I don't mean to be a prick, but I have to ask.

Are we as contributors going to be informed as to how our money is spent?

We currently pay $135.00 per month for a dedicated server. The largest user is debategate, both in storage requirements and bandwidth.

Other users, mostly blogs, are also hosted and their monthly payments help defer overall costs.

I also had some corporate websites hosted but they have moved on. At one time they paid all the freight.

Jeebus. BT, do you get enough in donations to break even at least?

Why not just charge everyone whatever the necessary amount is, $25, $50, $75 or whatever?

Altruism. And non-profit status.

I don't charge anyone for the services I provide, only ask for donations.
