If I remember correctly, someone claimed that the Gm's made/operate this game out of their plain meaness. So I guess they get satisfaction from banning innoncent people, just out of spite naturally.
Watch out, they are coming for you!
Well, I suppose that they concider this as a nice hobby, they get.. Bunch of useless emails and lot of work. (Sorry Bror!)

I read somewhere that they started this as a computer science project for a college course. And any time you start something of this magnitude it becomes your child in a sense. People don't take care of their children because they will "get something out of it." They do it out of love for their children.
So I think the GMs do it out of love for the game "their child."
Just my opinion, but I think we should let them answer for themselves.

We don't get any reward. Not for being GM, not for programing, not for having ideas, not for creating music, not for painting graphics, not for deleting stupid postings.

Hey Maktan, why not ask yourself the same question?
WHY do you play?
The answer you give yourself must be the answer you seek my young apprentice.

The "c" obviously stands for a "C", which happens to mean "Christopher".
I do all the work because I am some kind of demon: I drain my life energy from people which I made angry before. This is why I am always so mean. Illarion is the ideal place to find "food".
