How much are you currently making from your forums?

My forum doesn't receive a lot of traffic yet but its slowly getting there. I'm making around $5 - $10/day from it but I'm sure these numbers will go up in the future sometime as word of mouth and such kick in.

yes. adsense can make maybe $100 on a good month, TLA makes $18, Azoogle might make $30, i usually hold one local ad at $40 for the month, then any donations.

so $188 on a decent month + Donations.

Most of it is from my claims site. We're sponsored by a big firm and also have a sponsor with UCF (University of Central Florida). So most of the money is coming from that with various income from web design, google ads and other items.
