You're giving him a lot of tech credit with that analogy.
Also,
@Leigh said "that big meanie wouldn't say it to me face."
I want to make it very clear, as I have mentioned in other posts…..
I do not condone attacking Alta, their employees, representatives, or affiliates. I absolutely would not be okay with doxxing people or harassing them.
I don’t want anything to do with any activities or comments that even hint at that.
I have shared certain things that allow people to request their data be removed and that would be the extent of my personal recommendations.

Probably not.You're giving him a lot of tech credit with that analogy.
Also,
My back has been bothering me. Hurts to bend down too much.
Matisyahu said, "I do beatboxing and loxing". PJ said, " I sponsor her while she be Roxing".
One last thing that I want to point out. You'll notice that there are no ads here. And there are no sponsors. Never have been since the site's inception.
No ads + No sponsors = no ad & sponsor revenue. We made that decision 1) as a courtesy to the members, and 2) because we didn't want to be beholden to any overlords.
Over the past 9 years, the site has generated revenue two ways:
1) % of merchandise purchased by our members (the company who makes it gets the lion share of the $$$)
2) donations from members
I would estimate that we've made approx $1500 over 9 years (so approx $175/yr). So we've covered the large majority of software costs, domain costs, hosting costs, and any other expenses, out-of pocket. And that's okay. It's a labor of love, not a revenue center that we depend on to feed our families (i.e. we have real jobs outside of TMMAC).
Just wanted to be transparent, so there's no assumptions made that 'we're in this for the money' and operate the site with money in mind.
Appreciate you all.
EDIT: You'll also notice that the DONATION button is gone. Has been for years. We felt like it was awkward & didn't want to be perceived as trying to shame anyone into donating. And the link to the store is gone too. The store is still there...we just no longer advertise it.

There is no real method for donating anymore. Like I said, we used to have a DONATION button on here, and any money members donated went into an account that we used for expenses. We decided to get rid of it.
And the store is still functioning. We get a very small % of any sales, so it really wasn't worth the effort anymore. Below is a link if you're just looking for some cool swag...the hats, hoodies, and shirts are cool designs (in my opinion) and great quality. But like I said, we might get like $8 on a $100 order or some shit...so don't buy something thinking that we're going to get a bunch of $$$ from it. We don't.

I think a wait and see approach is best right now. This weekend, with UFC 305 going, will tell us whether we need to figure out a way to raise some money to cover increased server capacity, or not.
I do believe I like the cut of your jib young sir - you are almost as retarded as the collective OG with your business acumen- almost, but I really think this is a great new home, so thank you
See! Literally Hitler.
Original gangstas, da what ?
Leigh is a pussy, he will share your pm’sYou're giving him a lot of tech credit with that analogy.
Also,
Is pointing out that Alta high ups made accts with the refugees to monitor our activity here considered doxxing?
Because thats exactly what's happening as I type this.

There’s a lot of anger with “Alta”
I don’t know what that is, and maybe I don’t want to know
I have lived here and haven’t seen any problems like that, thank tmmac

It’s in the rules. No public posting of links or any of that.@Wild just for us newbs. Whats the policy on links to streams? Whether it be fights or movies and shit? Keep them via pm's or is it fair game.
Oh.. musta missed that page
I got you. It’s in the new member section.
