Question Prices of AB Servers & AB Reloaded Team

I randomly thought of a couple of things a while back-- And wondered.

So, how much is it exactly, per year or month, or per payment period, that the AB servers cost to host?
Along with that, how much of it gets covered by donations?


Also, are the same people in charge of AB also in charge of AB Reloaded, or are there separate teams?

Thought these were interesting Q's.
STUVAN.

1&2: No idea. Abovo are the ones in charge of all financial aspects, and the volunteer staff are not privy to that information.
3: No. The sites have same owners but different teams.

Thumbs up Alrighty Then...

Great-- Thanks for the reply.

Who exactly are "Abovo", though? I'm not yet privy to that Abandonian Term.

I guess I need to read Dis:

Book AB Term JPEG by StaaViinsZ, on Flickr

(Yes, I created it)

So wow-- There's a whole sister to this team over here... Is there also another forum, or does that come back to here again?
So-- In theory-- If AB died, then AB Reloaded could actually keep going on it's own?

Well, I suppose it depends on the type of death.
If AB died because the owner decided to stop paying for it, then the owner probably wouldn't keep AB Reloaded either.

But if AB died because of total Staff Quit, (Yeah Right) and just became a "Nary Updated" type of place, then perhaps Reloaded would stay alive on it's own.
I guess I just answered my own question.

Alright, that's it for now...

Abovo Media Group, the owners of Abandonia and Reloaded.

The chain goes like this:
Kosta Krauth started Abandonia somewhere in the early 00's or late 90's.
In 2006 or thereabouts, he sold Abandonia to a Swedish company named Studentis Group.
In 2010, Studentis Group went bankrupt and was purchased by Abovo Media Group.

Exclamation Alright

Okay, so what happens if Abovo Media decides they don't like us?
Crash and burn? Uhhh... Scary...

Most likely they'd sell AB to someone else.
