jugheaddave Posted February 3, 2010 Share Hi Guys I was just wondering, how does this site generate an income? And, is the hub privately owned. Dont worry, I am not trying to start a mtb website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont be such a toss3r!, it could be owned by a bike shop, or community based! I feel it was a valid question, if you have nothing objective to say, then shut your pie hole!!!

gummibear Posted February 3, 2010 Share The Hub is owned by Matt and as he is a student my guess it would be from advertising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have been on the Hub for longer than 2 days, you should be aware that there are people (ME BEING ONE OF THEM) that sometimes feel the need to give a witty answer to what we feel is a silly question. You feel your question is valid. I feel your question is trying to do some quick and cheap research into starting a rival site. Go fish! Stretch, fair chirp - nothing wrong.

Guest Agteros Posted February 3, 2010 Share I also want to know what the alternative to a privately owned website is... (especially as a .co.za domain) Come on, be nice now. After all YOU open this particular can of worms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deep Section Posted February 3, 2010 Share Matt is in the working world, this site was created when he was a student thou.Deep Section2010-02-03 14:01:28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gasping Posted February 3, 2010 Share Agteros, I have it this way: whatever.co.za or .com is privately or corporately owned. They pay a fee for the registration of the domain name and annual sunscription. whatever.gov.za belongs to either a national or local goverment department. whatever.ac.za belongs to an academic institution. Does that help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
