I mean, wouldn't surprise me if the owner made money.. it is Scubaboard Inc, not Scubaboard non-profit 501c3. Which is perfectly fair. You take a risk, spend money and time on maintenance and modding and other crazy stuff, you should get compensated. My only fear/problem is that almost inevitably the ownership of these kinds of things sells out and/or changes, and all that previously public info that we're all providing goes dark, or requires a subscription, or whatever.Actually..... the cost of running an internet forum is not epic. Based on the amount of ads that I see on SB, I'd say that this forum probably makes more money than they spend.. The moderators, like divemasters, are basically free labor on most forums. Plus, the owners and mods probably travel and dive for free on scourges and invasions. But that's all totally cool with me because I like the site and all that it has to offer....
