I agree with Burgundia that it shocks me how many people would leave even if its only $1 a month, but i understand the reasons, which are not just money-related. So there HAS to be a way to fund the forum, even if it slightly compromises principles - the forum is too good to see it fail. T-shirt sales are a brilliant idea, but some form of marketing can't be too bad if monitored. And those members who contribute significantly should be given FREE MEMBERSHIP. I am a "lurker" so am happy to contribute (both to the forum and to PC) but I love to read the links etc and i have become so much more knowledgable about stuff i never knew about just a short time ago...and i spred the word like everyone else once i know something.
Bill & Kerry keep up the great work and best of luck with finding funding, but do be reasonable towards those who you know contribute/add to the forum's knowledge, and definately have a list of people who can be "sponsored" by others.
