Money isn't the bottom line. There a lots of better ways to get rich than this. But it you want decent performance for a reasonable number of people you need to pay for it, and pay well. Bandwith isn't free. Somebody, somewhere gets a bill for it and shells out the cash. Currently this is Jack. Jack wants to not go broke supporting this, and maybe even make a few bucks. So he has to keep the financial picture in mind. I wish the PFO thing had not blown up. But, to the best of my knowlage, we never engaged in denial of service attacks, deleted messages, spammed the galleries and funstuff areas on the PFO and did the things that were done to this site by PFO members. We tried hard (and usually successfuly) to avoid saying nasty things about them, even though the PFO constantly attacked us. Willow and Grey were very difficult to deal with and, over time, painted themselves in a corner.
