Title: Forum profits and expenses
Post by: criptix on December 10, 2017, 10:17:56 AM
Hey guys,

is there public information about that?
I know theymos auctions up to 9 adspaces for around 30-40k $ per month right?
There exist forum donations.
Something else?

Expenses would be webserver, cloudflare, mods and admins.
How much does this costs per month?


Does the forum make profit? Is it possible to get more paid mods/patrollers in the case theymos doesnt change anything about spammers?

I believe theymos has posted the info before in previous years and I think somebody else requested it (maybe redsn0w) within the last year or so (and I think theymos may have said he will release it once all the accounting is done (though don't quote me on that)). I also would like to know how much the forum takes in and actually profits on.

Mods are paid around ten to twelve thousand usd a month (divided between all active mods).

Mods are usually added as and when needed. I wouldn't be against promoting one or two of the top active reporters but I think a better solution first would be to distribute some of the workload between current staff (though that can be done in addition to making new mods).
