information to be had. To me it's well worth the cost even without the decals. We should be happy enough with this site and the support it does provide

Kudos to you all for making it happen here and thank you!

I also signed up a couple months ago. I eventually got mine. A little patience. They have lives outside this forum too and holidays add extra business to life..

Let's be realistic here. Vendors and sponsors pay AK to help run this site.

The cost to run this site is:

Domain reg fees + hosting/bandwidth + forum license

The money generated from this site is:

Sponsorship/vendors paying dues + forum memberships


Vendors and sponsors pay good money to be here as they know being here and having a presence = sales. AK knows having a place for them to market = sales for them and is thus valuable for him.

I can't speculate on numbers but again, being realistic, it may not be enough to live on or buy car parts or whatever, but significant money is generated through the370.com, a place we can all agree -- we are thankful that it exists.
