I make a shit ton of money on the GLG and I invest the vast majority of it into my regenerative agriculture projects.
Its a completely separate entity. I have 10 more businesses that make money, a handful more that lose money.
None of those are the forum either.
Literally just explained this to you yesterday
SIR, THIS FORUM is the GLG’s TOP ADVERTISER
Honestly, I would be so freaking giddy if we made some changes or payed some dev time to handle some of Discourses todo list (especially the stuff that would benefit us directly)
No you just proved my point. You censor the forum to protect your bottom line
why not ask the GLG? the site has a direct link on the home page and every page for that matter…
@future just said it makes a shit ton of money… LOL 
I can do one better and have a rare item/ cash raffle. Does Future4200 have an ein? we can make it a paypal for donations
can we get a simple donation page or section setup for paid Future4200.com mods/maint? i know plenty here making money that would gladly donate to feed these types of software mods.
Ya i tricked sidco into not letting people delete posts after bad actors abused the privilege to somehow make more money off it. Makes complete sense.
No, Instagram is.
No the forum does not have an ein.
We would decide what we wanted from https://meta.discourse.org/ and you pay them, or a dev directly to make those changes.
The gang has always been more than open to finance any and all parts of the forum. I honestly thought I was covering hosting until Sidco informed me he was.
To be clear, to make changes to our discourse we would solve meta.discourse.org requests and then wait for them to be rolled into an update, right?
i know you are… I just think it would be a simple solution to all this. The GLG im sure can write the expense off…
saying its for website advertising
All day. However, fixing platform wide issues might be a pretty steep hurdle vs just making little tweaks to our instance
The GLG is both product and consumer, so NO expenses, pure profit. This forum kinda SHOULD be a GLG expense. I have been personally victimized by trusting GLG members to the tune of thousands of dollars. I’m sure other forum vendors have as well. It’s only fair
im just brainstorming ideas… to see what sticks… i said Qma too. I think as a community which most of us like each other can come to a solution
the parties and get together are certainy expenses… and large ones…
lab coats… literature… web hosting… all that is expenses for the GLG. Its makes a shit ton of money as future already admitted.
Those are paid for by sponsors
i dont think always…
Partially and event dependant. On average the gang covers 50% of the event costs
