Honestly, I think the ccs forum crowd has a higher percentage of active, licensed racers posting to the forum than the wera forum does.  I don't know that to be fact, but after a few years of being on both sites, it seems to be my impression.

For simple, pure bullshitting and entertainment, I think the wera forum is fantastic.  and for racing knowledge I think either place will yield excellent results.  Mongo participates here, I participate there...  It's all good...

But Jeff, you don't have your index finger hovering over the 'BAN' button, ready to react in a nano second like Mongo does.   That adds an element of entertainment in itself.

because our level of ass-hat occupation is quite low in comparison... LOL... Not that that's a good or bad thing, it just is what it is...

If we had 50 more asshats stirring up shit that nobody liked, our traffic could be much higher and make me more in advertising revenue...  But such is life...

Hello,

First I would like to introduce myselves, I'm us.

I have never been one for controversy or public attention. Quite frankly, I hate posting on the spider trap.

My question is, how big is CCS compared to Wera member wise?

Why is their bbs so much more active?  I'm just curious.

Last question, why no classified ads?

You think Mongo makes money on the WERA BBS? I bet his bandwidth usage is pretty high.

I never suggested that he made/lost money.  That wasn't the point at all...

But to talk expense, sites are ass cheap to run if you do it right.  Bandwidth is unbelievably cheap, and while there's more traffic, there's a lot less graphic to the format of it so I doubt it's anything earth shattering. 

For perspective, last year I ran just over 2TB of data throughput between this site & cbr600rr.com.  Only around 200gb was in data/forum activity.  The rest was in Gallery hosting.  And I didn't go broke doing it...  Unless you're running HD video or porn with a LOT of traffic, you can cover pretty much anything/everything (including multiple sites) for around $500/yr.

Now, if you're paying people for development or moderation, etc?  Then the sky is the limit...

Thanks Guy.
