If not, would <i>you</i> donate money on a regular basis to keep the massive empire online?

Firstly: They're not running it out of their pocket if they're use ads. They're running it off advertising profits.
Secondly: I don't use their lame gamespy network, so why should I donate to it? <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.natural-selection.org/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->
Thirdly: I proliferated no "Gamespy-bashing" ;I was just simply stating facts (with minor opinionating adjectives). All of which, to me, present problems with how Gamespy runs it's website - besides it's hyperactive use of ads. <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.natural-selection.org/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif'><!--endemo-->
Fourthly: I presented a perfectly legitimate other source, which gives out the information with less hassle....and a shorter name to boot. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.natural-selection.org/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
Lastly: I'm sure the above stated opinions, and those in my first post, are concurrent in some respects to at least a couple forumites...probably those afore-mentioned "Gamespy-bashing" people. Their purpose is probably to educate people as to why they shouldn't use gamespy, and should seek alternate sources of informing themselves (despite the fact they don't always present another source - ie ign.com, Shacknews).

Just thought I'd point that out.
