What type of maintenance has to be done? Indexing should be automatic...the physical server is in, what, Houston? (Raz is in the UK.) There's the electicity costs but I think Raz's partner takes care of that. On top of that, I do not think the minor updates/changes done are cutting into his real world job.
Eliminating one ad or asking the group that pushes that ad, to remove it from their ad tasks, at least for KMC, is not a tall order, at all, and it a very common request from website owners. It will quickly be replaced with a less intrusive ad IF it is removed.
I don't see why that would be needed, though. Why not just use adblocker in Firefox? Block the ads you don't like. It's a piece of cake...no..."piece of crumb cake." 😄

Adds are already paid for. If no one logs log, money is still taken, though the reason companies are paying Raz to show their adds is due to the traffic this place gets.
If you made a website and only your grandmother visited it, you'd have a hard time having McDonalds pay you to have an add of theirs displayed, considering it gets one visitor.
