a website such as this one cost between 500-1000 a month to run.. with the influx of people registering.. it would be costing PO.com A LOT more b/c HP.com shut down... the owner of PO.com already pays out of his pocket for everything the sponcers don't cover.. and as far as knowledge.. the mods are mods for a reason.. we know what we're talking about and are able to answer most any question you all post.. so we're not really TOO worried about knowledgable members still in existance...
