Actually Brian is a bit wrong... based on the data I have, I'd have to shut down the site after 1,250 users joined due to lack of funds. The problem is that each new member increases the bandwidth used by the site by about two megabytes per day. Right now, my maximum bandwidth per month is 75 GB and we only use 20 of those gigabytes. At somewhere between 1,000 and 1,250 members, I'll start running out of bandwidth. Of course, we may not even make it to that number. Although, I also did not think I'd be contemplating having 300 users before April.
Anyways, I'm sure I would find some way to fund the site. Donations are one possibility, and so is a YWS store with T-shirts and such. I'll also probably apply for the Google Adsense program once the site hits about 500 users. I promise, though, never, ever to have anything besides text ads; anything else is just way too annoying.
Just to give everyone a heads up, there is now a "Monthly Predictions Contest" page in the Contests forum under the "Writing Activities" category. Details about the contest are explained there.
Take the site away from the search engines and it will just be us! Bawahahaha, no one will know we exist and also, you will still have any easy fund thing migjiggy.
