    Yeah adsacly, asking is rude i guess. I bet it does pull in a hefty load each month tho. To start a decent forum you just need to dedicate time to it then if your forum is good you will get dedicated members who will make it grow... :)

    You shouldn't ask such a question in public lol. What if he is rich (What can you do? except telling your friend lmao). Work hard that's it.

    I thought I read somewhere that DP makes $6,000 a month in Adsense, not $10,000. Maybe that was then, and this is now.

    Which is one of the reasons this place probably got so popular. Has it always been a revenue sharing forum?
