I don't understand how you are extrapolating profit from what Dark0ne is saying he spends to keep the site running. It sounds to me like this is a huge money sink for him.

Folks, all of us should take a break from this thing a few days, and let it be. It is done. Some people said things they shouldn't have on all sides. Let's look ourselves in the mirror honestly and understand that we're all a little hyper sensitive right now. Some people's feeling are hurt but this is the internet- it's not real, take it for what it is, not what it seems to be. It's human nature to feel that every is against you when 10 people out of 50 say rude things and it's human nature to feel nobody appreciates you when only one person in 100 says 'good going'. Poking this thing with a stick 24/7 isn't healing any wounds. How about we cool it and try to get back together on this thing 6 May 15? We can celebrate Star Wars day, mourn MCA, and enjoy Cinco de Mayo and maybe come back to this with a weeks' perspective and cool heads. :)

Ok if you think so, but what lead you to think this ? have you found some numbers ?
A company (black tree gaming) own the nexus, and make money like any company, has operating costs like any other , at least the goal is to maintain an equilibrium. No one can work loosing money for long you know, and Nexus is growing "open to all games", it doesn't sound like a loosing company.
So if you have at least $500.000 to spend each year to make your business active, you need to earn at minima as much money somewhere.
And apart from nexus network what are the incomes ? none i'm aware of.

Please remember the money made by the Nexus is for the use of the Nexus, not for individual mods. This is why they are allowed to do it.

In legal terms when one donates for a mod they are not paying for the mod they are actually donating to the modder themselves, this is why Bethesda turn a blind eye. It is advantageous to them and it is also somewhat on the fence legally on whether the donation was for the mod or just because you like to support what the modder does. It really is a setup that is based on good will a trust, both from Bethesda's point of view and Nexus and its users.

I have no evidence of anything. I was going on Dark0ne's word that he runs this site at a loss. I have no reason to believe otherwise, and I would be surprised if a site like this was making any significant amount of profit. He spends a lot of money on upkeep, but that doesn't necessarily mean he is making at least that from donations/ads. I have friends who made a ton of money off of Bitcoins, and are now engaging in labors of love that are also money sinks.

Do you have some information the rest of us don't?

Many have said there should have been a discussion about this before they sprung it on us. Agreed. Well this is that discussion. All be it a little late. Aside from a few bad apples. This has been the most sane forum I have found on the subject. Kudos to you all.
