    Out of Curiosity....

    To the "Admins" that run this site, is there any chance you can post to me here or via a PM, how much it costs to host and run this site?!

    Reason: I frequent another alternative news/bulletin board website that "begs" for "charity" handouts to help with "expenses" and wanted to do a comparative study!

    Thanks in Advance for any Info You can Provide!

                      A basic domain/hosted server from Godaddy can be had for around $10.00 for the first year. You can have a simple forum set up using their hosting options in less than an hour. After the first year I think it comes out to a little over $10.00 per month. Of course there are limitations to that such as bandwidth and web traffic but it's not much more expensive per month to add more storage or bandwidth.
                      If you are hosting the site yourself then you'd need the hardware/bandwidth to handle the traffic and such.
                      But you must always remember that the folks who put this together probably spend or have spent a good chunk of time and that time is worth something as well.
