To start with, the freepathon is constant, it is once a quarter. Secondly they don't have money "pouring in" as you put it, thirdly just how much did you donate this time or at anytime in the past? I am a monthly donor, as we all should be.
You can't expect Jim and his brother to run this place on their own money. It is FREE to people who don't want to donate, judging from the intake and how long it takes each quarter to reach the goal most people DON'T donate but some of them sure like to complain about the service, just as if they were paying for it. I suggest if you don't like FR, to simply find some other site more to your likely, perhaps one that is even cheaper to attend than FR, maybe they will pay you to log on.
Lastly, there is no Webmaster only the owner of the site, Jim Robinson, a person I, and most other FReepers, greatly admire for putting this site up and keeping it running despite cry babies like yourself.
Unless we just got re-booted into an alternate universe, John is Jim's son.
