How much do you lose every month while running your community? How come you don't think it'll be profitable for awhile?
It used to be one of my favorite admin forums until I found admin talk. Now, I rarely go on there.
I used to run vBulletin 4 on my community, but I switched to Xenforo a few months ago.
