Domain/server are the most costly. We also pay for game servers and other stuff. Most costs supported by upgrades/donations. I supplement when needed.

Do you think sinister.ly will ever run ads? I ask this because I know that other major forums - such as mpgh- run ads

Oni could but, would be annoying unless making it for non donators.

Unless you are upgraded then there is a small banner type ad - but it is not annoying at all. In fact, i barely notice it. I think @Oni has done a great job with this forum keeping the balance between practicality and aesthetics.

We do run ads. Upgraded members don't see them (except prior to logging in), as others have said.
