I feel like I used to know this, but I have since forgotten.

Who pays the bills? Where do the funds come from?

I was mainly thinking about it because there is such an enormous wealth of information here, I'd like to know what is keeping the server\forums running.

Now for some blitting from the back buffer.

Think the owner pays the bills. (admin)

Maybe just have a regular job near it.. So he pays the host or electric bill.?

~ At least it can do black and white~

By the tears of those we ban.

🤣

I guess that's sufficient?

Anyway, I was just curious. Not having ads, "premium" memberships or constant requests for donations is unusual these days... But definitely a good thing. 🙂

Vogons probably has some kind of contingency plan, but I've seen several great forums with decades of information seemingly vanish overnight either because of a lack of funding to keep it operating or because something happened to the person who pays the bills, and no one else had access to take over.
