Haha those “we guess your website’s revenue” sites are awesome, I have no idea how they come up with these numbers.

No, it’s not true at all. The site makes a couple of hundred dollars each month, all of which is needed to cover the costs. I don’t make a dime of profit running VirtualR and that wasn’t my intend either.

Like I said above, this site is only staying up thanks to the advertisers who keep this place afloat. Right now, this works out and I don’t have to ask for donations or anything else.

If the advertising revenue would go down one day, I would have to aks for donations even though I´m highly uncomfortable with that. I would do it of course if it’s the last resort to keep the site up.

Let’s hope it never comes to that

But that site is really great.. 300 dollars revenue each day. You can get two months of banner advertising for that around here

If some company out there is willing to pay this kind of money, please don’t hesitate to contact me though

I hope for your sake Montoya that it is true!! You deserve it :)

michael: Yep. Maybe you’d have improved them if you’d practised a bit…

Sarcasm. That's original. There is nothing wrong with my driving standards. You can ask anyone who has ever raced me. What I got sick of was people going off on the grass then just blindly taking their line back again, but because there wasn't a definitive "accident" as such, despite said muppets causing multiple drivers to lose places, the league did nothing. Now once in a while is okay but this was happening multiple times every single week. And always with the same drivers. But I realise you're just baiting me because you're a jackass.

Happy new year, peeps!

2010 will be great, considering rFactor 2 and some great mods, but other than that I dont see any new titles that wets my appetite.

My list of goodies for 2010:

- rFactor 2
- HistorX 2.0
- WSGT 2
- VLN 2009
- Whatever Virtua_LM and Com 8 is up to
- CTDP 94 and the other historic F1 mods
- Enduracers SP1
- Reiza Studios (maybe 2011?)
- Silent Hunter 5

Probably lots more that I cant reember right now. Actually, looking at that list 2010 will be awesome.

And I quit my one online racing league due to piss poor driving standards.

Yep. Maybe you’d have improved them if you’d practised a bit…

should a good sim year for me, gran turismo finnally! rfactor2 should be interesting allthough is probably will have limited content at the beginning…

a good wrc title would be great too, but see-ing the developers I doubt the mighty RBR will be beat.

happy new year.

UncleChuckle: Has there actually been any concrete confirmation RF2 will be out in 2010?Was an interesting year for sure. I would buy Netkar in a heartbeat if they added AI. Been considering getting LFS for a while now too.And I quit my one online racing league due to piss poor driving standards.

And you forgot to say Happy New Year Great work, I visit the site every day, thanks for your efforts
