Andrea launches a fund-raiser to save the elms

[Chris_]

Illuminate me, sir; of course, one can only speculate, but speculate, please.

I just paid the monthly fee of $9.95, nothing else.

Would there have been "start-up" costs I wasn't aware of, that the two members of democraticunderground paid when the site first got underway?  They started it up, and had it for a month and a half when the scammers were getting hot on their trails, and so I just took over the monthly rental payments, nothing more.

If it was the most basic type of web site with the forum software already installed and shared hosting, then no.  They pay for the entire thing as a package and the hosting company hands them the keys to the front door.  All they have to do is create forum boards and start posting away.

Remember she always complains about stalkers.  Probably spent the elmers' money on protection from freepers and people she's kicked out of the tree house.

She could run OET on a shared server for $5.00 a month. Its traffic inst meaningful enough to justify anything more than that.
