FTR is owned by Eric, not gmml.
At least, last I heard, Eric was the original and current owner of FTR. I haven't actually had even email contact with Eric in years, though, so things could have changed since then.

gmml = givememyleg, for anyone who doesn't know who we're talking about.
He's the guy who does anything about what's posted in the FTR Announcements and Feedback forum (if anyone does anything). He's the guy who updates FTR's spam filter, too. Given the latter point, he's been active in the past years, but he rarely posts in the forums.


This site hasn't been profitable for a long, long time.

Eric never made FTR to be a profit stream. If it was, that's great. If he could employ some people in FTR's name, that's even greater.
It was never the point, though.

The point is and always was to create a community of people. So long as FTR is still a community, I suspect Eric will keep shelling out the moolah to keep it up and running.
I'd be shocked if it costs more than $5 a month to operate.


So here's a big thanks to both Eric and gmml for keeping this dinghy afloat.
