Thank you for your input. No we do not pay HF to put our stuff up here we promote the boards to our readers and listeners in exchange for the ability to post here. It is not pay per post but something much simpler which is intended to drive traffic here and help provide content it also benifits us because we get more readers.
I did not start the site with hopes of being DGB or anyone eles I own a bar, a film / podcast studio and have little desire to monitize my site.. This is proved by the fact that there is not one add anywhere on the site and all expenses are paid out of pocket. I think we are probably one of the only sites that has never had an add on it. The writers make nothing and are part of the site because they like to write or they hope to become journalist one day and this is a great way to cut their teeth reporting on something they love. Sorry to disappoint but the whole money making thing holds no water.
The site was started because the Leafs really sucked a few years back and we were getting waffled. My dad got a brain tumour and I just had my second son. I was pissed that my dad might die and I would not have the chance to sit with him and my boys and watch a playoff game. A tradition we should all experience. I had had enough and started
www.wewantacup.com as a blog page. I never mentioned my father but the site took off and slowly some writers came on board and we grew. Nothing terrible nothing underhanded just a couple fans standing up. I'm writing from my phone please excuse the extra crappy grammar I guess you can see why I need writers
again thank you very much we will keep at it.
Here is one of my first blogs so you get a feel of what we were about
