Read: http://forums.white-wolf.com/viewtopic.php?t=19615&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 Then consider: Now, granted the Phoenyx doesn't charge anything (not even eyeball time; we pay the costs out of our own pockets, not via ads) and never will, but hypothetically, what if we'd gone the Meetup route and charged GMs for mailing lists/forums. What if the GMs (some of 'em, anyway) passed the hat to cover the charges? Would we fall under the "conventions" loophole since I suppose our hypothetical fee would be the same no matter what game you ran? I mean, I can appreciate WW wanting to license all the bootleg for-profit LARPs out there, but this seems a bit like... well, like Meetup's ongoing(?) faux pas.
