“In all honestly that’s a shit-load of money, we host for far, far cheaper, a fraction of the cost actually. It’s costing the FR almost a half mill to host per year? You can do the same for pennies on the dollar. “

You know not what you are talking about.

You can get an econo website for $20 a month. Those are seriously limited on bandwidth and capacity.

To support a high number of users and bandwidth you need dedicated servers and mega bandwidth. That is very expensive.

I could care less if Jim is getting rich off this. I don’t think he is but he deserves it for all the work he and others have put into FR.

I do know what I am talking about, we host with dedicated servers and we use SQL Server, we don’t have to pay the high prices of SQL Server, but get it’s amazing performance.

I am not from that company, we just use them, trust me, you don’t need 90K per quarter to host forums, even high volume ones.
