Enjoying their life?
Just curios, did theymos pay all the mods for their work or were they doing it as a voluntary job without any demand of money? If they were not getting paid, I think this could also be the reason why some of them left and got fired from their position.
I finally got the forum's 2013 taxes finished (after an extension).
Here's the final accounting summary for 2011-2013. All values are USD at transaction time because this makes the numbers more easy to understand, though the forum only holds BTC.
Income
Donations Ads
2011 3081 1545
2012 13291 21014
2013 42174 243233
Expenses
Infrastructure Development Mods Grants Tax
2011 213 0 0 0 109
2012 11 276 0 0 3973
2013 194 185751 81027 2802 15841
Here are the totals for 2014 up to now. These numbers are in BTC.
- Income: 522
- Expenses: 1505 (1257 Slickage, the rest mostly mods)
Also, 250 BTC was probably lost when treasurer paraipan died, unfortunately. Recovering that BTC is maybe still possible, but it's probably unlikely.
The forum currently has about 5568 BTC in reserve.
