I would say and Bingo I'm sure would agree, that we don't want posters who can't abide by the rules without complaining about them.
*more laughter*
Incorrect premises lead to incorrect conclusions. Search all the threads in the mod area discussing rule changes, and you'll never find any of them concerned one iota with trying to change the rules to increase increase revenue. Bingo's not ever handed down a directive to change how things are done to serve driving revenue.
I can say for certain that the narrative you've imagined it isn't true. Or are you saying I'm lying?
Well your feelings are wrong. All the discussions about any rule changes and policy changes involved people who get exactly $0. The mods and admins are all volunteers who do it because they see value in the site and community.
Define huge. $5 a month on Dreamhost isn't going to cut it...

Well nothing you say with respect to the revenue of the forum holds any wight unless you open up the books; that's assuming you've ever seen them and are not talking out of your you know what. With that said, I don't think it needs to be made public, I'm just not going to believe you at face value without evidence.
With respect to you talking about me saying you are lying, how could I have possibly have said or even implied you are lying when I have no idea who you are and never addressed you prior to this post? Speaking of imagining things.
I have no issue with how things are run here, I'm just offering a perspective that members may wish to consider or keep in mind as the direction of CP changes and changes are made.
I don't believe much of your mod jibber jabber with respect to the motivation behind decisions and the true revenue of the site and I'm not required to in order to be a member or to enjoy the CP community just like you don't have to give a rats butt about anything I say nor do you need to address it. With that in mind, I don't think you're lying either, I don't care one way or the other, I'm just skeptical.
I follow the rules and I enjoy the site but I think it's certainly within the realm of possibility that the new direction of the forum and revenue are tied together.
No big whoop.
