I recognise you're never ending optimistic side
LOL, it is not that. I just say it as i see it.
Truth is, i doubt will be enough to cover server expenses (3 years ago was $500/month just for server), contests, staff.
EMS active users is really low now, most people there would not pay to be able to post on buy/sell thread, they would not pay for a membership with X benefts, etc
Also i know for talking with North, most of these things is things he would never does, cause he doesnt want to have 2 types of users in the forum.
He could put AdHitz (or other network) ads on thus blogs people has, but this is something he is also against.
So, basically relaying only on banner ads, i cant see them make the necessary money.
