Hey...so does this site make money for the moderators or something...i don't payto use it or anything but there are like, advertisments for this site in Shojo Beat and stuff so I was just wondering...

[Shanis]

my the site has some sponsors or something like that.. But you are right, I don´t see any advert here on this site, but there was an JF advert on youtube with 5 other sites so i got here^^ I hope they don´t arrears for making this site xD

Moderators get paid? That's news to me.

I think it was more of a question than factual


But seriously- who pays for the JF advertisements... And what need is there to pay to advertise when there is no income?


Who owns JF?

I have been asking that question for over a year, but no one here seems to know.

[Pexster]

Well this is different. (i would think they would advertise there sponsers too)

Who made you a mod, then?


I just imagine the owner of JF as a mysterious mafioso who is sitting in a smokey, leather-filled room.

I don't know who made me a mod...Shinjuku Eki, I suppose.

Is this sarcasm?


I find it hard to believe that no-one knows who owns JF/who pays for their advertisements.

I thought Kudo was the king of the hill?

Isnt JF owned by web-japan or somethin like that? So i guess they will have their own funding thought advertising or something?
