Yeah, this 'used to be' a non-profit website, but I can tell you now they must be making £1,000's a month. Server/Domain/Hosting facilities aren't exactly cheap, but not THAT much!

Hmmmm......the Jury's still out on that one

Not a problem it was the creation of this thread that reminded me it needed doing.

I think the crux has been mentioned already, but I will re-iterate, this site is now so popular it needs adverts to keep it afloat, I can't think of any other similar site in any sport or RL like LRL, superleaguefans, totalrl, skysports etc that is run without advertising, we keep the ads in set positions that hardly really get in the way of what is to over 130,000 regular users a totally free website, free news, free forums, free fantasy rl, free live scores, free ticket giveaways, free stats, free mobile sites. A place you can go, free from spam, bullying, illegal posts, a community feel etc.

It does take considerable costs to keep all that running smoothly even when over 3000 people are on at peak times. So the ads are here to stay, however if you fancy donating a large chink of money to rlfans we'll make sure the adverts are all removed for you

Keep the adverts keep the site that's a no brainer then, i don't care about adverts that's a reason i have sky plus go right threw adverts brill

Yet to be mentioned on this thread is where RLFANS profits end up which you can read all about rlHERErl.

If you don’t want to post on here then feel free to go on Facebook where advertisements are around too. Only these adverts on Facebook don’t benefit rugby league and only serve to make Mark Zuckerberg richer.

Damo has spoken re end of conversation going nowhere.
