How much does this site cost to run?
« on: December 10, 2008, 12:17:02 PM »
I am curious how much it costs to run the forums and site.  How much of it is paid through member donation, sales of merchandise, out of Glenn's pocket, etc.?

I love this site and spend more time on it than anywhere else on-line, and I know I haven't seen any threads asking for money.  I also know that nothing in the world is free for everybody, so I was just wondering who pays for it. 

I sent a PM to Glenn asking him this, but I figured other people might want to know this info as well (and it might spur some donating ;))

Sorry if this is in the wrong section.  I wasn't sure if it would qualify as "feedback."

And following on from Sams 'Donations' post (har har), perhaps "t'is the Season to be jolly" and time for us all to make a small contribution to help maintain this great site.

Done.

That was my line of thinking as well (contributing some cash, not donating, well, um, er, you know, ala Sam.) ;) ;D ;D ;D

I donate the same amount here as it costs to join the VJMC, this year $30. Not much at all seeing as how, and like was said, I enjoy a lot of time here.

Not much but if those that can, do, it should help alongside the other avenues.
