Is This Site Really By Atheists or For Making a Profit By Some Who Don't Care ?

Is This Site Really By Atheists or For Making a Profit By Some Who Don't Care ?

Moderators,

What do you do if you receive more donations than is needed for the cost of the server each month ?

Are you really atheists or don't you really care and just take the money ?

Are you profiting from people's beliefs and they trust you and don't know ?

Will your financial records be in accord with the number of donations of committed atheists using this site ?

That's when Tib starts snorting coke out of rolled 20's and offering bums substantial amounts of money to beat the shit out of each other...why, what's up?

Last time we took a team building convention to Vegas and spent over 800,000 dollars of our donators' money. We made commemorative coins and yearbooks, and just spent our money on whatever the fuck we wanted to, like staying in swanky hotels and drinking the finest wine.

1.) Its none of your fucking business what he does with *donations*.

2.) Not all of the donators are atheists.

3.) I hope he pockets it. This shit didn't code itself you god-bothering sockpuppet.

He may make enough to cover the costs of the server one month and have $50 left over, then be $75 short the next. Either way, who gives a shit?

Then the excess is put towards the next month's costs. We don't get the same amount of donations each month. This month I think we got 25% of what we needed. I'm committed to paying for this site (and others) out of my own pocket now.

I'm really an atheist. I care about these forums, and I have never "taken" the money for my own personal gain. In fact, for a long time I funded the forums out of my own pocket, and I'm doing the same thing now.

I currently expect to pay for about 75% of the current hosting costs this year, unless people start donating more. That's just over $1,000 of my own money, and I do it gladly. In no way am I profiting from this site.

If you want me to release the records of each donation we've received, I'll gladly do so.
