Rich from donations?

[007™]

anyone can make a good and quite accurate estimate:

ex. pisexy.org

VIP

VIP costs: 12.95 for 2 weeks then 8.95 Recurring.
VIP Members: 1000-1100

VIP Sub-Total for 2 weeks: 12,950 - 14,245
VIP Sub-Total for Recurring: 8,950 - 9,845
VIP Total: 1st Month: 21,900 - 24,090

Towndrunk Draw
Held few months back

Tickets: 5/each
Tickets Sold: +*,000 (not sure)
Cost of Prizes: <5,000
Sub-Total: over 20,000, i calculated back then.
Total: 15,000 in 3 months

Totals
VIP Total: 98450 - 108295/11 months
21,900 - 24,090/ 1st month
120,350- 132385/12 months

TD Draw Total: 15,000

Total for 2006: 135,350 - 145,385/year


My guess was +125,000 so i was pretty close

Myself as well as wildbytes answered similiar questions in another thread this week.
I spend a little over $200 a month on my webserver alone.
I clearly list this in my sites faq page.
This figure does not include the amount that I spend on the seedboxes that alot of the staff use to post new files with. I myself invest roughly $500 into the site to cover 1/4 the cost of the seedboxes. I have several other staff who donate on a monthly basis to cover the costs, as well as a few regular donators. In all honesty youll probably see about 75% of the sites with < 10,000 users with staff putting money into keeping the sites alive themselves.
I know of at least 1 site that makes over $50,000 a month income after paying their server fees. Wont give the sites name though. Its sites like that, that give torrenting in general a bad name.

P.S. Some of the totals on page1 may be close but alot are probably overstating how much some sites take in.

Alot of those figures are just guesses at that. To prove them inaccurate oink spent over $40,000 last month or the month before just on webservers (if I recall correctly.). So I think they probably get over the figure posted. Also youll notice those figures show how much (in estimation) gets taken in. It doesnt state how much they spend on their servers or their boxes ect...

Those seem definately fake to me except the TL one which pretty much makes sense to me.

Pisexy and TL bring in alot of cash thats for sure. TL has many servers and spends alot on the site also. Pisexy aka Pimpie he just takes the money has his only job says he goes on trips and buys toys for him self. Why you think that shity ass site has been listed in scene access and all there uploaders are targeted bt different scene groups, some other sites are also for a different reason, but pisexy spend none of the money on the site or anything other then him self...

I am not sure what all the other sistes make, but i know of some good sites that just make it each month with donations. Some sites like Bitsoup will spamm the crap out of you for cash. I deleted my self from that crap site when i started to get 2 to 3 pms every day on buying gigs to help my ratio and buying access to ftp servers. This site has also been on scene releases..


There are many sites that are just out for your Cash and there are good sites that hardly every push or even ask your donations.

500,000 usd, isn't that 500000 euro? that's amazing

[tintin123]

i actually think the groups rake in lots of cash ir tv group LOL

they have taken a step back recently and may be due to haviung too much money to work??

what u think??

orther than that all sites do make a little extra but also run the risk of being shut down any minute whether private or not!
