JOINING THE SA FORUMS WILL REMOVE THIS BIG AD, THE ANNOYING UNDERLINED ADS, AND STUPID INTERSTITIAL ADS!!!

You can: log in, read the tech support FAQ, or request your lost password. This dumb message (and those ads) will appear on every screen until you register! Get rid of this crap by registering your own SA Forums Account and joining roughly 150,000 Goons, for the one-time price of $9.95! We charge money because it costs us money per month for bills, and since we don't believe in showing ads to our users, we try to make the money back through forum registrations.

Real Answer: Find out which forums have the mosts posts from accounts that pay the most money.

Basically, assign every account a dollar value, then see how much of that dollar value is posting in each forum over the last 2 years, then break it down in to quarters.

Find your high spenders, and create a strategy around them.

Do we have a forum that has a poo poo load of traffic (like fyad) and no actual cash (like bfc)? Because that's a great forum to delete to save on bandwidth/servers while keeping cash flow the same.

That seems like a terrible idea. Wouldn't you just be leaving the forums that instigate the most bans? How would you figure out which forums are encouraging archives purchases? How do you know whether the high spenders are driven here by their posting behavior or their lurking behavior? Wouldn't that saved bandwidth just migrate to GBS? Is bandwith even a major cost driver?

If SA really does need money, monthly fees or more add-ons makes a lot more sense than trimming content.
