I'm curious how does RIU stay running without advertising? I love this site, but as my dad would say "boy, ain't nuttin in life free". Same guy who said money doesn't grow on trees, which I proved wrong.. ;)

No but seriously this question has came up before and the only answer that I have heard is that @Uncle Buck 's brother or uncle pays for the site to stay running.

that could be for the basics,,,,and if your so smart,,why don't you answer ODanksta and tell him what it costs to run this site with no advertising

actually thats just for the license,,,,read on Hazy
Still Hole, this site costs a few grand a year. That is a basic forum price, could probably handle 25 members. Have an estimate on how many extra servers Rolli has to rent to make this place run as smoothly as it does? That is where a big chunk of change goes, and that ain't cheap.

I can tell you a private forum with less than a 100 members is over 1200, I can't even imagine what it is how big this place is.

First of all, why would you post a quote when odankstas question was who pays for it, not how much it costs, I was just pointing out you idiocy.
Second, I wouldn't give a shit if you guy's where blowing each other, let alone talk on the phone, what is that supposed to prove, he recruited you to keep up his little rouse as sheskunk like a little punk?
Dude yo soo funny.
