I thought it'd be the other way around with new pages being added all the time (or I should say hopefully will be added if it does continue & I'm allowed to continue working on it under new leadership and I can finish building up the existing entries, there's been tech issues Marty's looking at over the last month so that's why no updates to it since then) so hopefully if nothing else if no one buys the whole thing that maybe the parts that take the most room could be shaved off to cut down costs as well? Just a thought for the new buyers I guess.

Most message boards are charged for page views. On Threadjackers where I usually post, the first 50K page views per month were free - after that is is $1.50 per 5000 page views per month...which doesn't sound like alot at first. But in one month we have almost 550K page views - or $150 a month just for page views. That does not include the bandwidth for avatars or signature pictures.
On this board, as at Seven Wonders, chit chat has the most current activity and page views....so it's easy to see why the monthly costs become staggering over time.
