This site can't make more than 100k a year. Is it really that cheap to run a site like 4chan? I'm not knowledgeable on the subject, but what hardware is this site running on?

I think you could calculate the hardware costs. I'd say it must not be expensive at all. in fact, I'd guess the biggest expense must be to run it behind cloudflare.
but I have no clue either. you could calculate it. I'm too lazy for that, but I'd guess a couple of servers at most would be enough, if optimized. that must be a problem for 4chan, though, because as far as I understand, it's running an old version of PHP.
the hack showed that 4chan has like 10 servers in total IIRC.

He sells passes and ads. You really have to leave, though, this isn't gonna work out with you hanging out here. Best if you left right now.

Cloudflare isn't that expensive
Free tier goes a long way

the NSA must pay really well to have all the traffic and data a site like 4chan manages pass through cloudflare for free. I imagine it's not really a lot (biggest % is small videos and pics) but still, 4chan has lots of users.

That guy has a much lighter skin tone than me and I'm white but my base skin tone is about the same color a little lighter.

Thanks for reminding me race is not always skin color, even if it is most of the time

My guess is 4chan is like WWII Casablanca or Babylon 5 for glowies of all nationalities. Hiro must be getting paid by all the alphabet agencies, Mossad, Iran, China, Russia etc.
