| I agree, GameBanshee Sold Out...
Please,
Do you think we are all stupid? DNS registration costs $35 for a two year submittal (@Netsolve). A robust server like a Compaq Proliant Series runs $3,900, depreciated as a capital asset over 36 months like any good businees is a net cost of just over $100 a month.
A SDSL business account from almost any provider is only $49 a month, giving GameBanshee a broadband bandwidth stream of 3-8mbps (3-8 T1s).
The only way this site costs more than a house payment is if it is being run fiscally poorly, or it is a real small house.
This would make GameBanshee profitable by establishing a few links to premier game sites rather than selling out to Internet capitalization.
Personally, I like the site, but I won't be back. And I will be telling several people and local game shops that the site has commercialized and sold out.
