Why do you hire so many Filipinos?
Well, first of all, my wife is a Filipina, so I have a lot of connections with that country. I also operate another website that is dedicated to the Philippines, and because of that, I meet a lot of qualified people looking for work. And, lastly, I hope to retire to the Philippines some day and continue business operations there.
Are your Filipino editors paid a fair wage?
Absolutely! But if you doubt me, just ask them.
Shouldn't you hire wargamers?
It doesn't require a wargaming background to format text, process graphics, update databases, or to do most of the work of running a website. However, all of our workers are required to learn more about the hobby.
Is it true that some of your workers are transgender?
In 2014, another website "outed" several of our staff members against their will. Our policy is to not disclose the private information of our staff members.
