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.

I respectfully disagree. In addition to hardware maintenance, software maintenance, utility bills, etc... you need round-the-clock moderators, tech support, and probably the occasional legal retainer bills, etc.
If I were putting together a business plan to stand up a brand new conservative forum web site to replace FR, 90K/qtr would seem like a 'lowball' number to me.

JimRob and JohnRob (at least halftime), at a minimum, make their living here. Are you including 1.5 staffers, full time pay, in your calculations? Are you also including the various legal fees from people and organizations who sue for harassment purposes?
