Wow! I be happy to make the $100.00 a month it cost me to run this site. I must be doing something wrong. Oh well! I'll just keep plugin at it.
Thats great news.I can share an update - if you look at my earlier drone post.....
The drone site is going great guns and the book now makes over $1K per month. Other income from affiliates, adsense, etc. has jumped way up.
It is not quite accurate to say I am making all the money from a forum...since the site consists of a WP blog and a XF forum - the blog gets much more action than the forum. However, the site is now up to making real money of a sort. No, I'm not ready to buy a private jet but in my (semi) retirement the income allows us to live better and help our kids out more, etc.
Traffic is up 200% or so in the last year.
It does take some work, but it's fun and I do need things to do to fill up the days and nights....so that's OK. Also, I get to fly drones...which is really cool. Look at my media gallery for some samples - here is one vid.

It's nice to see someone being honest. I see so many people with "The Field Of Dreams" mentality "If you build it they will come". And then they spend a ton of money on their website and complain that no one is visiting and they are not making money and then they close up shop.I make next to nothing off my website... Doesn't even cover the $100 a month to run my website.
I do it for my community... and I have parleyed it into selling my modifications.
