If the admins own the shroomery then asante owns part of it too and gets a cut. Not that there is anything wrong with that.

Of course nothing is wrong with it, if anything I'm supporting it. It's cool as shit to make a living running the shroomery. He does and did a shitload of work.

God I wish that were possible! But no, for all admins its a matter of a few hours each month. I don't want to make the effoirts of the admins sound cheap, but its not a super big deal running a website as large as this. If the skills of all admins were infused into one, that one still wouldnt have a fulltime job running the whole site. Which is a good thing, cause admins have lives too

We're not selling the Shroomery so none of us gets a cut ever, but as Ythan pointed out in his bio, we get a compensation for the hours we put in.

Asante, there are loads of things you could do if you put your mind to it. Not flipping burgers, not parking cars, but something perhaps in the sales field. Or something in advertising. You have the knack for it, I can see that. Perhaps start your own advertising agency and write ad copy for others who don't have a clue. You might like it a lot.

Asante said: Nothing high and mighty about being an admin 
The Members are what it's all about, the Shroomery would be nothing without it.
The Sponsors and Supporters have faith in us and bring in the bread.
The Moderators carry the biggest burden of maintaining the website, and there are so many of them to do so, and they do this as volunteers with no pay.
Then there's the Admins who keep an eye on things as to direction, disputes, finances, the tech side of things and improving the website which is a neverending task. We do what we can but, we're just cogs in the machine and the machine is there for the members and the passers through, of the latter we have over a million unique visitors a month.
Well Put, I think the main problem is the moderators have an overwhelming task stomping out liabilities. Their are far to many idiots that are jeopardizing the community 24/7. I haven't hosted a website or designed a database for quite some time.
With that said, I still know a few updates & tweaks could eliminate many of the issues I previous mentioned. Using and maintaining their own hardware does add to the cost to keep this ship sailing. However lots of moderators time and operating cost would be saved. There must be a dedicated member, proficient in web design & security with the ability to donate their time.
Even if there isn't I would re-instate my supporter account if such a proposal was made and they need the funds to get it done. Also as I said before I would give them a few extra bucks when I could if they took donations other than via the supporter account. Not to mention I don't think the privacy upgrade should be part of the supporter account. It's free software!!
*EDIT Last time I checked the price of the supporter accounts I must have been really broke or didn't have my glasses on. However I stick to my believe they would bring in more revenue by taking donations &/or lowering the cost of a supporter account. This way people are still able to give more when they can afford to do so.

He's also rumored to have spilled ranch dressing all over the servers while he was masturbating. The whole site got wiped pretty much and everyone had to re-register.
