I don’t know if there is some rule about not flaming on sponsors, but… I’m too lazy to check it out anyways. So, mods, if this post goes too far, just wipe it, :).
I noticed the new sponsor on the Kirupa homepage and decided to take a look at it. Money making with Flash? I’m in! Well, that was my first thought, till I looked further.
What does Kizash do:
They get good content from innocent Flash developpers, advertize it and then sell it ‘for the developper’.
So far so good and easy for those without their own website or no knowledge on how to sell their stuff themselves. But then…
50% (that’s half) of the profit goes to Kizash. That’s half of the price your Flash content is sold for (most likely minus all costs Kizash made to sell it).
Okay, if you need cash fast, this is an easy way and you probably wouldn’t care about that half too much.
We go one step further:
Pyramid system! The well know lure-someone-in-and-get-part-of-their-profit!
This type of stuff is forbidden in several countries and for good reasons. It is one more reason for me to say no.
I don’t think Kizash is such a wise choice as a sponsor. Of course, they pay as much as the others for their banner there, but… it doesn’t look like what Kirupa is based on for me.
I think Kirupa means helping each other with various things (especially Flash), not purge some money out of other people’s work. Paid work is great, don’t get me wrong. Noah, the fonts site, the light weightcomponents,… but they earn money on things they made or made for them.
Just my rant here, 
Don’t mind it too much. But if you do and want my advice, don’t go to Kizash to sell your stuff, 
:look: And now Kirupa comes to kill me for trying to flame one of his sponsors… screams
