    How much does AO cost?

    I was wondering how much (per month) it costs AGD to keep AO up and running. Is AO eating into Tom's profits? Or does it bring in new buyers? Do the moderators get paid? Should there be a user's fee to offset the cost?

    Well if they have unlimited bandwidth it wouldn't be to much. But if not the way they have the board set up, it's probably costing a ton.

      We think of it as our advertising budget. I think of it as my own personal AOrmy!

              Speaking of AO Army, are you (TK and CPhilip) still planning to attend the North/South scenario in Maryland next weekend?

                The Tech forum probably saves them alot of money in repairs as well.

                  I was up until two weeks ago.... but... the kids overnight orientation visit to the Citadel was rescheduled to then. In Charelston SC. He... and we (parents) have to be there. It's the Pre Knob visit and it's the last one he can attend. They canceled the one we were supposed to be at and rescheduled it for that weekend. So we could not possibly make it up there in time.

                  I am pretty sure Tom said he was going right?

                    Ah, bummer. But, hey, the Citadel. You must be very proud. Have a good time. We'll be sure to fill you in.

                          Bandwidth

                          If you want to save money on Bandwidth go to www.ipowerweb.com. For 7 bucks you get 40gigs of it.

                            I just hosted a file for a guy on PBN and went through 8GB in a day. Plus he probably has a 10GB+ of stuff sitting on the server. For sites this big you need a colocation or a dedicated server they provide.
