O and I meant money wise...
|
not too much. i think some maniacs give them money because they want upgrades to byond. I think dan and tom both have other jobs in which they make most of their dough :)
| |
Not enough to keep the server's running eventually.

I'd wager sickeningly little.

According to the annual report, in 2002 Dantom International had gross revenue of $18.3 million, net revenue of $2.3 million, and paid out salaries of $1.15 million to each of two executives. Disclaimer: The "annual report" referred to in the preceding information does not actually exist, nor does the money. For the correct answer, see Deadron's post! | |

I think dan and tom both have other jobs in which they make most of their dough :) I am not a maniac and I contributed a fair little sum of BYONDimes to Dantom, not for upgrades, not for respect from them, not because I know them (because in all true honesty I know more or less nothing about them besides a few tid bits)... The reason I contributed is because I thought they would be better having dimes that I would never use, and I also donated because I thought, no... I know that it would only be fair to help them out accordingly because of what they have done for the thousands of people who are currently using BYOND today. Anyhow, I don't think it is really right or necessary, for you to go insulting others when they have done absolutely nothing wrong to you. -- Agree? --Lee | |

All i'm trying to do here is just make a topic where everyone can just talk and wonder how much they make. Don't make it seem like your angry. and im not looking for an answer im looking for opinions.

Does anyone think that it's a possibilty that Byond gets closed down if they start losing to much money{If they lose money at all}?
I sure hope not.Many people hve put so much of their time into this... | |
They are losing money, and have been for a few years. There is now a need for them to actually start getting money from BYOND now which is why there are many reforms going on (Byondimes etc..)

I never took offense. I was just stating a valid point, although if I did take offense I would have been rather irrational. --Lee | |
