So far, even admin aren't creating any new groups. All the groups were imported from EP. Until they have time to integrate all similar groups and delete all the abandoned ones, it is unlikely that there will be any new groups created by anyone.

@Teirdalin: they have their day jobs and family. This is a sideline, not their chief occupation. You don't think this site generates enough income to support them do you? 😏😂

@Serenitree: It most definitely does. xD

@Teirdalin: okay. Not going to argue.

@Serenitree: Ran a quick calculation, seems the site has an estimated value of:
$54,000
with a daily income estimated to be:
Estimated revenue per day:
$ 158 / day
Estimated revenue per month:
$ 4,740 / month
Estimated revenue per year:
$ 56,880 / year
Which you're right, is pretty low for a whole team, but there is only like one admin and two or so mods that I can think of; and mods aren't generally paid all that much on places like this if at all. xD
18,984,600 pageviews / year
If they step up the ads a bit, or have some strategy with the ad selection algorithm or add a little "Please disable adblock" it'd boost profits a lot.

@Teirdalin: okay. I won't disagree. They have income. But before they started this site, I know at least one of them had a job in some field, (can't recall what, but probably something to do with computers) that I'm sure he loves, and probably spent a good deal on education. Maybe still paying off student loans.
My point is......this isn't a million dollar site. EP is dead, yet their income had to be 100 times or more what this one generates. I know they had legal troubles, but they were also in some serious financial trouble.
I'm just glad to have SW. I tried a dozen other sites and couldn't get comfortable. I've also noticed that a large number of the people who hate this site have been here, expressing that hate and their right to do so, almost since day one. Gotta love the haters. They're the ones who will never buy memberships, so the advertisers get them. And yes, I know all about Adblock. Before buying my membership, I tried it. I don't know how it works on wired computers, but on wireless, it was a disaster. The screen kept jumping around. I think it was trying to fill in all the spaces that the ads would have been occupying, but there wasn't enough content to do so.
