"Patient" is not quite the word that comes to mind.Unca Larry almost never posts and there hasn't been any moderation for about 5 years now. He doesn't need "patience" to put up with SubChat's bullshit because he almost never does. Each page has an ad. Each ad impression pays him something like $0.00025 or so. Multiply that by five people each viewing 400 pages for each of the two daily flamewars and Larry makes more than enough to cover the hosting costs. :D |

The KNOS homepage that comes with every copy provides about ten cents worth of advertising revenue each month. We have more "hits" than this place. :)Larry and his wife had their reasons for keeping this place lit, but not my place to say. (grin) |

That should just about cover his depreciation and cost of money on whatever computer he has. It doesn't pay for the high speed line he needs, higher than he would need for personal use only. It also pays him zero for his time spent repacking, etc. |

Us normal folk also count as hits. :) That should just about cover his depreciation and cost of money on whatever computer he has. It doesn't pay for the high speed line he needs, higher than he would need for personal use only. I'm pretty sure SubChat is hosted on commercial servers, not a computer in Larry's basement. The bandwidth is pretty low given that it's mostly just text so I'd suspect the hosting bill is under $183. |

On the other hand, it went down once exactly when there were severe storms in Monmouth County and the claim was made that it was cause and effect. Not proven but a definite indication that it's run out of his home.And even if it's run from a commercial server, Nilet's own math demonstrates that the profit motive is not a good reason to run this site. Imagine! He might be grossing $500 per year! |

I'm pretty sure SubChat is run on a commercial server in lower Manhattan; it was offline for weeks after Sandy and I'm pretty sure the location of the server was explicitly mentioned as a factor.$500 per year for virtually no effort is great profit— looking at total amounts rather than cost/benefit is a great way to nickel and dime yourself into the poorhouse. I make $500 per year with no effort through a wide variety of zany schemes. |

And there is definite effort involved. He has to repack the database quite a few times per year. And he has to read lots of emails from users. And he has to read posts to see if someone's conduct is so egregious that it deserves banishment. |

I think (pure speculation here) that he has "spies" that monitor this place & report directly to him in the event that someone gets so out of line here that getting tossed is necessary. That way he dosen't have to monitor these boards 24/7. Thats the way I'd work it if I was the "absentee" landlord here. |
