Wouldn't that be the artists fault no the coders? The site seems to run fine and tlpd is awesome. Or are the coders doing the art too?! | ||

But for part time or non-regular work, I think it is just what you describe. I mean, 1k isn't going to be enough for any of our regular staff to drop their life and run a TSL 8 hours a day for 10 weeks. It needs to be a fulltime thing, and even then, doing something as a job may be different than doing something as a hobby to relax after your job. (Or doing something while you are at your job when you should be working... *shifty eyes*) With money you kill the spirit since all they do turns into a "must". This thread is a really nice read thanks Kenni since almost 7 years ![[image loading]](http://www.wgtour.com/upload/admin/5103_ilove.jpg) | ||

They had recently invested in a videogame league (relationship now defunct lolz). They heard about TSL, and without any preamble, they came to me and said: Donkey- Let's nto beat around the bush. We want to buy your site. ManifestoCrusher- Um, we play starcraft, not xbox. Donkey- That's ok. We will make it huge. ManifestoCrusher- Um, we don't even have a sponsor for the tournament yet. Would you be interested in a sponsorship deal? We could work out some sweet exposure for you. Donkey- We just want to buy the site. What is your business model?ManifestoCrusher- Our what? Donkey- How much do you get paid a month? ManifestoCrusher- Um, nobody gets paid. It is a volunteer site. Donkey- Yeah but how much do you MAKE? ManifestoCrusher- We pay our server fees with google ads and sometimes we make shirts. We don't make a profit though. Donkey- I'll buy your site. You know, I can't pay a lot, ut I could give you a few bucks for the domain and create a paid position. ManifestoCrusher- But we have about 30 staff. Who gets the money. Donkey- It could just be between you and me. ManifestoCrusher- ... Donkey- So how much for the site? ManifestoCrusher- One million dollars. Donkey has left the chat. Would be pretty rape if the donkey said "deal". Quite a TL-faith encouraging article  | ||

I could write, but I don't really follow the pro scene well enough. I'm a little sad that my greatest contribution is probably the drunk thread, haha. | ||

They got an ad and we got some money :p But they stopped giving us money, and it took us 6 extra months to remove their ad because we are lazy. Like I said, we move like turtles. | ||
