As 2017 was our first full year using Patreon, I though it would be a good idea to show everyone a breakdown of the costs and revenue for the site.
Our Costs
Domain Renewals: $27.64
Hosting: $544.01
SSL/TLS Certificate: $8.95
External Backups: $95.20
Total: $675.80
Our Revenue
Patreon Donations: $498.07
Advertising: $5.14*
Other Donations: $178.83
Total: $682.04
* This was our remaining balance on Tapatalk before we disabled the service for security reasons.
That leaves $6.24 leftover, which we will put back into the costs for 2018. Thank you to everyone who donated, whether you contributed a one-time amount, or contribute monthly via Patreon!
