Currently we have 0 people signed up for advertising on all our sites.
So the $100 a month we charge we are not getting anyway.
We get a few donations here and there but those mainly are on ToonTownCentral.
Google ads bring in a few dollars a day and do help.
P.S. our server costs a few hundred a month plus other fees.
The reason we pay so much is because we are paying for the speed of the server eg. how much ram, the CPU etc...
Forums use alot of computer resources and therefore any forum that has over 30 users on at any time will struggle to load the pages quickly on a free or shared server.
Our current server has Dual Opteron processors with 8gb ram and two 32gb scsi drives in raid config.
