The Boss listed out one day the things that were being purchased. It wasn't simply servers.
He mentioned several things. A router may have been one.
I'm not tech savvy and didn't understand all the things that he was talking about. And there's nothing wrong with asking him ya know.

I'm not tech savvy
I am. It is 2012 and not being "tech savvy" is nothing to be proud of.
As I said I have no problem with Jim taking a salary and paying his staff. FR is a full time job and Jim can determine his salary. That is the way business works.
Just don't blink your eyes coyly and tell me that eggs are $200.00 a dozen when we ALL know they aren't.

(37,540 posts)I doubt Rimjob has invested $10.00 into that site since it went online in the 90's. It's all going into his pocket...but the morons aren't bright enough to figure that out.

(20,317 posts)authoritarian leader-types view people who are scammed as suckers who deserved it. They actually express admiration for people who lie and cheat well. It's bizarre, but there you go.

(30,885 posts)...the majority of which probably consistes of RimJob's "salary."
I've never read a thread where he breaks it down into anything other than staff salary and operating costs. Every once in a while he makes a vague reference to purchasing a new server, but probably not at a cost of $376K.
He's basically hosting a low-rent chat forum for right wing extremists and living a fat lifestyle.
Yesterday, on the Website, it said:
"Woo hoo!! And we're now over THIRTY-ONE percent!! Thank you all very much!!"
today it says:
"Woo hoo!! And we're now over THIRTY-TWO percent!! Thank you all very much!!"
So he's probably having a small heart attack over this quarter's grifting pace.

(18,184 posts)of everything that's wrong with today's conservatism. An authoritarian leader that brooks no dissent, gullible followers who are exploited financially with little to show for it. Then there's RimJob's inertia and resistance to change until things are falling apart.

Instead, I think you're right. His major investment is probably kibble for the litter critter in the wheel.

(26,219 posts)which have LONG been a laughing stock.
Surprised he still has an account there. Just said that RimJob is LYING and claiming a dozen eggs cost $200 in order to get the rubes to paypal him some more beer money.

(30,885 posts)1). There was a bit of a bloodbath, via RimJob's various fatwas and "zots" (F.R. equivalent of DU's "tombstoning" . In short, Romney supporters (and anyone vaguely ambivalent on Romney) were banned from the site. Many of these people used to kick in to "freepathons."
2). "Operating Expenses," which have ALWAYS been somewhat "under question," are now REALLY being questioned in the wake of RimJob's EXTREME censorship and iron hand when it comes to "staying on message."
In short, he had a loyal following of dweebs who maintained a $350K+ salary yearly, and he roughed them up, and now he's not getting paid.
Payback?
It's a BEE-yotch.

(16,188 posts)eggs aren't $200.00 a dozen?
the only contact I have with that site is through DU and even then I get that dirty feeling when reading the
mispelled words and stupid comments.
