Nothing, all the money goes to paying for costs and is saved for projects. I have a lot of ideas that I'd like to implement but it's difficult to handle myself and gone are the days when we had 10 regular contributors in the writing/content team.

Advertising revenue is down nearly 50% during Covid, and the site is actually losing money at the moment. Hence why we need the server move to reduce costs. It isn't cheap to host a site of this size and it's important the site is sustainable.

And would you ever pay our mods for their work

Definitely would like to one-day. Given we're in an era where Facebook, Twitter, etc have taken over for cricket discussion it's unlikely but you never know.

James, can we have PMs or would that be extra costs?

We discussed that amongst the mod-team a few weeks back actually.

I don't see why we couldn't bring it back, but it would be limited to people with a certain number of posts to avoid the spam-bots.

Once the server move is completed and settled, I think we could enable PMs.

James I do my best work in OT between 10 and midnight on a Friday night. You've really made a mistake stopping it from happening this week :ph34r:
