| how's RS still alive: 2024 edition
i dont recall any of the owners still lingering around the last 10 years
would guess most users have adblock now
who's the generous person still feeding like the 25yo hamster gasping for air keeping the dial-up server up, identify yourself
edit: when i submitted the thread it timed out: freaking jinxed it

Ads and traffic.
Skinny and others who lurk in the dark.
Actually, it’s the Chinese government.

Someone is taking care of it; I'll let them speak up if they want. It's not me financially, though I am here to keep it running

How much does it cost to run a website like this?
I dabbled in hosting before with some failed businesses and I think it was like $40 a month. That was on wix. Is RS like that? Or is it much more?

I've got my adblocker turned off here too.
Every thread seems to have quite a few guests relative to the actual member count, I'm assuming those are mostly automated things scraping the site?

I spend $4k a year on golf. I'm sure this place doesn't come close. I'm sure the 3.x VB software has been paid off 20 years ago.

Quite honestly, I'm surprised this place is still kicking 
I'm sure exec council (ownership) and some of the other admin council (Orgasm_Donor, Niteraven & I) are still around in some capacity. Fact is.. we're all old and have much larger life concerns but I'm glad the bills are paid and skinny is still around because without him, this site is definitely done for.
I'll be here till the lights go out..

Reminiscing the peak RS of the 2000's.
car/mod culture in full effect. ITR, S2000, RSX-S, 350Z, G35, WRX STI, 240SX, M3,
Alpine Subwoofer, kenwood deck, mugen/spoon/J's racing.
buy/sell section
epic flame wars in fight club
Now automotive forums like manual transmissions are dying out thanks to facebook groups and marketplace plus changing demographics. New generation DGAF about cars or modding when they can uber anywhere.

Hardware is more expensive than ever! Especially memory, which forums need a lot of to stay fast

No Adblocks for this guy.
I’d love an RS decal for the F150.
Big thanks to Skinny and whoever is funding this site. You are appreciated by many.
Congrats Vansterdam! I imagine your wedding would have more weed than alcohol at it. That would be cool, actually. Sign of the times transition. The dank is a lot healthier than the drank.

Sticker sales about to explode, kids will think it’s some wish.com version of Supreme
Just went hunting for my first account on here, 2008 join date, hilariously cringey posts, man we’re old now *sigh* back to making my kids toast they will throw at the dog
