well... i think that the ~700 members who are active feel its worth it... the rest probably just come here to ask about how to shave thier bawls.. the costs you imply would be bandwidth and hosting, and this forum database is probably large now.. but for a forum, it wouldnt bee too much for a whole site... what im trying to say is, the reason it costs alot would be all the bandwidth.. thats the bandwidth from about 700 members... imagine the bandwidth fees if you had 31 thousand people actively posting and viewing and all that :P, anyways... i dont use the titty board or any of that... i mean there are ALOT of good posts out there.. and some strange ones... so people must find it useful
.... people probable also enjoy the journals...
