If they took money for "ecosystem services" and the main Godot forum operator has been paying out of pocket without recompense after the raise, they have reason to be angry.

If, after money being raised like this, no one gives them money to pay for the forum (including all previous expenses) which they have been running out of pocket and provides a core service to the community, they should shut down the forum and delete the posts.

Agreed. The foundation should absolutely be paying those costs, and take that off the shoulders of this long suffering and burned out individual contributor.

> the main Godot forum operator has been paying out of pocket without recompense after the raise,

My understanding is that this is a community-run forum. Nothing in the post suggests they are asking for money to run the forum.

Further:

> Juan is painting this picture that Godot is out of money and begging on social media, meanwhile with $8M in his wallet

That's a flat-out lie.

I don't know; there is no evidence presented, and what is presented in the post is inaccurate.

As of right now, I can safely assume this is someone who wants to cash in.
