You miss the point entirely - the "losses" don't come out of GFY's pocket, but the loss of 20k or even 50k of advertising (plus the contest threads, etc) would have a serious effect on the bottom line of this place. A few of the bigger consistent sponsors head for the exit doors, and suddenly this isn't anywhere near as profitable a business as it was.
So instead, a few companies apparently have the ability to "make a call" and have super negative threads sent into the shitpile.
Thanks to Smokey for not letting it die. The powers that be at GFY might want to consider how delicate the balance is when you are on the peak of the mountain.
