[QUOTE="Morrus, post: 102137, member: 1"] [b]Re: Re: Re: Not deadly clear, rewrite the document.[/b] I agree - contrary to popular belief, EN World does not make a profit. All the ads and the RPGShop deal (which brings in a pittance) are just fundraising mechanisms for paying for server costs etc. Exactly the same as hosting a site on a network with banners (such as the Gamespy banners on Eric's old site). The difference is that I actually do the work myself (partly through a desire not to see "Aerosol Pheremones!" and horrible pop-up ads all over my site) rather than allowing a semi-anonymous hosting company to do so. That said, I understand that the financial aspect of supporting the site is more "visible" than it used to be, and that could make a difference. Anyway - I don't have a problem with the policy itself; it'sjust the practicallity of implementing it. However, I have asked AV for the following (I don't expect to get all of it, but anything is better than nothing). This is a copy of part of an email I sent AV: I'll let everyone know what he says. I think it'll all work out OK - WotC so far have been pretty reasonable and helpful with the issue. :) [/QUOTE]
