Doc, how much does this site cost to operate?
Well, for the benefit of you n00bs, I'll explain.
When we first departed from GC, we set up shop at a free temporary forum. The problems with that were that (1) we had no control over if or when we would be shut down; and (2) we had no control over the board itself.
Sure, we could moderate it, but we couldn't back anything up, we couldn't change anything about it.
So we decided to buy a domain name and a web host. I fronted the initial money (about $30, if I remember right) and then asked for donations.
Almost everyone chipped in, and some folks chipped in quite a bit. The cost to run the site is about $10 a month. I pay half of that because I intend to use the hosting service for my own personal site (though I haven't done that yet) and the rest comes from our donation fund.
When we get low on funds, I'll ask for donations again, but that probably won't happen until 2009.
