Thanks to all of you who have been reading the site, carrying the discussions, e-mailing tips, and giving us the encouragement we need to keep going.
A few favors to ask at this time:
First, we like feedback – both honest praise and honest criticism. Let us know what about the site you like and what you don’t like. (As a sub-question: If you read the site, but don’t comment, why not? What can we do to involve you?)
Second, if you’re interested in getting more involved, and becoming one of the crew who can make top-level posts, let us know. We’re always looking for fresh volunteers to help distribute the work.
Third, Scott has so far been hosting the site (not to mention doing all the techie work) out of pocket, and the Google ads recoup only a portion of that cost – he doesn’t complain about the cost, but he ought to. He’s looking at a lifetime hosting package to replace our current deal, and we’d like to ask for donations to help him cover the cost of that. I’ll let him explain the details, but, if you’ve ever had the urge to throw money at the site, here’s a chance to do it.
Thanks again.

One of us will stick up a paypal box or something…
Thanks!

So now it’s burning a hole in my pocket. Can I send it to you, or would it just be a pain in the ass figuring out what to do with it?
Otherwise, I’ll treat myself to a six-pack now, and when you put up the paypal box I’ll drop something in there.

Visually this site design is nice, but the commenting is kind of a pain compared to standard blogging tools. Every time you go to quote a previous response, you have to fix quotes and dashes or they appear garbled.

Turning on html (or limited html) might be possible. We’ve also occasionally talked about moving to Drupal, but I’m not touching that. If George or Brian want to step in and spend an afternoon migrating the site for us, I wouldn’t object.
