As far as why they don't invest in improvements, it's safe to assume that they have been making more and more money since the game started. People tend to not want to change a lot when things are going well. Sure you can say that if they don't fix things, they will fall at some point but maybe they won't and until it happens I don't know if I would make major investments either.
IF it aint broke, dont fix it? Thats your method? Very short-sighted in this day and age.

Put some numbers up here if you dont agree with the current ones. That is what this thread is for. I would not think that they have to employ many people to run a site like this. 1 or 2 programmers once the site is up, Someone with DB backup and recovery, and a few owners to cough up some money. Really, I have helped create a site for a mediation company for online mediation. There were3 of us programming, and one of us was organizing and planning.

That is not to say that there are only 3-4 people running Nordeus, but I would hazard a guess that it is far less than 10.
Another person for email support, but they can all provide support for the most part. A site like this can run itself. Everyone has multiple roles if they are smart enough.
