I agree with kevin (khawk), i can sometimes see that they''re pending too much time for this website. the message board is not the only part of the website and there are a hell lotta other things that they should work on.

btw a question for kevin: how much money do u make from this website?

seriously? so it''s not really worth it to put up a site like this?

Whether or not it''s worth it depends on what you''re in it for. In our case, money has nothing to do with it. We all enjoy being able to help people, and be actively involved in the game development community.

Although the financial affairs of GDNet are no one''s business but ours, I will say that it is our objective to make a profit from the site, and we have the means to do so. Right now, everyone working on this site is employeed elsewhere; we do this in our free time, what little of it there is. Eventually, some of us will be able to do this for a living, which will benefit everyone because we''ll be able to produce more content more consistently and give you all the features you want.

BTW, anyone who thinks that running a web site is easy money is dead wrong. We all bust our asses doing this, and I have personally sacrificed countless hours that could have been spent on school, work, or, most importantly, my family. So, like Kevin, statements such as "I worry that whoever controls gamedev.net does absolutely nothing (except play games?)" piss me off to no end. Fortunately, there are more than enough messages/e-mails from people who appreciate what we do to counter that.

heh, i appreciate what you do here too, don''t worry, that guy didn''t know what he was talking about
