then multiply the two.

RV brings in at least a grand a month son. RB must bring in double or triple that.


so...why merge em?


this shit's all about money son. wake up from your dream world.

Actually, those image titan / mental funk ads don't bring in much for RV since we did an banner exchange type deal. The other ads we've ran were given away free for the people running the tournament/leagues where the sponsors put up prizes for the tourney. I'm just too lazy to bother looking for advertising since we are busy building and growing more sites. Maybe 5 to 10 years from now, I'll be making enough to move to an island somewhere and sit out on the beach all day.

I have no clue how much RB makes since the people running the forum gets to keep whatever revenue they bring in. I don't ask how much and don't really care. They probably got a pretty sweet deal since we even cover the costs of the server. Good thing servers are cheap since we manage them ourselves and we get discounts for having multiple servers with the host.

We can't really merge them back together anymore since we are running separate databases. If we do, one site's members are going to have to re-register and start all over from scratch. If you are new, you probably don't care, but people who have thousands of posts will probably be annoyed.
