Hey Guys,

So I was in the shower, thinking, when I realized,"wait, is anyone making money off of TIGsource?"    I mean who funds the stuff like TIGjams or even site hosting?   Do we get donations?

Also, while I'm asking stupid questions, (and trust me, this one is really stupid) who's the head of TIGsource?   I imagine they're on the forums, but I was never completely sure.

Answers plz?

There's a single google ad on the front page but I doubt that pays for it all. It probably comes out of Aquaria profits or something.

TIGsource is secretly funded by EA. EA also owns Sweden and Studio Pixel and is the origin (a.k.a. source) of independent gaming. That's the gaming truth.

TIGsource is like the Sherwood forest and Derek's our Robin Hood. He stole from the majors and gave to the indie!

Did I start that one? I can't remember anymore. If not I'm certain I helped spread it.

I'm pretty sure not. I think it was a guy in the front page who made a comment like "[...blah blah blah] TIGER Sauce (yes I actually read it like that!)[...]" Corny Laugh

Unfortunately I joined after the flaming pear left so I never got to know what he was like, so all I have to go on is that scary picture.
