I don't know if anyone thought about it, but since Matt is paying for 3 more ad slots, he could very easily have just used them for ads for his own games and still accomplished the goal of making sure TMS didn't lose money from Ruarc (sp?)'s decision to pull his ads.
The fact that he offered them to other non-commercial muds really does seem like generosity to me. I don't think he entertains any illusions of the general populace here deciding they like him simply because of that gesture.
It seems to be his belief, just as it is the belief of many other admins, that we all benefit from the general hobby of mudding improving and from more muds being successful.
Of course, now that I defended the action I will be labelled an IRE lap dog despite the fact that I am not associated with them in any way and earn no money from them in any way. But that's how it seems to work around here.
