in reply to The AnimeFu Chick

I could be wrong, but I don't believe there is any money changing hands for that banner add.

The Everything Enging is developed by Vroom among other saints here. So for a while they were bouncing adds between here and Everything2. That certainly didn't cost anyone anything (for banner ads anyway) since the same people own both sites.

AnimeFu is owned by Commander Taco (of Slashdot) and Kurt The Pope. I don't know if they did any work on Everything, but my impression is these people are all good buddies, and are probably just being friendly.

This means that Perl Monks isn't making any money from banner ads, and is probably just a demo of the Everything Engine. Although I'm sure it would be nice if they could sell a few Banner Ads as well. ;)

This is all speculation of course; The closest I've been to any of these people is to see Vroom at in the Other Users box. ;)

    Taco did some work on the Engine way back in the day. He was there when nate came up with the original idea. Malda does some work on E2 now and then. He's not doing much programming now, leaving most of that to nate and darrick. vroom spends some time on it too.

    Kurt used to be Malda's roommate. He does some business stuff for EDC. They both put together Animefu as a sort of not-so-technical demonstration of what the Engine can do.

    Someone else (vroom's best friend Ron, I believe) has been working on an Everything-based ad server.

    Send Money.
