Do the owners of this site make money?

they do it just for a laugh

Seems like it would be a very time consuming laugh

just put a zero on the end of the number of "members" and consider that prob half of them are "upgraded members" and figure it out for your self ... there are over 15 K members listed in the directory ... the cheapest member ship is 10$ a month

Why do you give a fuck? Accept it for what it is to YOU. A reasonably loosely modded forum where we are allowed to generally show our asses, with not many questions asked. A site that is second to none for breaking news worldwide, and home to some of the craziest motherfuckers on the planet. In your case, all for free. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth.

do you really think anyone (mod, tech, lawyers etc) would put up with this much bull-shit on a daily basis if they weren't being paid WELL ? ... if you did, think again

Aint that the truth.

Calm down monkey fuck..I wasn't berating any one for making money...just simply thinking of ways I can make money on the side

Then the question you should be asking is how much does it COST to run a site like this!!!

You have to have a real love for it to put up with all the bullshit!! Im sure mods have palentyyy of stories. In all the years I've been here I've def seen some shit and they handled it extremely extremely well.

:money:

Hand over fist — with an emphasis on fist. The info is available if you know where to look.

Absolutely.

They probably rake in anywhere between $30,000 to $50,000 per month based on their daily visitors count.

But it also probably costs them anywhere between $10,000 to $15,000 month for servers/bandwidth/etc.

Way more. I do affiliate marketing and 1 million users alone is $15,000 to $30,000 and they pull that many viewers in a day. Seriously.

Not much compared to the amount they are making.

no

But besides membership fees who pays based on the number of visitors?? Who cuts those checks?

I ran a forum for a few years, its an insane amount of work with all the drama, updating, maintenance, etc.. I did enjoy it tho.

I didn't make money, it cost me to keep it running. I never had even close to the daily traffic that this site gets. You have to pick a good theme, then get visitors.

Affiliate marketing is a great business but only if you already have the hook ups and technology to get things done. I am a developer so I get off easily by being able to program the software myself. And then you have to be accepted into networks to run traffic to. Unless you want to go the shitty route and be paid per million viewers or paid per clicks by Yahoo or Google or of that sort.

WAY less than claimed.

Based on their ads it seems Vemba.com (they may be rotating, I disabled ad blocker to view one of their ads) is their ad network, which is who would be paying them for the ad views/clicks.

They should make money.
Making money is not a bad thing.
GLP is a public service to us in the woo-woo section of the population.

Obviously. This place started the internet. lol Where have you been?

Without the hard work of those in charge wtf would we do all day? They should be paid MORE.

According to this website GLP is worth 5.9 Million.

Daily income of 6,500+ with 440,000 views a day.

WoW. Says zerohedge is worth 76 million.

Nah, they make money with the Intel Inside chips

Well. I'm sure a couple of them make quite a bit reselling their EBT benefits.

Pretty close estimate.

Since their visitor count is publicly viewable, you can either double that (or quadruple since there visitors are almost 2,000,000 today).

here is a youtube of what I think the owners might look like...you can tell they are rich because of the Top Hat and Monocle.
