The amount of effort that Morrus has put into this site for years is practically worthy of nomination for sainthood. Lots of people work a lot less hard for actual pay. The fact that the site's lasted this long is nothing short of a minor miracle, and the chances that a site this massive and complex could go on indefinitely without somehow paying its owner for his time were exactly zero. Sooner or later, real life--be it finances or simple emotional burnout--were going to kill ENWorld; it was just a matter of time.If the site can actually pay Morrus a living wage, even a small one, it's frankly got a much greater life expectancy than it ever had before.This is not in any way some sort of "betrayal" of the site as a community hub, any more than it was a betrayal of D&D when Gygax and Arneson decided to sell it, rather than give it away for free. That's what ENWorld was before it became for-profit, and that's what it is now. The primary difference is that now, it's liable to be around for a lot longer.</blockquote>
