I'm not a financial person, so I have a couple of questions. How did you calculate the $16K figure and is that a book value or something else? Thanks.

Well, the owners might care about that.
If they really were interested in making a buck, they would have never BANNED ME the 14 times that they did!

Summitpost is currently the 51,752 biggest website in the world. The domain receives about 7,604 unique visitors and 43,343 (5.7 per visitor) page views per day. Based on this information, you can estimate that it earns about $23 USD per day and gives the site an overall value of $16,653 USD.
Besides the fact that this isn't very much money, this, of course, ignores all of the years that Summitpost was not making any money. During those years it was costing the owners money to provide the facilities for hosing it. It was also costing a lot of time and effort on their part doing the programming and such. Like Bryan said: "it goes to show that the prime purpose of SP is mountains, not money."

This response and your outward attitude are exactly why I for one, would not want someone as yourself as the owner/s.
It is very obvious what you would do when folks would totally counter your personal goals and premise.
Nicely Done Stef.
DON'T DO AS I SAY...OK! I SHUT IT ALL/YOU DOWN!
Besides, you'd then probably take all the beta without our permission and sell it to make a buck.
You never saw the conversation between myself and squishy about this so shut the fuck up will ya?
You have my mailadres, you may always email me but I won't respond on this subject in a propper way on this forum!

I don't think there was a time that SP didn't have some revenue coming in, except perhaps for the first few months when the site was initially launched. In SP v/1, long before the banner ads started, they had fixed links in the Gear section to some of the outdoor retailers like REI & Moosejaw. And members were encouraged to click on them even if you weren't looking for anything.

This doesn't agree with my memory (could be wrong) of the way things started out. I can remember being amazed that someone could put this together and aquire the server space for all of the pictures without any visible way to make money off of it (no ads). My first thought was that it was a government employee, and that unbeknownst to some federal agency they were hosting it on some secret place on their computer.
