I seem to recall that people offered to offset the costs of the banner ads earlier, but the discusion never got anywhere, mostly because nobody could produce the amount that the banner ads brought in. As far as suggestions, why not all chip in and get a nice dedicated server in a centralized place (e.g. Washington DC), get it up and running, and migrate things over one by one. - -- Greg Sabino Mullane greg@turnstep.com PGP Key: 0x14964AC8 200409292037 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iD8DBQFBW16evJuQZxSWSsgRAoaVAJwJy/6UfZsqc4CBimYybiGyeCPA/QCdFqD3 zzKVQCcnPLyPN93f7GwiIFA= =30J6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
