As this is not a free running site - just by using google lets do some numbers:
Lets say you go cheap with a domain name: $15 * Sites * Typo / Alternate Names = $200 / Yr
VBulletin (Forums Software) $155 * Sites (Bulk Price for 6-10 Sites) + $300 Support = $3000 / Yr
Other Software Requirements (Antivirus, Firewall, OS, Support for the above) = $3000 / Yr
Servers and Internet Connections ... Just A Shot In The Dark We Are Using no Free Hosting Site here
but this number may be way above = $10-20000 / 1-3 Yr
So lets say $20000 for the whole works a year (once again this is a shot-in-the-dark - I know no actual amounts).
So, unless Nick has a money-tree growing in the back-yard of his flat/house/appartment/cardboard box then I would think the money has to come from somewhere
