I was enjoying that thread as it sort of showed that even a big forum can be run by a couple of peeps in their bedroom. It was also a bit of an eye opener just how much they were being charged in order to make more than 20 posts a month
And then you read it's a "business" and it all becomes erily clear that it's all about the benjamins disguised as a forum. And yes I know they are all businesses at the end of the day but you can run a forum on a shoestring budget.
I would have liked to read the thread but now it's gone you won have the chance
