In plain speak how much is needed per year to keep this up and running?

hard to put an exact price on it ATM, as the new host has scalable charges pending on our needs and pending the AUD/USD rate.

At the level we're on ATM, it works out at roughly $AUD220 per year.

At peak times we have the capacity to scale this further, but I would imagine that would only happen in Sept, or if another Barrygate happens.
I'm hoping to avoid the latter, but not the former.

But that doesn't include yearly charges like vBulletin maintenance, domain name charges, /whois protection etc ... Small amounts maybe, but still part of the whole.

I cannot imagine any redandwhiter NOT topping up with $25 per year. Cheapest fun of the season~!

Would like to send you a private e-mail, but the IT guru I am (not), I have no idea how to get one to you.

Cheers

Can you get "Grand Final Insurance"? Guaranteed to send usage skyrocketing.

Or just place a some judiciously chosen Sportsbet wagers - ie Final Four ($4.00), GF($12.00), Premiers($31.00).
