How does he afford that each month? What does he get in return?
Hehe I get nothing in return money wise, there is no advertising on this site. The money comes out of my own salary. I don't make any money on my other sites either (that has advertising) since the server costs are more than the income (some months I actually break even though it's been while since that has happened). Whoever told you I make money from this site or any other site for that matter is wrong, it's just an expensive hobby.
Anyway, was out partying with the boys last night so I'm a bit slow today. However, got a few more donations in, cheers guys.
As far as what's required for server upgrades it's going to be a bit more expensive monthly but I'll cover that.
Need about $130 for the initial hardware upgrades though.
I'll go get the license now and then I'll setup a test board we can play with a little.
The upgrade to Vbulletin 4 will be sometime next week, no point in doing that until the server is upgraded.
