But if you owned this board trust me, no $20k account is a piss in the ocean.

Someone already posted it.... it's all about $$$.
The problem is that it's most likely costing ICS/Playboy many times that, in loss of sales. I believe their primary business is selling content on a subscription-based model, be it print or electronic format, not running a fucking board.
