Hey, leagl - I've been operating under the (possibly) mistaken premise that costs were actually quite low, like de minimus, maybe through an impression I got back when you were describing the creation of the site. What are the costs? I think I saw some reference to a cost per week or month in a recent post, but, really, I (and probably everyone else) have no idea.
Thinking that there was no real money pressures, I've been ignoring the whole subject, and just assuming the donations were going to MR's counseling bills. I'm now thinking I was wrong.

While MR's counseling bills, I am sure, are high (though not as high as mine) that is not where the money goes. The very first site took almost no money. We found out quickly, between being shut down and repeatedly crashing that a cheap or free site would not work for us. So we did some fund raising and built this site. It cost us a considerable amount to get it up and running, which, thanks to some very generous users, including the admins, we were able to raise.
We spend approximately 120 dollars a month, not counting the need for upgrades and additional expenses for any work we have to hire out, to run the site. That is where the price for the box on the side of the front page comes from. 30 dollars per week.
Most of the money goes to pay for our hosting. I have a couple hundred dollars in the bank right now, so we are always in need of money for future months. |
