Yup. There is 0 entitlement with this site and its staff.

No one is making any money from this site, in fact @Koolo is losing $200 a month to keep it up. That's $2400 a year for for those with an IQ lower than 75 ITT (@Immy and @Maximus). And that's just to keep it running - all of the s--- he does personally for the community, like buying members PS4s is not counted in that amount.

I dropped $1500 on this site when it first opened trying to keep up a 50/50 split with Koolo, but at this point Koolo has probably dropped over $10,000 on this place. And he has no expectation of ever getting it back, when we opened the site, one of the first discussions we had was that it was never about the money for either of us.

And then how about what @Loya and @Slyk have done for this site over the past 2 years? None of us will ever get paid for our work here, but we still work around the clock because we want this to be something that lasts.

We're here because we like each other for the most part, and enjoy talking music with this community. Being a mod isn't a status thing. It's a responsibility that a few members take on to help the community out. There is no sense of entitlement with this job.

How corny do you have to be to start a campaign like #Immy4Mod LOL

The only cornier dude I know on this site is @Maximus who begged to be mod because he managed a Kendrick facebook page for a week.

Both these dudes are corny as f---. I would perm ban both of you, and I wanted to, but every single staff member said that it was going to far.

Hopefully you guys aren't pathetic enough to stick around though, especially considering no one likes you two except y'all two. Being butt buddies prob strengthened that bond tho.

This guy is my favourite member here, he's a @BigCountry tier poster so I asked him to be a mod because he was who I wanted to help shape the community.

But he said no because school was already a huge commitment for him.

Dude didn't salivate and jump at the opportunity out of a sense of entitlement, and so Fire Squad will always have my respect.

I was a little shocked at the "no" to my offer too LOL. Never been curved by a girl, but I was by this n-----.

Word I'm thankful for @Koolo to be honest.

When this place opened I had it in my head we were 50/50 co-owners, and while I'll always be a co-founder, this place is all his man.

Dude supports his wife, his children, and then all of us. Koolo owns this site 100%, I'm just happy I can be involved in a major role by being head of design and help steer how this site looks (best looking forum in the world btw. And we're taking a major step with 3.0) and functions. But even then, I would be useless at my job without guys like @Sleepy @JFK @Slyk and @Loya

But I wanna talk to guys like @YDB and @AI 3 about how trash Kendrick Lamar is hahaha.

The point is we're a community. If you don't see the value in that, or think we're corny for wanting our own place to talk to each other, then leave. Nothing is holding you.

this forum is far more than just eminem

bruh there are users I've never seen because they only sit in the J Cole section... and they can probably say the same about many Eminem section users. Or Kdot section users. This forum is incredibly diverse in interest. and I think that, along with the community, enough reason to keep it going.
