Jim said a couple thousand people give $30 a quarter. Thats $60,000 which isn’t much to keep servers and bandwidth running.

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.
