In Response To: Somewhat related question… (kapowaz)


: If you don't mind answering such a question; just what scale of cost do you
: put into hosting the *.bungie.org sites? None of this stuff is free once
: it scales past a certain point, but I'm curious just how expensive it ends
: up being for the number of users HBO has (I actually know very little
: about the real scale of use; it seems relatively light compared to some
: gaming forums, but it's certainly non-trivial from what I can tell).

: It's worth restating at this point that we're obviously all very gratitude
: for you doing this out of your own pocket!

Cost has gone down considerably in the past few years - but it's still in 4 figures/year. (In 2003/4/5, it
was 5 figs/year.)

It could be done a lot cheaper, I think - but I'd lose some flexibility I like a lot.
