I've been in retail my whole, life.  Was involved in Real Estate/ Mtg industry for about 5 years, and actual sales for around 10 years.  I might be only 21, but I have devoted almost my entire life to the Bottom line, and what makes money. Here are the #1 things that I've learned make you profit.  The kinda money you Like!

1. INFORMATION. Very minimal overhead w/ LOTS of demand. (depending on info - but even random info still has demand.). There is tons of information around here.  The important part is how you position the information to make money from it.

2. Advertising. Here again. Low overhead, especially on the internet. W/ high margin of profit.  The value of the real estate around Zilvia is becomming more and more valuable.

3. Luxury/"wants" Retail items. these items, have lower demand, and often even lower supply (depending on the type of item) There by allowing higher prices. However this is at the bottom of the list because it is very hard to maintain the proper stock levels consumers demand. If you get good at this though. There is A LOT of money to be made, its just harder to Start here because of the high cost of entry into the market.

What does all this mean?? Follow the trend of about every other information site on the Net, and Charge for advertising. You get the best of both worlds. You are basically selling information to the public, and the business are paying for the access to the info. You Make yourself into an invaluable asset.  Then once you get the money, begin selling the "luxury" retail items.  There you have it.  A business plan that could make you More than enough money to live off of. Of course this is much easier said than done. But soliciting money from Business's for advertising space, is MUCH easier than soliciting money from free loading Internet Info junkies, who HATE to pay for information, but love to by gadgets.
#### you could even make a profit, not just buy a bigger bandwidth pipe. Which is what the ultimate goal was here anyway right?

I know If I was setting up a site like this. I would say to myself. Man, It would be great to have a cool place to go and chat about my Favorite stuff in the world. Gain clout, and respect from 1,000's of people. And even make a few bucks on the Side! Sounds like an Amazing situation. Good Luck.  Just remember, the most succesfull people on the planet are truly "GREAT" Salesmen.
