That's my take on the whole WTW and TOS situation. TOS used to be a much better place with rainbows, puppies, and midgets. You can argue TL had a passion for the board. That's the Passion Business Model. You do something because you love it and damn conformity. You encourage the crazy and embrace it.
Now it seems the desire for profit has taken hold and TOS is now following the Profit Business Model. Decisions are made based on how mainstream users will react. You can also refer to it as "selling your soul". People are complaining because there seems to be varying standards applied by different mods. That happens when you move from the passion business model to the profit business model, not everyone can be on the same page. This happens all the time. Fark was once a great place to hang but is now a shell because of the profit business model. Remember the Royals when Kaufman loved the team and had more money than God to pour into it? Now it's just another Walmart store.
BTW, if WTW wants to change to the profit business model warn me ahead of time so I can leave before it changes from Brett Favre 2008 into Brett Favre 2010.
Another thing, I have ads blocked, seriously blocked on my browser. It never bothered me on TOS because they constantly pushed their premium crap on the masses. I didn't mind not contributing by blocking ad revenue because of that. On here there's no premium so I feel I should be contributing some coin to the upkeep. Is there a paypal account or some way to pass a few pesos to the cause? I'm not trying to start a 'send money to WTW' campaign. I canceled my Total Fark subscription and figured I can throw some money at a site running on the passion business model. Plus, the mods suck here and need some mod training manuals :devil:
Well the mods really don't suck that bad here. I might have embellished that part a bit.
