Not much. It's hosted with Site5 and would fit on an XTREME plan at $7.77/month; however, to accomadate for expansion, it is hosted on an UNLEASHED plan at $16.47/month.

Ok, so you're actually making a lost of $3.46/month? How can you justify the BIN of $2,000?

i think if yahoo advertising was put into that site the revenue would increase by an amazing amount. So many people use this to host their images (including me)

The more people that use it the higher the costs to host the website, alot of people are using the service but it seems people have become immune to adsense? Or the type of adverts being displayed on these sites aren't very high cpc.
Is the script custom made? How much did that cost?

Yeah, also if it was nicely placed, it could be making you money on POSSIBLY every upload.

Yes, the script is custom made.
When Adsense was on the site, I didn't optimize the ads at all. Also, the banner displayed at the moment is static, and if replaced with a rotator, could potentially earn 5x of what it is earning right now. In addition, if you look at the new UserCP design I had made up, there is a sponsored link that could go for probably $50/month if traffic were a bit higher. I had also planned a 125x125 ad on the new homepage.
BIN is justified by everything included with the site and traffic. Potential revenue also played a small role.
