How much does it cost to run and maintain a forum such as this?

I don`t know about operating costs but if you "hire" SuNBassadors to help you for free, you can cut some of those costs.  :)

Here is a link explaining StartupNations`s SuNBassadors.  I`m one of them so my answer was mostly tongue-in-cheek.

He`s kidding ... basically, getting volunteers to help you with your community participation is what he`s saying.

Your costs depend on how good you want it to be. What people don`t consider is that a site like this would take a couple of people full time to admin over the content, create promotions, keep the flow going, remove offensive and spam content. This does not cover programming tasks. You can do it without the admin people, but it won`t be very good.

Thanks for the replies!
