I am not in this to make money, far from it.

The premise when placing the ads into the site has always been to cover costs, revenue from each of the different sites I run is logged per site so I have a very easy reckoning of the actual revenue streams.

I also know how much each site costs me to run through hosting percentages, bandwidth costs etc.

Once the Cobraclub site breaks even, any surplus will go back into the club, this has always been and always will be my aim. However in the mean time, I need to cover my direct costs or place the funds towards those costs. Some of my other sites are currently "propping up" this forum in terms of revenue.

I have no issue supporting the club as I have done for the last 9 years.

Well, I am going to try anyway. Two manufacturers approached so far are up for the scheme.
