This is a normal post Could one of you IT types take a stab at quantifying what the saving would probably be?
I understand that there must be some costs associated with maintaining it but what would you be realistically talking?

This is a normal post Search engine cost, bandwidth, possibly QA to check it isn't broken by upgrades, pennies for storage
Probably far cheaper than the cost of taking it down.

This is a normal post aye, it doesn't make any sense
Once it's up, it's up. It probably costs more to take it down

This is a normal post I think this is less about cost
and more about non-competition

This is a normal post It's an easy option for the BBC
It whips up public fury to help oppose BBC cuts. If they do a U-turn they come out as the good guys who listened to the public, and if they don't they can sell more cookery books.

This is a normal post Fuck all probs, at least nothing significant.
Like yokel says it's about moving it into 1 commercial entity. Staffing can certainly be decreased saving some dosh. Most likely an attempt to simplify. In fairness it makes sense to only run 1 recipe website rather than split your offering. It may move more hits to the commercial side and provide extra cash as well.
