I seem to remember that the last time the bandwidth bill came in, it took a bit of concerted effort to raise the money. I just wonder how many active members make donations. Surely if every active member threw in $50 a year, that would make a huge difference? I just hope there aren't too many people taking the site for granted.
Doc and Dane, I really wish you'd throw a visa facility up as I can only use Paypal when I'm sober and it still takes me a while to remember my passwords etc! Visa is great for impulse buying! Also, moving the PayPal logo to the top of each page may help as I remember it took me some months to even notice it.
So, something's got to give and if it's not all active members, then it's excellent to have Ross. From what I know, he just started Craftbrewer mainly as an interest and a challenge - it's not as though he's doing it as a source of livelihood or is dependant on the income. The day he helped me with my first AG he had just spent 2 hours helping a new brewer with AG over the phone!
I've had great help from one or two other retailers on the site and I'm sure Dane will continue to show great judgement in who he chooses to be sponsors. Lucky for us that it's his show I reckon.
Cheers
