Let's be realistic here. Vendors and sponsors pay AK to help run this site.
The cost to run this site is:
Domain reg fees + hosting/bandwidth + forum license
The money generated from this site is:
Sponsorship/vendors paying dues + forum memberships
Vendors and sponsors pay good money to be here as they know being here and having a presence = sales. AK knows having a place for them to market = sales for them and is thus valuable for him.
I can't speculate on numbers but again, being realistic, it may not be enough to live on or buy car parts or whatever, but significant money is generated through the370.com, a place we can all agree -- we are thankful that it exists.
