i'm spending over 50/month on the bbs. how about you guys
$0 - I mean... what do you have to pay for? Maybe you host it somewhere off-site? I run mine on a crappy old thinkpad chuggi
along in the corner of
a room - and the new 20ForBeers project BBS on a raspberry pi.
Sure I've paid some $$ for ANSI work and some donations... but thats about it.

I don't run a BBS, but I run some services for myself and friends, and if you have to compute costs:
* Hardware repair and replacements.
* Networking.
* Electricity.
* Time.
I take advantage of the fact I use the same computer for multiple tasks, so costs are diluted, but if the only thing you did
with your network was serve the BBS, you'd be paying a static IP or setting a DDNS, plus the domain registration if need be,
just for that service.
