Hi Greg,

This is a timely topic. Almost two years ago I bought the domain names and a web hosting package from GoDaddy. We're getting very close to the renewal date. The software we run is free of charge. I supplied the initial 2 year's worth of funding to get WaGu off the ground. I'd like to hear from others as to how to proceed. My personal opinion is to add a "donate" TopLink which we can activate periodically to ask for member funding. The amount required per year is in the low hundreds, but I'll check with GoDaddy to see about their current rates. Thoughts?

It's my hope that the forum will eventually be membership supported. I think any other revenue stream would detract from the quality of the site.

I can offer space on my server but it may be best for me to just offer financial support since control with you has proven trust and kindness. One group I sponsor a website for came up with a good idea and it seemed to work painlessly. they set up an ebay account and members donated items. I'd tell you the name of the group but you would think I am kidding.
