A moment in Philmusic.com's History: The site domain was registered in December 1996. We are at most, probably one of the longest running Philippine websites around!
let's just say that jim ayson loves the pinoy music community so much that no money could equate to his passion. philmusic is a gift to all musicians simply put!
this said as answer to the TS' question, please let's keep the community clean and good...

I only know one thing;Maintaining a site is easy, around 500 pesos annually. Creating the site is a different story.
i think baliktad, madali lang gawin tong site, SMF is easy to install. maintaining it, with the huge amount of traffic this site getting, must be costly, add mo pa yung isa pang side ng maintenance (policing the forums) which our moderators are doing free of charge. server space/bandwidth cost a lot of money.
baka yung domain name ang sinasabi mo annually?
Yeah a creating a site is easy, keeping it going for 15 years is something else.
