How does Raz make money on this site?

I assume most of us are running as blockers. So how is he generating revenue to keep this place afloat. And if you aren’t, who’s actually dumb enough to clock on the ads?

Bada says he always clicks on the ones about penis enlargement, he's certain one of these scientists will have had a break through

Ad revenue.

As Digi mentioned years ago, site actually shows up via google search often - guess that's enough.

Psychonauts don't need money.

Broly is stealing ad revenue with ad blockers.

Literally everyone had the site white listed. I know, I asked them all. Stilt and Impediment just PM'd me that Broly is a terrible revenue blocking person.

That's why he kept getting banned. You think it was because of his behavior?

Probably by stealing your bandwidth to mine bitcoin.

Is he rich?

I'd assume Raz is not rich but he has a day job that keeps him busy. He clearly works in something IT related.

However, he probably views this site as a "childhood pastime" that he thinks is too childish to endulge, anymore. But his ad revenue check probably still comes in. At it's peak, this site made quite a bit of ad revenue.

At it's peak...wait for it.

IT WAS IN THE TOP 100 SITES ON THE INTERNET. I'm not f*cking kidding. When I originally looked up to purchase this site, it was like #97 on the list of most visited sites on the internet. When I made my original offer of $27K for this site, PVS mocked me for way way too high of an offer. But since it was in the top 100 sites on the internet, that offer was likely a low-ball. But PVS was likely correct that it was too high of a figure since visit and hit traffic was likely declining or soon to rapidly decline.

As far as unique search results, there are some very unique discussions on this site that are not found anywhere else related to comic books and movies. Seriously, I've googled certain topics and we are the only relevant search result, showing up at the top of that list. That's because we are nerdy losers who talk about niche stuff in niche ways making us unique on the internet. SpaceBattles used to also be up there with us, for example.

Anyway, Raz probably makes good money at his day job especially if he does consulting or dev work. Based on the limited convos I've had with him, he likely does dev work or DB work. Good DB admins easily make 6 figures, even in pound sterling.

I do remember years ago reading articles from the main KMC site. I just went over there now and the latest stuff is from 2012 lol.

So basically everybody just abandoned this place? Why?

Man this place is so much better without the viruses here.

I am sure the Vast Proceeds of this site got towards buying Raz a Overpriced Crap Cafe Coffee every once in a great while.

Raz does NOT Give Two Phucks about this Site.

People need to come to grips with that reality.

And why did this fail and yet CBR is doing fine. I just popped over there.

CBR is NOT Fine! It is in Full On SJW Dumpster Fire Mode! It just has the benefit of a Much Larger Shit Head Fan Base and actual Money backing it up.

The Mods there Actually make Badaboob and the Rest look like Rational Individuals.

I would say that all direct and indirect reasons tie back to Raz just abandoning the site. No leader, the "sub-leaders" slowly dwindle away. No sub-leaders to update content and moderate the site, people lose interest and new "content" hits no longer draw in members.

It's why I tried to purchase it all those years ago, the first time around, because I saw potential but Raz wasn't doing shit.

Raz is above petty concepts like money.

Raz is Some Posters version of "GOD".... which explains how Sad some of our Posters are.

I seem to remember the “main site” was owned by someone other than Raz. And Raz just owned the forum aspect. Don’t know if that’s still accurate or not. Someone named Zed used to own and operate the main page with articles and what not. But he became inactive before Raz did.

But yes ddm is right. Years back this site was in the top 100 on the Internet. This was around the time of the matrix sequels coming out. And the matrix forum was one of the top search results when someone would google the matrix. That as you can guess brought in a ton of users. There was a time when the matrix forum was one of the most popular on this forum for that very reason

I do enjoy how Stiltman goes around and Grave Thread Digs up some nearly 2 Decade Posts just so he can pretend that Raz is still Here!!!
