This Fazle dude of offtopic.com has way too much money.

He pays for the entire site by himself. Recently he has been experimenting with banner ads, and charging newbies for avatars and registeration. But he is still paying around 80% himself. And we are talking about $2000/month, enough to meet the montly payment of a very nice car.

There is so much mystery about this guy. Even though I joined that forum a long time ago, I wasn't very involved then. Seems like he has a sys admin type job, and drives a very nice looking Acura something. Other than that only some posters know how he really pays for it.
 
The rule #1 of offtopic is not to talk about offtopic

It figures you would break the rule. Now Fazle's going to get all the gang from vice city to fit you with a new pair of cement loafers. 😛

You can't run a site with 600 users active at once off of a shared hosting account. This site needs serveral servers to run it, plus a few experienced server admins to manage everything.
