bam the people who run this site aren't really looking at this store as a way of paying the rent or eating.. I think they are looking at it as a way of making the site pay for itself. Fur is right This site with all it's features is expensive in bandwidth. The banners don't pay that much money (believe me I know) so why not find a way to make the site actually begin to bring in the price to run it and a little extra to throw great contests like they have been? It's a lot better than having to see the site shut down because no one can afford to run it anymore. Storm
