Well, I think that a "voluntary subscription" with a system that automatically bills your credit card "every" month so people won't forget or get lazy about making contributions is a not too bad idea. The only catch is that those who are subscribed do get something that the others don't. I have to beg someone to host and post everything I give away at the freestuff pages because I am not savy or interested enough to learn how to do it myself. How 'bout I be able to upload my files to you guys like I can upload an image. Or is this a bad idea because it would take up server space and make it more expensive on you? I don't know how this all works. Or, how 'bout if I give you 5 - dollars a month and 1 to 2 dollars of it go toward a monthly contest winner? And my contribution makes me elligible to vote on a contest theme? Don't feel bad about taking contributions or "subscriptions" if you are giving something tangible back in return. Davo
