I haven't contributed to Freestuff because most everything there is better than what I can do with the tools I've got. I also haven't purchased from the store because I'm in some financial straits myself right now. (Sniff, sniff) I smell ... REALITY. Hey, I really like this site and come here almost every day. But if it is gonna put ya in the poorhouse, something's gotta give. (Us?) At 15000 members, 2 or 3 bucks each a year just to cover costs isn't unreasonable. But making it a 'pay' site will mean many members will leave, pruning down the membership. This is an ambitious site. If it were to get scaled back, I would understand. I wouldn't like it, but I accept it. I could also accept more advertising if it helped keep it up. Business is war, and e-business is e-war. I really hope the e-casualties don't include this place.
