TSR Sharing your infomation!

[Requip]

Did everyone see Thomass' new second house, bought with subscription monies? http://coconut-tsr.livejournal.com/2008/10/16/ I hope he calls it Mt. Bandwidth. 

Did everyone notice Atwa didn't make any comment?  Is she jeeelus? (or was she gone by then?)

[SoggyFox]

I think she -was- gone by then - that was onlt a couple of months ago.

Is TSR the only thing that man does for a living?  

It's unclear, as the company that owns TSR is another company that Thomass and the rest of the TSR staff own. His job is exactly the same thing on both sites - html and graphics.   Considering the amount of time he spends there, he's not doing much else, and TSR is his main income. 

When it comes to earnings, conservative estimates are that minimum, TSR makes $500,000 a year gross - even if a minute percentage of members take out a subscription.  Take away say 200 payments of $300 for artists, and that still leaves an awful lot for administration and bandwidth.

What is it called when one diverts money from one company (Lets say TSR) & puts it into another company (The company that owns TSR) to make it look as if the money is actually being made by said company? & Is TSR registered as a non profit company?

This is a very good question. Let me see if I can correctly answer this one.

Maybe...

"Corruption, when applied as a technical term, is a general concept describing any organized, interdependent system in which part of the system is either not performing duties it was originally intended to, or performing them in an improper way, to the detriment of the system's original purpose.
Its terminological usage possesses connotations of evil, malignance, sickness, and loss of innocence or purity." Font: Wikipedia

Hm. Maybe not.  I´m not sure if I know this word in english.

"Fraud - Definition: Deception deliberately practiced with a view to gaining an unlawful or unfair advantage; artifice by which the right or interest of another is injured; injurious stratagem; deceit; trick. " Font: accute and reliable dictionary

I can be wrong, of course.

Thats it! Thank You ISD

Sure sounds to me thats what could be happening at TSR. Funneling the money from TSR into the company that owns it to hide TSR's true earnings. Maybe thats what Atwat is holding over Thomas & Steve's heads?

FA's? What FA's?
Their just employees of blah blah blah not TSR.
Money? What Money?
TSR dosent make money. Our subscriptions just help to pay for our servers & bandwidth.

Yeah right!

[i saw drones]

Surely they wouldn't be THAT stupid.
Well...

omg thomas as gangster.  He is probably going to pay us a visit with the horses head.  Providing some one makes him a mesh for it first.

He would most likely be visiting us with Atwats head & her horrid flood filled creations

Oh the horror's of it all!

[justso]

WB  whyyyyyyyyyyy.  Not a good image atwats head in my bed.  Insomnia inducing.

[Feverish]

That house looks unsafe. I didn't know it was possible or legal to put a house together like that. Maybe it's because I'm from tornado alley usa. I was gonna make some joke about how it might not be wise to buy a house from IKEA. After searching to make sure IKEA doesn't sell houses, I discovered that they actually do. 

[Zazazu]

I so want to make one now. You have no idea how much flatpack furniture excites me. I chose not to get certain models of things at Ikea because they came pre-assembled.

You are being too hard on yourself.  I can see not liking what you did, but don't be pissed off at yourself, it won't accomplish anything. 

Thanks and if I sound like I am running around wearing a hairshirt and groveling in the dirt, I am not.  I think by posting that stuff, I went a long way into making amends with myself. 

Oh you are so doing this for sympathy.  It's so obvious, because everyone knows this is the site where sympathy and forgiveness flow like milk and honey and no one ever gives anyone a hard time here.  This site is known for its gentleness.   Tomato, the fact that you are willing to share this information and to come here and let everyone know who you are, says pretty clearly you are not trying to gain sympathy. 

LOL! I forgot. I should have remembered I am doing it for the fame.

No matter how much you want to blame yourself,  you aren't nearly as responsible as Thomas.  You might have been guilible, but guilble isn't as bad as manipulating. 

I agree with this.  I had a part, but he had a larger one.  I justed want to make sure that everyone understood that I do not blame everything on Thomas.  I am too self-aware to be able to do that.
