I know Bobak is the server of "the Shawn" and all, but does Shawn just pay for this out of the kindness of his heart as I don't see any ads (aside from the one advertising fuck dolls and parties with alleged murders) and I was just wondering? Is he some kind of awesome rich guy that just does it for fun, or is their some kind of community contribution that I am unaware of?

Shawn is a big tymer, and that's all you need to know.

Tasuke is actually a viral marketing campaign, n-g.com is paid for its participation.

Hosting such as this does not cost very much money... it's also a business expense.

Bandwidth might be up there, but a cheap colo can solve that problem too.

Serious answer

Shawn donates sperm once a month and uses that money for hosting fees.

Hosting is not that much. I pay $40 a year for unlimited bandwidth. I'm guessing someone hosts this site for free just because they love Neo Geo and want to see this forum stay around forever.

Hell if it came down to it I would host this site on my paided server if I had to.

Like someone said before hosting a website does not cost alot of money at all nowadays.

I remember being showed around town by a black guy in Memphis when I was 13 travelling with family. He wanted money after he told us about the cinemas and mcdonalds. We didn't give him shit.
