I received two donations yesterday, one for $200 and one for $50 and I’d like to thank the people who sent them. I’ve got real names over on Paypal, and I think it was Viccles and Quasi that sent them, I may have that wrong 😛

I appreciate the help, I’ll itemize what was spent starting up the site, at some point, and more importantly what the monthly expenses for running it are.

As I have mentioned to some people, a lot of the plugins I have here I use on multiple sites, and I get unlimited licenses where ever possible for that reason.

I do intend to set up a method where the site can pay for itself without resorting to memberships. I’ll get more into that later also.

We also need to be setting up an organization of some sort to be responsible for running the site, I don’t intend to be chief cook and bottle washer and make all the decisions myself once we get out of set-up phase, but it’s going to take some people volunteering and organizing to accomplish that.

In any case I’ll be writing in more detail on that later after everything is up and running.

I will mention I am in a different position economically than Kim was, I can afford to support the site at it’s current level of membership. If it starts getting larger, needs a bigger server, or starts sending a lot of email and I need to expand that service, that’s the point I’ll start needing support from the members.
