I know costs are massive, but I'm just wondering why they were saying costs were 5k/month over a year ago, now they're at 6.6k/month with more traffic than before. Yet they should have had big discounts during the time period when it was supposedly 5k.

If they were actually paying 5k/month all this time, the site wouldn't still be up because they don't get much money in donations. I am also guessing they don't have the money themselves to float 5k/month for however many months it has been. If that is indeed the case, what was the real cost, and what happened to the donation money?

Hosting is clearly a huge issue, so I don't understand why concerns weren't seriously raised and actions taken before now if they wanted the site to stay up.

They mentioned they'd got some start up money, not disclosing which company it was, and it looks like that is spent soon.
