Vendor fees are usually used to maintain this site. The admin checks and updates this site frequently. Also this much traffic requires more money from the servers... They are putting it to good use!

It costs about $10 a month to run this site. The rest of the money goes to pay for my Enzo lease. I'm thinking of adding a Zonda end of the year.

not to mention the mods get kickbacks from that as well to help with our Porsche payments.

LOL. Considering the slowness issues we were having before everything was upgraded, I have a feeling it costs a decent amount to run this site every month.

Oh yeah, and the left over money goes to me, because I have dirt on all the mods...

To bring a serious note to the conversation ... besides FaceYogurt's Enzo, the admins have spent a lot of money out-of-pocket on this site. Yes, the vendors are bringing us back to kilter; they help keep us afloat , and we thank them greatly! Factor in the time spent on making sure this dedicated server stays running, and *wizbang*, I'm nearly broke. I can only afford a lease on a Carrera GT.

you are one of the last people I'd want on here as a mod! Most of your posts here do not contribute to the knowledge on the forums.

back to the topic at hand: Are we getting our kick back checks on the 15th or do we have to wait till the beginning of each month?
