Ever wondered if that 20,000,000 users figure is mainly blown out of proportion by the fact that people are forced to sign up to even download a mod - for no objectively valid reason? How many of these 20,000,000 users have ever actually done "mentionably" more than only download mods? Such as engaged in forums, left reviews, whatever? Could you provide that info? Would be surprised to see that number be above 10%. I get it, bragging that your website has 20,000,000 users makes you the cool guy at family reunion. But don't lie to yourself, 19,000,000+ of these are dead accounts created only for downloading that one mod they couldn't find elsewhere. No engagement. No payment. Not even viewed ads. Be smart, save money by letting people download mods without signing up. Those who want to leave reviews, write in forums, or provide content themselves will sign up anyway. And 200,000 * $1,75 per month (minimum, average likely higher) seems like a pretty decent chunk of money to run this site. With today's pricing for web services and traffic.
