:::I don't think accusations like "you're just trying to bribe people" and "you admit to your own greed" can be classed as valid concerns. I'm not a politician, or doing company PR... I've tried to be as open and honest as I can, and anonymous comments who still jump to bad faith assumptions like the one above are just really annoying me, sorry. | |||

:::The plan is to redistribute the majority of the funds, paying almost 120 people (you're one of them), if revenue is high enough. New announcement probably coming later today. I just can't promise anything yet since I've no clue how much money will really come in. | |||

:::Here's what I'd actually do if I were greedy: Plaster the site with ads, easily making tens of thousands per month (yes, check the Google AdSense revenue calculator; the site has 40 Million page views per month and the calculator literally caps out at 10 Million), and I'd just pocket all that money. Would be perfectly legal by the looks of it (other BY-NC-SA wikis do it), and it would take a long time for a new wiki to get higher Google rankings so I'd be getting mad rich. But I'm not going to do it, and have instead been agonizing this whole time over how to fairly pay so many people around the globe and with vastly different levels and types of contribution to the wiki. | |||

:::Sorry, this became a bit of a rant. It's just really frustrating when you're doing your best to stick to principles, and genuinely try to make sure everyone is happy and treated fairly, and some people still jump on you with accusations, you know? Happy to respond to people who have actually contributed and have genuine concerns. Hope this didn't come across too salty.
