for a site that has only been open for 2 years and certainly didnt have as many users in the first year, it would likely be impossible to estimate. especially since you cant really tell the ammount of money that may go into servers advertising, lawyers, and many other things that must be paid for, i would imagine lack has a hefty bill from his hosting company.

Number of premiums multiplied by $20.

2) What do you mean by "from premiums alone"? Freemiums are hardly going to generate any revenue for lack are they???

not counting CC merchandise.

3) If your projections are accurate lack is not making much money from the site when you take expenses into consideration.

you may be right, depending on expenses.

4) Frankly I think lack's revenues are none of our business and he deserves every cent he earns, and much more

Your opinion, although there is something to be said for transparency.

And you say that there is something to be said for transparency, however I don't see that that is applicable in this case. We are not shareholders in CC, we're customers and being happy that the site is running well and feeling like we're getting good value for what we pay is what's important. If you buy food at your local corner store, that doesn't give you the right to know what the proprietor is earning does it?

You know there is a more clever way to figure out the exact amount, but I'm not going to share it because trying to figure out how much money the site generates is both immoral and unethical.
