        No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.

            I already had to axe the babe threads and some hate speech threads (some about Arabs and homosexuals) because Google was going to flag the site because of them.
            Wow, the world really has changed. Poly is too hot for the internetz!

              I set it to not show for logged in users. For those Poly PLUS members who feel slighted to have "regular" members with such privileges, we have a new paid level of membership, called Poly MINUS. For just $10/year you can choose one user and we will show ads to them. For $50/year we'll use the really awful ads that only show horrible skin diseases.
              So that's why I've been getting royalties... 5 going to me is actually pretty awesome.

                  If Apolyton suddenly turns into one of the parked domains with a list of links to video games and dating sites ... you know who to blame ... the EU. (Does the Philippines have an extradition treaty with the EU?)

                    I think no. But there's one to the US for example. If they allow cascading extraditions ppl could be extradited there first, then from there into EU area (assuming it works between US/EU). Maybe with a couple more stations in between ppl could be extradited several times 'round the globe. This will be done until the cost of the extraditing reaches the mentioned 20 million, then ppl will get send back.

                    (On a more serious note, from what I read fines are applied "proportionally", so huge multi-million fines may go to large companies, but not to smaller businesses or even private persons who can't pay that anyway. Tho if new laws/regulations are out there might be some shady lawyers trying to take advantage of the initial lack of clarity resulting from larger changes)

                      If the fines are proportional to 4% income in certain circumstances, would they pay sites that are loosing money?

                        I'd say just hope for the best, but prepare for the worst

                          It's 4% of the revenue, so no.
                          With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

                            I've said this for literally a decade, but nobody listens to me...

                            Poly needs to change its format, coverage, whatever you want to call it. A re-brand. CFC beat us on the Civ stuff. Even DanQ realized this.

                            Maybe get everyone's ideas first, see what we come up with. Only thing I ask is we keep our hard-core trolling vibe. What is the worst that can happen? Get more traffic?

                              And the blatant money grab has begun.
