Note that I had nothing against you as CCT8 TD.
I will probably not participate but it has nothing to do with the question who
is the TD.

Note that I said that I do not care about the money problem of the hoster but it
does not mean that I want him to lose money.
It mainly means that I do not agree to pay money to support this site.

I believe that my posts cost the hoster more money than vasik's post so I have
problems with considering vasik as the bad guy here(if the reason is money that
the hoster lose from it).

If the target is to reduce the loss of the hoster then there are more productive
ideas how to do it like deleting more posts or posting links to games instead of
posting games.
