Very nice post daniel. You have discovered like about 99% of those like us that running a site can be either a very expensive hobby or it can take a lot of time to get established and begin making money. While the amounts I've received seem like a lot, spread out over 3 years, and considering I spend more on just the hosting alone than I've brought in thus far, and the hours I have to put in to keep things running smoothly, I've lost a ton of money. My situation is probably different from most see more as the video chat HAS to be top-notch and able to handle a large number of users with 100% uptime or I hear about it. For that reason, I use two separate servers for my hosting, one for the site and one dedicated to just the chat, on a very fast connection. If not for that, I could have made a nice little profit by now, but then again, I'm going up against some of the big players in this market and I cannot afford to have a solution that isn't top-notch.
