I thought you'll earn like $0.10 for every click on the ads, right? I read it in your website... ;)

Not really. I can tell you however that hosting for a site like this costs somewhere around $200-$300 a month.

That's what hosting would cost for a site like this. What you earn with ads is another thing.

I see... Wow! You've made a huge commitment to NFS! Is there anybody else that helps you to contribute or is it just yourself paying for the whole thing?

I see... Now that's a relief... But what do you pay for usually with the expenses you mentioned above?

Well, when (if) I go on my own, that's what hosting this site will cost.

So you pay for runnning a PHP database... Not to mention with as much that goes on here, i could see why its so expensive. I guess Ads help make up for that price? :?

If I'm not mistaken, the database is included by Edge, I can still remember I read it from Bojan's website... Not sure if he'll allow me to distribute freely though... :?

The database is MySQL, and no, hosting is free. I'm just saying that with a site with as much traffic and diskspace, there's no other way but to rent a dedicated server and ded server prices start at $200-$300.

Guys, want to get rid of ads on this site for free???

1) Download Mozilla Firefox
2) Then go to the plugins site
3) Download 'Nuke Anything'
4) When a new add comes up, right click and click nuke this permanently
5) Eventually, you won't see any annoying ads ever again... (took me about 1 week)

Use a pop-up stopper. It really helps a lot, and I'm using it right now. :)
