I'm "in it" because I like coding and know basically every webmaster. Money is just an extra which ill use for non-warez projects in future.

Just to note though, unfortunately the majority of new webmasters are in it for the money (for various reasons, which im sure the older webmasters know of). They throw up a 5 minute DDL, slap affiliate links all over it, join an autosubmitter and leave it.

yea that comment is 120% true. They only want a website to make a profit which is probably the reason why it usually fails.



For me its a hobby. The money we get for vip and donations cover our server costs. Recently our vb license was about to expire so we added text links to cover it. The extra $ will go into things for the site.

I on the other hand stopped making warez sites and started to work on my legal forum.. I only have 1 forum now, not 5, 1. That is the only way to go... And now its doing better than all of my other forums combined. Its called focus, learn it.

Yeah In a certain way there is money involved but for me i use it only to pay my server costs and improvement of my server for better experience for the users n my site. not for any of my personal use I do it only as a hobby

[loki]

No ad's. No donations, No payed Vip,on all our sites, must be a hobby, we're in it for the rush and fun

Well, not in it too mcuh for the money.
In fact, when i first started two years ago, i spent well over $1000 on hosting, software, etc. just for my warez site. Donations were never enough to cover it and I didn't run ads at all. So it was just a hobby.
Now however with my Hosting Cost in the $200+/pm, and me without a Job. Ads are a must. I used most of the money for Hosting and other site needs.
The rest of the money are for kept in savings just encase of an emergency.
Occasionally though, I buy some stuff on ebay, but usually they're just books and stuff for my studies.

I think we all start out as a hobby, many n00bs starting out quickly die off... those that can maintain the time and server/hosting costs etc remain, but are still prone to things like hacking/exploits in scripts/ddos attacks.. for such things the more experienced guys will take steps to prevent, but it also requires more time and money. The big guy's in the scene are those who have stuck around for a long time -- and they need to make some money to stay up, or they wouldn't be here.

I started out doing this as a hobby/leisure activity 'cuz it was cool. Eventually you figure out how to make a couple bucks so you do it. I hate people who load their sites with ads/popups in non-surfer friendly websites, even worse -- those who make money via programs that install scripts, spyware, trojans or viruses on your browser or computer etc.

I vote "Other" -- both, hobby and money.

Thats the thing I don't get, Why are people in it for the money as I don't think I've met anyone who runs a warez site that has made money, well made any respectable amount of money from a warez site.

Nice to meet you sherwood. Now you have. There's others out there too.
