Nah man. Dont worry about it. Keep it. Spend it and enjoy it.
That wasnt really my point. My point was that if the funds weren't getting jacked I'd have about $200 dollars or more in prize money to give away to DSFers
every month.
If i wanted to be a dick i could just disable all the adverts since I paid for the advert system to be installed but i'm not a gonna be a dick. The guy doesn't make much so i guess he needs that extra couple hundred a month.
It's whatever. This is his site so ultimately he can do what he wants but i'm not ever promoting the forum anymore. I admin another site that has over 300,000 users on at any given time and is ranked in the top 100 sites in the world. I can send massive amounts of traffic here any time i want but i havent been doing that for a while now because of this. That's why you never see the ONLINE USER numbers over 300 anymore. I used to have that up around 800-1000 or more often. He kept telling me that he could only give away the money quarterly so i held out hope for a while until it slowly started to dawn on me that he was never going to allow you guys to have that money. Then i checked the account and it was empty.
IMO, prizes were the next logical step here and i've been wanting to do it for a long time. We've always had trouble with sending shit out because of shipping and all that so GCs were the natural solution. I'd love to always have some sort of contest going to be giving out GCs here constantly but that's obviously not going to happen.
Sorry guys. There's nothing i can do about it.
I'll stay here and continue to admin just because i love the forum and the people and this place that we built from scratch is fucking amazing. I'm just a little sour about this shit because i feel like he fucked you guys over which, ultimately, is like fucking me over too. Like i said I'll get over it because it really doesn't affect me IRL in any way so it's not a big deal...
