How much have you invested total in your forum?

I usually don't let anyone know about my investments within my community, but I thought this might be an interesting topic to discuss - and the investments and such.

I've invested a total of $619 into my forum - which I've made back somewhat since the investments all occured in September - and I'm slowly making everything back now, however; if my forum was accepted by a big CPM advertising network, or received more traffic; I'd be able to make back the investments quicker than just relying on google adsense.

Who knows. I've been dumping money into my site since 2003. I'd be afraid to know the exact number probably.

I'm a cost cutter, if theres a solution which is free, and is kinda similar, i'll take the free option. eg vBulletin & Mybb

All together, i've spent around £100 so far, domains at £10 each, hosting at 60 per year and some designs, which i have made back.

On my sports one in just the past month easily $5k but those advertisements will be up and running until January. So by Mid next year, I'll know if it was worth it.
