And to the best of my knowledge Peter has never made 1 cent profit from keeping this website up and running for over 18 years now. To the contrary, the cost of doing so is money spent out of his own pocket every single year. Sure, supporters and ads help. But they don't bring in enough to pay the bills. Peter pays the bills. Well, nobody knows for sure if CT even will be up and running 1 year from now let alone 25. It's pretty rare for any website to last as long as this one has now. Most websites simply fade away and disappear before they are even a few years old, let alone 10 or 20 years. But one thing is certain, if the day ever comes that the bills stop getting paid, for whatever reason, CT is simply gonna fade away and disappear.
