Grr!

Yet again some idiot posted on another site that I am cheating you guys and gals by claiming the site costs hundreds of dollars a month to run. Not naming the site so as not to promote the stupidity any further. he claims that our host - Way3.com - only costs $12.50 a month, which is indeed their base shared hosting package. Of course, we could not run this forum on a basic shared account, let again the whole site with nearly 3 million hits a day worth of traffic. Below is a screenshot of our invoice page with Way3 showing what we have paid for the last two years.

This doesn't include domains, software, etc.. just the hosting.

I saw that idiot post that somewhere...but I can't for the life of me remember where I saw it. I almost replied to him calling him such.

Stupid people are stupid. Anyone with a brain knows that this place isn't cheap to run. I wouldn't worry about it.

[Sophie ♥]

^ Seconded. There's no way this site can run on 12.50. And even if it DID cost 12 bucks a month, I'd still have donated. Hell, DailyDi, you deserve some extra cash for all the effort you put in for us.

I say, let the idiots on other sites be idiots ... makes this one seem a lot better.

[aleyxsis]

This is a great site and i also can figure out it cannot be cheap to run !! .thank you for everthing !

[Guest Baby-Toa]

damn i need to donate more. that was a lot of money in two years.

[diamondback6881]

People are stupid. Just ignore them.

[abypk82]

Already been said but anyone who visits this site would realize that it would cost a lot more that 12 dollars a month...

[KittenAB]

One last thing to add ... just please don't add too much "stuff" to the site. >.< So many sites just fail to work right at all now because they keep trying to keep up with the Joneses.

[AutieAB]

Wait a minute? There's somebody out there who's simultaneously smart enough to be able to work out who hosts a given site and at the same time dumb enough to not know the difference between shared and dedi' hosting?

The word that springs to mind to describe said person is 'pillock'

[curiositykilledthecat]

If it keeps the idiots off of here then let them complain.

[sarah_ab]

ehhh just know DD, most of us don't even look at those sites, and those of us who do know that people who post shit like that are just jealous cause DD is clearly the best site around. I mean heck you spend all this time and energy to give us this place, so as was said, even if it did only cost $12 a month, you deserve the extra cash!!!

[KittenAB]

If I could afford to donate money, I would. Doesn't matter how much it costs to maintain this site, it would be worth it to keep it going.
