Whether it turns out to be anything large or not, there are already a sizable group of users who appear angry at the sale. He has been charging for ad-free premium accounts for years under the message of "helping to keep the lights on" for a community forum...well, it wasn't really a community forum, it was a private forum with a single owner who appears to have been clearing $500k per year. It also now sounds like all of the initial staff who help set it up were never given ownership stakes, and all left within the first year or two. The only people who ever received a stake were the tech team, and he bought them out a while ago. Right now the mods (and their idiot supporters) are trying to argue that they enjoy working for free while someone walks away with $500k/yr + $4.5m sale. Fuck them. Modding is fine if it's for non-profit reasons, etc. But for a site making actual money, mods should be paid for their labour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it'll turn out that it's secretly an internship program for some shadowy evil CEO organization. Like a test to see how little compensation it takes for candidates to be utterly condescending power trippers. "Just imagine what they can do with a $500k salary, you are hired Sir!"

I joined when this was splintered off of the old IGN forums and used to be called badcartridge.com. It's really the only gaming forum I've ever felt was worth my time. It's a small but thoughtful, interesting, and very fun community. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, this boards history has had plenty of drama, but we all stick around because we're a bunch of psychos. So welcome to the mad house!
