Spregovori,

What's the reason? Well I'm not sure. Behind the scenes, the payment system was a lot of hassle. This will cut one workload for me by a ton but then probably add 10 tons of other work. We will definitely need more moderators.

Project Light Warrior is one reason, I think. Those volunteers working on that project are now using the forum as a base for communication.

I don't think its about getting more people on the forum to get more donations.

I don't see Kerry and Bill coming back to the forum to contribute. I've tried to pull them back in about 4 times over the last year. Written communication takes a lot of time. There is talk of getting something like conference calls going that Kerry and Bill would participate in. I don't know if that would be free or fee-based.

The people they interview were part of the forum in the beginning, but those people all left. Very rude remarks and criticisms were directed at them - so why would they stick around to take the abuse?

There are old threads full of ideas of how to raise funds. I still like my idea of running a monthly donation drive on the forum - sort of like National Public Radio does.
