WF has 180,000 members, assuming 1/3 are paid members. Thats around $600,000 before taking the paid members from all other boards.

So thats $600,000 in the VS pockets NOT including the money made from ads. They probably have a team of 20 people at most.

None of the staf running the boards see any cash im assuming. Its sick.

Fuck. That's disgraceful. I see more reason as to why you Mod's did it.

Isn't that 180 000 accumulated from the over 6 years this board has been up? How many active users are there? I'd expect the majority of there money comes in through ads either way.

Thats my point.

$100,000 a year turnover before ad money is insane for a single forum.

As far as I'm personally aware, this has nothing to do with the fact we're not being paid, I think that needs to be made clear.

Of course it would be nice though.

I remember somebody saying they get a shit load from advertising, not sure how much they get.

= A Massive Profit, announciated by the fact that VS run a number of other forums as well, and while not drawing as much profit, the money is still rolling in.

I thought staff didn't care for payment, so yea, that's not the issue here, I do believe.

Yea I know this.

We pay for a service that cant be executed effectivley and efficiently why they sit there on their potentially million dollar turnover business without caring.

We are the fools tbh.

It's especially weird to see people like Bubba T without there blue bars. He's been a smod for sometime...
