[QUOTE="John, post: 68072, member: 1"] This should be available now under "Sections". Thanks for the suggestion as well as the support! I know we've been asked if we would take donations for the site in the past and we very gratefully declined at the time. Personally, I think the site is still at its infancy and the operating expenses are more than manageable; a couple of weeks back I thought we hit the 'critical mass' point in terms of the server's performance because I noticed the response time was getting pretty slow but it turned out to be something else. Perhaps I'm speaking too soon, who knows what will happen when the season officially kicks off. I'm being optimistic and thinking we won't have any major meltdowns. *crosses fingers* I think the biggest "cost" that is in the forefront of my mind is the amount of personal time that the staff spends covering GT news and keeping the site clean. There's no doubt in my mind that [USER=2]@Eric[/USER], [USER=274]@CuseJacket[/USER], and [USER=40]@PowderSpringsJacket88[/USER] volunteer their time because they love covering and keeping up with GT related news; I am really proud of the fact that this is the only thing that drives us. Certainly, I can't imagine that this will be a sustainable model at a certain point of the site's growth but when we do get to that point, I'd like for the staff to discuss and agree on the best way forward. This just hasn't been one of our goals especially with all the changes that's been made to the site recently. Having said all of that, the support via the affiliate program isn't at all a bad idea, we'll need to keep that option in mind. Thanks again. :) [/QUOTE]
