I wonder what this actually means to the customer like me? And please don't let this become a deucescracked vs CR vs stoxtrader vs ..... thread.

your subscription fees will be going up?

Shouldn't you include leggo in the list of sites we aren't supposed to compare cr to?

No more doomswitch for all cr members?

That might be worth signing up for in it itself.

I never knew LEE JONES had left, my cursing him has been in vain.

I don't get it. Are these sites really bringing in that much bling?

thank you, I was thinking this earlier when I read it on 2+2

how in the world does CR afford to pay a guy with his background?

Let's go out on a limb and say 1000 people a year will join their site at an average $200 a pop, that's $200,000 in revenues. They employ a marketing director, Lee Jones, an office assistant and I assume several website designers/technicians. I don't get it. There are like 6-8 main pros I think (going off of the Full Tilt/Card Runners relationship). Seems like it'd be hard to make any dough individually.

i dont really know how they do it, but i bet they easily bring in 1/2 mill per year.

Lets say 10,000 members paying $25/month (or whatever it is at the moment). That's alone $250,000 revenue a month with little overheads. I think its pretty much a cash cow.

[bigspenda73]

how can you assume 10,000 members though?

[bigspenda73]

right but they don't have 10k active paying members

[jyms]

There are 18 pages x 50 blogs alone. Most of these have been at least updated since last Oct.

Also, don't forget about advertising + affiliate revenue.

Still, how big can they really grow?

with lee jones at the helm, I'm sure they will branch out and become huge!
