I know £15k is chicken s**t but that's only for 1000 users.. I rekon rhp has 3000 subs
theres over 7000 users here.. I think it would be safe to say 3000 of them are subs..I havn't counted
I suppose you know all the associated expenditure as well? Would you mind letting us less knowledgable people know the cost of having the servers located in america, the cost for bandwidth, marketing, credit card transaction costs.
And remember that subscribers pay annually the same amount that they signed up with initially. So, only recent subscribers pay €30. Older subs pay as little as nothing.
Your talents are wasted as a fluffer, or whatever it is that you claim to do.

But yet here it is.

Numbers for co-location are less than $100 per month if you're using someone else's bandwidth. A fractional T1 would also do the job. My father has about 12 servers hosted on a T1 and I can tell you how much that costs him per month.

How much money do you make a year? 🙄
actually I'm just out of High School and not working full-time yet.
If he wishes to comment, he will disclose what he wants. I didn't say "HOW MUCH DO YOU MAKE ON THE SITE??" I simply informed him of this thread and the curiosity of how effective the the paying is.
ok lets just say this site cost an insane amount like £15,000 per year to run. RHP has over 8000 users.. I said 7000 in last post but since then have looked and its over 8000 now. I'm guessing at least 3000 of them are subs.. there isn't a page on the players tables I could randomly click and not see a sub. Anyway with 3000 people paying $29.99 = $89970 thats £50,125.3 GBP not bad i'd say.. of course theres other expenses like tax & national insurence.. but still not bad for only having to put up with your banter. 😉
Originally posted by UmbrageOfSnowMy apologies, But I am not interested in how much this site (owners) makes.
What, asking Russ seems to be the easiest way to solve this arguement, why speculate when you can find out for sure.
Good luck to them.
How many clicks on the adverts would it take to match a months subscription, was the question, not the contents of the owners cat and its backside (this last part is for UK viewers only 🙂🙂
Dont make me bring out the magic tea!!!
