I dont see how people are complaining about new members. I remember reading multiple posts in the archives from years past of members complaining about new members.
I think most complaints of new members are in jest (hopefully). New members help make this forum an expanding community, and that couldn't be wholly bad.

Slavery? You want to use a word as strong as slavery to inaccurately describe the people who donate their time to run a forum?
We'd get to live on your property while working for free in order to make YOU money.
What does that sound like to you? A fantasy camp?
It was a pathetic, manipulative, and insulting offer. We didn't take it. No self-respecting person would. Let it go.
Don't even start talking about "for the love of culture." You are to sneaker culture what some greedy 60 year old record executive is to hip hop culture. The ONLY reason you put up a sneaker website in the first place was to make money. If it weren't for NikeTalk supplying you with all those opportunities in the early going, you'd probably have folded up shop and started selling snake oil long ago. It's just a product to you and you'll step on anyone if it helps you expand your little market share. Who HAVEN'T you tried to "acquire" over the years? You bought air-jordans.com, you bought kicksology, you TRIED to buy NikeTalk... hell, you even tried to "acquire" Ekin702 and a few other influencial NikeTalkers. You don't "give back," you invest to further your own selfish interests.
Unfortunately for you, not all of us want to help you strip mine sneaker culture.
Your forums have ads, your forums ARE ads. The proceeds from our ads will benefit charity. The proceeds from your website and magazine go to YOU. I haven't made one cent on this community, you've been milking it dry. Now, tell me again who's in this for the love of the game, and who's in this for the love of money.

Would it be possible, or even a good idea, to send Nike our compiled list of fake sites once it becomes large enough to actually catch Nike's attention in an effort to combat the fake manufacturers through Nike? ... if that makes any sense...
Nike know's about ALL the sites. believe me.
As for respect in the Industry and who has it. For those assuming they think they know. You'd be wrong.
Everyone respects grass roots operations and entities who don't gain profit from their core following, yet give not only to their following but to the actual industry as a whole.
Things like Ads on NT are a necessary evil, that will keep what many here need as it feeds their addicition.
Life is not what everyone thinks it is. Neither is this thing we call the Shoe Game.
