For forums they are using one of the more common forum softwares and leasing that software for about $300-$800 a month. Servers another $100 or $200. Again built into the costs of all other products. This promotion does not equal $3000 in costs so don't even try saying that.

if you think the only costs in a business are the "obvious costs" you need to check again....take my business for example...we are pretty seasonal for 3/4 of my employees...during the winter I lay them off and in the spring they come back...they pay their normal taxes and I have to match those taxes for them to get unemployment for the 4-5 months they are laid off...so if they pay their costs but my company doesn't pay their costs well someone wont be happy when the first snow starts flying...

they are in it to make money...that's the whole reason for this website...if you think they created this forum to be just a fun place to hang out and shoot the breeze your sadly mistaken...it was created to draw attention to their website to sell boxes...

the same can be said for group breakers...a majority of them make decent money just breaking packs...are they scammers as well...

these promotions aren't to make money for the people entering them...its to have fun and follow a certain player and if that player does well you might hit a nice score out of it..and blowout made the promotion to make money..

your being to analytical about it, stop diving deep and pointing out the obvious...omg blowouts trying to make money off its customers they are scammers..no they are a business with paying customers...if the price was 5 dollars to enter I bet you would be first in line to buy as many as you could...does that make you a scammer? no it doesnt
