Dev, FNW and Rog pocketed $$!

well if thats true that just aint even right

Well, it's what I am told. They've received quite a nice sum of donations that got pocketed. While they're sitting there not doing a thing, Mattmeck didn't get a cent while he's busted his ass for years on this forum. Whatever though, who cares right? It's just donated money. I mean, taxes get wasted every year by government expenses and no one does anything about it. :p

well if thats waht he was mad about he really shouldnt have taken it out on the rest of the community though it does say alot about why he was so hot tempered at times

Considering anyone in the position to be able to have access to donator money has without a doubt put endless hours into working for the emulator, I personally don't have a problem with this. Any small amount of cash they might be able to pocket would be nothing compared to what the going rate is for a developer position in a real job.

My understanding was that these forums and website were paid for by Rogean, so if he got donations, then as long as the website remains up I don't see why there should be any conflict here.

Last, I don't think it is a good idea to let rumors spread without any real proof. I suggest that everyone ignore that until some proof of any accusations are shown. Even then, I don't think any presumptions should be made until the full picture is seen/heard. The last thing this community needs right now is more drama. Innocent until proven guilty IMO.

I really hate to see people burn bridges and blow things out of proportions. There is always a chance that it will be regretted later. I understand that the admins and devs have worked hard and long to get those titles, and I think they deserve for us all to reserve jumping to any conclusions until there is a good reason.

I'm sure it wasn't the reason.


Also, the donation money is meant to maintain servers and expenses regarding the site. Not to buy a pizza with or in Rogean's case a "Bacon Cheese Burger" from Wendy's.

I have to agree with richardo even the implication that anyone pocketed donations is seriously wrong, this isnt give the devs play money its help the emu i dont see how giving someone pocket cash would be helping the emulator in any way shape or form

I don't see why every time there's a bit of drama people have to start throwing around accusations.
