Ste, Colin, Phil (Zim) and Sangam have a quarter share each of ownership. The ad-revenue goes in to paying for the server and other costs, so no one makes any money (any profit just goes in to covering the months when the site is a bit down on visitors and earns less).Just out of interest, who actually owns this forum? Who gets the ad-revenue?
You've been around long enough to know I don't make conversation.So Matt how are things anyway?

Thanks Matthew.
So this site's a 'no profit/no loss' kind of a thing. If that's the case, I must acknowledge the the Admins/Staff members for doing such a wonderful job.
Well we aim to make a profit and I certainly wouldn't complain about being paid, but beyond making enough to cover costs it isn't the main objective for the site. If we were in it for the money the site would have died long ago.So this site's a 'no profit/no loss' kind of a thing.
He was against us moving away from shared hosting for exactly that reason.Pfft if Colin truly was a commie he'd cut us in on some of the action

The members make the site, good staff help, but without the active memberbase, there's nothing.
