How Does Buffettnews.com Keep It's Forum Up and Running

I'm on this other forum and they have a suggestion box. I suggested a forum upgrade similar to the Buffettnews format. I'm not a "contributing member" meaning I don't pay them $30 a year so I can have "Contributing Member" under my name. I got pounded for not being a contributing member. So my questions is, how is this forum paid for? I imagine most of it comes from advertising and donations. Thanks!

I think it would be best answered by phjim, the board administrator, by you contacting him directly. I believe the rest of us could only speculate.

I've heard he scalps Jimmy Buffett tickets and uses the profit to fund this site!

I heard his Dad was rich and he spends all his time just p*ssing away Daddy's money

Yes Tiki, this is speculation

Well, he collects bottles with deposit stamps. Then, on Mother's Day, he and friend who works for the Post Office use an extra mail truck to take them to Michigan, where they get 10 cents for each one.

I also heard that, in return for un-banning him twice, Jim takes 25% of the profits from Shane's subway handjob business.

"A free truck? Oh boy, that completely changes our cost structure. Our G and A goes down fifty percent."

Apparently there may be a kickback from "Sarcasm-R-Us.com", for letting it's members hang out here!

Must have my sister try it out and tell me what a Wisconsin Louisiana Sweet Potato Pecan Pie tastes like.

BTW, in the South, we would never ruin either Sweet Potato Pie or Pecan Pie by combining them. We'd simply have a slice of each.
