Yes their forums are MIA, they are normally back up in a few days or so.

I swear. That has GOT to be the WORST hosting job I have seen for a forum.

Sorry if I'm affending anyone here, but shit, it's the truth.

To be fair they get huge amounts of hits. Just look at the downtime FN has had amongst other sites, and that is dwarfed by Sharereactor.

I bet it's hard getting a stable server that supports that many hits at an affordable price and wants to host a site of that nature. That's why it's hosted on their own server, which means it's costs a lot to run.

that's true.

But you think they would have mastered it by now?

i am full member of one w forum in russian part of runet
we have about 30000 users. so every month traffic cost about 250$
and yet i know 2 forums with about 100000 members.. i really dont want to know what they pay. lol

WHY would anybody want to deal with that kind of shit?

They may be rich, but hell. What a headache it must be.

eh, maybe they make a few bucks with the ads,(though i have a few shady theories on subsidized costs) but i couldnt see how they break even, much less catch a profit. i see em always asking for donations of equipment and webspaces.
but, hell, i dont know why anybody does anything.

usually admins and mods pay.
and if u have SITE (u have page with some stuff, not only forum) with forum..
and u get about 30000-40000 clicks per day u can sell some banner space... :-/ 1500-2000$ in month for one big banner..
so sometime they earn a lot of money.. :-/

Strange, so why has SR no banners?

well.
at first, what is SR? forum (less money)? which one? warez?
well, in russia warez sites r kinda popular and they can get money for banner.. like example from internet shor or shit like that..
in other world - i really dunno. will ebay buy bunner even on very well visited site if that site is with illegal content. in russia - yes.
in russia u can buy any software CD or movie or game or even DVD for 2-4$. everywhere. it's not legal but nobody gives a fuck.
in my univercity where i studied was big shop with warez CD's.. (not russia but close to her).
so in that case only one way - porn banners, or penis erlagement.
hehe. it's clear why they dont want such "banners"

or simple - they have no management. or sucky one.
dunno.
i was in close relationships with russian warez sites. and i know that 2000$ in month for banner on well visited site is normal price.
u have 30000-50000 clicks in day - u got it.

It's back up now.

Well, in that "have-to-refresh-3-or-4-times-to-get-access-to-a-page-cuz-it-keeps-failing-to-load" kind of way we all know and love.
