Just be realistic here ... no gazzilion bucks answers. ;)

How much would you be really willing to spend to keep it up?

OBS: Not just system operational costs, but to have it still reviewing stuff, having up-to-date news and more ...
UPDATE: Added two new answers to the poll ... vote goddamit ;):p

Operational costs nothing more... so we cover that..
I am sure most people will pitch in majorly for the forums including me..
I normally dont visit the main site, but do drop by once a week.

Edit:
Oops.. forgot to add in the donation.. $20/mo.. should be fine..

Hell, I'd give $10-15/mo. easy, maybe more. This place is home when I'm away on business, and that's quite alot.

Heh, who am I kidding. This place is home anytime I'm on-line.

Now THAT's quite alot:D!!!

$20 a month would be a small price to pay, considering the amount of time I spend here.

Well if you think about all the tech support costs you save by coming here, I think $10-$20 a month isn't bad... CLICK ON THE BANNERS hehehe...

A-men that dcdomain, I've gotten skads of good tech support here. I'm sure there are others that can attest to that claim too.

Naspter started asking people how much they'd pay for their service...and now they're gonna start charging this summer

Wonder if Anantech is gonna do the same :Q:(;)
 

I dont think I would pay an equivalent amount for anandtech as I would for my cable service.
Its my most hit site, but not worth that much.
I say a yearly cost would be more realistic.
20-50 a year for a kick @ss BBS and info page would be fair.

Since I spend 99% of my time in the forums here, if they were to keep the forums alive I could contribute $10 per month but I'd expect the moderators to, oh nevermind :D

paruhd0x...

The US is actually the minority when it comes to using periods for our decimal points. Many countries use the exact opposite we do.

For example:

Us: $1,549,238.63
Them: $1.549.238,63

I'd prositute myself for anand

Which isn't saying a lot, considering he does for everyone else too.

The problem is, I might be willing to pay but I'd be in the minority. Most of you certainly would not. Therefore the boards and other valuable content will either dissappear immediately or deteriorate over time. Still if enough adults tossed in a few pennies...who knows?
