I don't imagine that it costs an extreme amount to run a forum/database, but since the DCM program exists, I imagine the ads are not enough revenue.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/325069/2067454.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/325069/2067454.page GMT Where does the money go?

Other than that, I might guess it goes to legoburner and Yakface, or to some new business plan they have stewing in a pot. Or their space program. Or their mission into challenger deep. Or their antarctic cave-digging project.


Seriously, how much money do you guys rake in monthly? I can only guess it's in the thousands. We had a discussion like this on another forum, and they talked about how they make like 400$ a day :O And they had less ads than dakka too. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/325069/2073257.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/325069/2073257.page GMT Where does the money go? WTF?? stuff. I wont try and single anything, but you all have seen them and know what I mean.

Maybe something that wont start a lot of butthurt...like making a WIP section that gets auto-deleted after a period of time. Anything not completed goes in there, gets deleted after 30 or 60 days, something like that.

Could also go with a rating based system...stuff thats consistently poorly rated gets deleted...but that may lead to whining and BS. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/325069/2073362.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/325069/2073362.page GMT Re:Where does the money go? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/325069/2073649.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/325069/2073649.page GMT Re:Where does the money go?

Yup. Unobtrusive ads is one of the reasons why this is my only whitelisted adblock site.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/325069/2084493.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/325069/2084493.page GMT Where does the money go?

We are doing fine for the moment but if we ever need more income then the next advert location will be on search engine referal. Basically, if you come to dakka using a search phrase on a search engine like google, there will be one more text advert in the page than usual on some pages, but it will not be visible to any registered member and is basically just there to cash in on people who come here by mistake and then immediately leave. Like I say though, that is only planned for the future if we need more cash for some crazy project or more powerful hardware. At the moment there are no plans to implement such a thing.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/325069/2084716.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/325069/2084716.page GMT Where does the money go?
