How much are you currently spending on your forum, including the basic details such as a domain, webhost pricing and advertising here there and everywhere? I spent $1.99 () on a domain, $5 on a A Small Orange webhost space, $145 on VBSEO, $85 on vBulletin Leased License, $20 SkyBlue.

Absolutely zip Free web host, free forum host, no domain but web host provides a good gateway, lots of hard work for link exchanges for advertising. Of course, that doesn't take into account the time I spend running it

If time accounted for money i am sure we would be in millions of dollars worth of debt

None at all, in fact. I've been thinking off and on about making a site, and getting a domain. You think it'd be worth it, Mike? I seem to have a black cloud over my head when it comes to making my own sites.

It is always worth making a site, they can be so dirt cheap these days that reaking the rewards can make you alot of money.

Currently I've spent nothing at all on anything online, I plan to do so in the future though, don't know when, but sometime.

Nothing for now... I won't spend money on a forum I'm not sure of results... If it works out in the end then I'll start spending.
