I just thought it might be of interest how much servers cost to rent (or run) these days, so that maybe a few of the younger ones who are generally not appreciative of the sort of costs behind the scenes, especially for those who have their computer bought by their parents and their ISP costs paid by them too. Not having a go at anyone, just letting you know it costs someone somewhere, so be thankful next time you whinge about bad pings and stuff.


Sooooo who pays for the WTF server and bandwidth then?????? A good samaritan somewhere?

Cheers,
