Considering what we save in vet bills from proper husbandry, preventative measures, and what not... it is a small price to pay. Not to mention the finder fees for when we connect with another person that has a great snake to sell, or wants to purchase from us.
The pluses to sites like this go well beyond just getting advice on how to keep a snake.
I am surprised you were able to keep it free for so long, and the key point is, as you noted, no one is being denied access to the site.
I belong to many sites where there are no avs, no profiles, no sigs, etc. So all the perks are just that.. fun, flashy little things. But fun flashy little things that eat up bandwidth and take time to implement.
Sorry I couldn`t give more but I was 2.0$ short in my paypal... and I needed a reserve so that if Stacey couldn`t pay hers I was gonna take one for the team so that we did not have to stare at her happy drunken av for 365 more days!!!
