how much does your board make?
 
Hey guys, I'm just curious how much money you guys have generated with your forums. Me, a few hundred in the past year or so maybe. At least it's something.

Boofo 03-29-2003 07:35 AM

I've made absolutely nothing with the board. And I don't intend to. That is not why I put it up in the first place. ;)

Smoothie 03-29-2003 07:36 AM

My board makes me happy. :)

Tony G 03-29-2003 08:25 AM

Non-profit forum. :)

Shr3d 03-29-2003 10:40 AM

Non-profit either.

Still think about having ppl advertise on it when it grows bigger :)

Craigr 03-29-2003 11:12 AM

I didn't make a profit on my old site after purchasing webspace, etc, but i made about ?500 through Blackstar affiliate scheme. This helped pay for costs. :D

I make nothing at all - we only invest. We have sponsors to fund parts of our hosting bill and occasionally we invest in other projects :)

Nothing on either of my sites, i've spent $450 on my website nerdnations, and a year of hard work, and nothing at all :(

But sexualforums has an ad, only because everything but the domain is sponsored (he offered for the domain but i declined)

filburt1 03-29-2003 01:52 PM

My donations are all non-profit (made just enough (actually sans a few cents due to PayPal fees) to buy an owned license). But when I run ads they'll be for profit although their first use will be for keeping the site up and running and maybe going for contests, although I have many members offering rewards for WDF's upcoming first contest (one of the prizes is valued at $50).

N!ck 03-29-2003 04:10 PM

Oh, don't get me wrong. The money's going to be invested in t-shirts (many of which I'm going to lose money on, since I plan to do giveaways), and I haven't taken into account hosting OR the cost of my vBulletin license.

Xenon 03-29-2003 04:38 PM

hmm about -120DM = -60$ ;)

CJi 04-01-2003 10:21 PM

non-profit, but it takes in approx $600 USD a month which is plowed directly back into the services we provide.

Dan 04-01-2003 10:24 PM

I make no money what so ever......

EvilLS1 04-01-2003 10:46 PM

$0.00

I just run the site for fun.

Logician 04-02-2003 11:23 AM

non profit here.. all kind of advertisement including banner offers are rejected for more than 6 years.. pure, clean board that just eats my money.. :)

wooolF[RM] 04-02-2003 12:03 PM

same here... 16000 members and 0$... just got some donations with PayPal but those money will go on new vBB license + some skins probably...

Velocd 04-02-2003 12:23 PM

My forums are absolutely non-profit. I do have an ad banner on my home page, but nobody ever clicks on it. :cry:

VampireMan 04-02-2003 12:32 PM

about ?500 so far in donations/avertising fee's. I would say my site is non-profit , but to be exact it's a Not-For-Profit.

Any money that i get that goes beyond hosting fee/software costs goto charity, only just over 120 members so far as well :p

I started it for fun, but i cant afford all the fee's out of my own pocket. (Hosting is ?85 a month (dedicated server))
So it's not cheap :-(

Yep, same here... except the 6 years, more like 1.5 years here. ;)

Sweet Cheeks 04-02-2003 07:40 PM

Non-profit although I might start charging for image (sig) hosting

Six years! That's a really long time. V-Driveboat.com has existed in some form for six years as well, though. :)

Hornstar 09-16-2005 09:08 AM

Ic most are non profit, im also non profit, well negative profit right now lol.

But I have a premium section which people can join for premium content on my gaming site. I have got a few members, its only been up for a month now.

Plus i was making $300 a week on google ads, but i later found out members were over clicking them....and now no more google ads lol.

But i have other ads on my site now, and every 100 clicks you get about $6 but after warning all staff on my site, to not click more then once a day, im not making as much now, but It seems to be doing ok, looks like a profit will come in one day, but im not interested in one right now, just enjoying making the site, and trying to get it to number 1 gaming site one day.
