For what it's worth... money is important to me, but it's not the MOST important thing to me by any means. When I put a bounty on my head in a tourney we have here, for example, that's not money I'm ever going to get back. Doing that isn't going to get significantly more people to use my affiliate links, etc. It's just fun.
If I end up making some money off this site in the long run, great. But that's not why I started it. I started it because I wanted to creat a great poker forum that was run properly. So far, so good.... now we just need more regulars.
As for money being the most important thing.... someday you'll realize it's not. To me, my freedom is priceless. And I don't mean "Go USA!" freedom - I mean not having a boss to report to. I put my time in. I did all that and made good money in the process. But eventually, I realized I was MUCH happier making less money but reporting to myself only. I work on what I want, when I want, etc. I have a more flexible schedule than anyone I know. To me, that's worth a lot of nickels.
