    i'm spending over 50/month on the bbs. how about you guys

    Lately I only spend money on the electricity to keep my BBS PC going.
    I've had the PC since 2012. I've only replaced the storage drive(s) a couple times (the last time was in December last year, when I bought a new HDD for it, put in an SSD for the OS, and bought a new CPU cooler for it).
    Other than that, my BBS PC still works fine. I haven't bought any new
    door registrations in years. So aside from electricity, I don't have any other regular ongoing expenses for my BBS.

    It can add up quick. A few months ago I upgraded one of my PC's that is hosting Cnet, purchased a new 14TB harddrive and a new 27 inch monitor.
