i get IMMENSE joy from my rugby forum. We fight and bitch and slag off anyone who is not Welsh and then when we are done, we slag off each others teams etc
Do I make money from the forum? NO WAY. Do i WANT to make money from the forum? NO WAY. Any money that comes in in adsense etc is spent on kit for kids rugby.
You should run a forum for love, as a hobby, a place to get AWAY from work.
