Who runs Draconic, and why is it free?
Draconic was started by KaniS (aka Chris Dragon) as a personal project to help other dragons, because he knew how horrible it felt to think he was alone. Today, years later, he remains happy to pay the cost of servers and internet connection for the site. Although KaniS invested a lot of time up-front creating the software that runs Draconic, it no longer takes a lot of effort on his part to keep going (except when new features are created). Other dragons have volunteered to moderate the forums and handle new user authorization, both of which require a daily time commitment, so your thanks should go to them as well.
