Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, . That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask Crazy, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then .

It's got to be getting close to covering the server costs. How much does it cost daily to run the server?

Your last payment was issued on Feb 21 for $334.50.

BUT...

That goes all the way back to the tiny ad revenue made earlier on by both MFU and my old guitar blog. That was either $40 or $60 worth of ad revenue.

The rest has been generated over about the past year.

Doing the math that way looks a bit different.

There's either a shootout with lots of different caliber weapons or there's someone setting off fireworks. I'm pretty sure today is not a holiday of import and I'm pretty sure setting them off in the city is illegal. They've been going off for a good solid 5 minutes. I can't see them, but I can hear them.

The balcony doors are open. It was almost 70° today.

Hope you survived the shoot out!

It's about there. I'm on VERY robust hosting, with great backups and features. It's about $3.33 a day. I've got a shitload of bandwidth and enough backup space to keep incremental backups two times over what the system naturally does.

However, I can't count on the ad revenue staying the same. So, we'll have to wait and see how that goes before jumping for joy.

So, it's about there. I could have much cheaper hosting and it'd cover the hosting costs - but I want the site to be available all the time and fast.

Sell your own ads for more revenue

I survived the fireworks/gun battle. I'm still not sure what it was.

And, nobody has approached the site asking to place ads. I should probably make a page inviting people to do so.

I have no fucking clue what to charge.
