JOINING THE SA FORUMS WILL REMOVE THIS BIG AD, THE ANNOYING UNDERLINED ADS, AND STUPID INTERSTITIAL ADS!!!

You can: log in, read the tech support FAQ, or request your lost password. This dumb message (and those ads) will appear on every screen until you register! Get rid of this crap by registering your own SA Forums Account and joining roughly 150,000 Goons, for the one-time price of $9.95! We charge money because it costs us money per month for bills, and since we don't believe in showing ads to our users, we try to make the money back through forum registrations.

Makes me how wonder how much money total has been made from registrations; you have to take pre-fee registrations into account. Seems like SA has made over 1.5 million from registration fees, which... has probably not even covered server fees.

Yeah it's 190k users over the last 14 years. When I joined in 2005, there were about 65,000 people.

Well, going off napkin math, it's like 120k a year on average, but probably not really. Probably thin years and thick years, if you know what I'm saying.

Plus radium and moving the servers from Orleans or whatever after Katrina.

Plus taxes, even if they are on the down low

Is it also possible to get them to launder underpants? I am a very lazy person and my wife is looking at me in an uncomfortable way. I suspect the pile of underwear, which might now be the entity that registered to break our 190,000 is alive.

When you consider what Lowtax has to pay in taxes and on server fees and credit card processing and whatnot, he probably makes $3 on every $10 transaction. Dude's probably doing fine assuming that he didn't spend it all on hookers & blow, but proceeds from SA aren't exactly high living.

What the hell is wrong with you people? That is a fair swag of money for someone that rented an office purely to play games and gently caress around. I wouldn't mind a cut of it for doing nothing
