Even if hosting is a G he is still making some nice coin. However for making this great site he deserves every penny and then some.
From pricing out hosting for a website for my firm, I can tell you that webhosting is likely a LOT more than a grand monthly if there are hundreds of gigs worth of transfers (which sounds like a modest estimate given the activity on the BBS).
You do realize, don't you, that any value this site has is the result of literally years of hard work without compensation. Having ads here is a very recent thing. All those years of hard work, simply because Clutch is a fan of our favorite NBA team (my favorite sports team, but I digress). You can't just create sites, turn around, and sell them off for that kind of profit. And what profit, really? If you give value to the hours Clutch (and Crew) have spent on this place, that figure doesn't cover but a fraction of what he deserves. This is different from simply creating turn-key websites on order for folks, which Clutch, Jeff and Rocketeer do now. (I think!) Interesting info, if accurate. I hope Clutch doesn't pay the least bit of attention to it and get any ideas we would definitely not like, such as selling this place. I can't imagine that, however.
LOL, I don't know anything about how much it costs to run a website, but something tells me that Clutch isn't exactly raking in the cash by running this one...
<div style="border: 1px solid #cccccc; background-color: white; width: 115px; text-align: center; padding: 0 0 10px 0;"><p style="margin: 0"><a href="http://www.websiteoutlook.com/"><img src="http://www.websiteoutlook.com/moneybanner.jpg" style="border:0;"></a><br /> <span style="font-size: 11px;">My site is worth <font color="green"><b>$168089.8</b></font>.</span><br /><span style="font-size: 10px;"><a href="http://www.websiteoutlook.com/">How much is yours worth?</a></span></p> </div> Just a hunch, but I think those figures are off a little.
Whoever believes this site is anywhere near accurate in any case doesn't have a clue...it's just a gimmick.
Clutch gets media passes, then radio shows... critical acclaim and now we find out he's raking in millions? Soon he'll rule the world.
$83,811.30 a year. Not a bad income for the site. Clutch deserves whatever he can make once he pays the bills.
I don't think Clutch is getting rich off this site. He does this because he loves the Rockets. He only has Google Ads because he couldn't afford to run this on the tip jar and out of pocket alone. He deserves to make more money for this though.
QFT Deck, I think you are right, it's my understanding rocketeer does freelance computer graphics for Two Roads. Since I'm not privy to what's going on with them, I don't know if he has joined them full-time
you guys that have donated to the "tip jar" must feel like a bunch of suckers! It's a privilege for clutch to have us browse his site, not the other say around...
I don't know how much, if anything clutch makes from the site. It's none of my business. I hope it's a lot -- but based on his absence from the luxury car and watch threads, I'm guessing it probably isn't. I do know it's the best sports and social site I've come across. And that thanks to him, the GARM on a bad day is better then any other sports forum, the hangout beats working, and even the dreaded D&D beats any political or news bbs. And I don't have to slog through too many ads, or pay a subscription fee if I don't want to. So I'm getting great value. Thanks Clutch!
Actually, you're wrong. It's a privilege for you to be allowed to post here, not a right. And if you keep making idiotic posts like this, I have a feeling you will lose that privilege soon enough. Those of us that donated to the tip jar didn't do so because we got suckered into it. We did so because we feel it's the least we could do to show Clutch some appreciation for the years of entertainment this site and bbs have given us.
That internet site estimates facebook to be under $400 million which is absolutely wrong. Microsoft paid $240 million for 1.6% of facebook and Myspace was sold for $580 million in 2005 to Newscorp. I really don't think facebook is worth what Microsoft thinks, but it's definitely a LOT more than $400 million, and most experts believe it's worth about $8-10 billion.
