No, this is an issue of current usage. If they were only on the day they registered, they are only taking up a small amount of storage (for their account.) This an issue of the priority a service provider gives your site (thus the number of simultaneous connections it allows) and how much is paid for that service.
Jeff has maintained this site, much out of the goodness of his heart and the love of VW for MANY years...unless something changes, in the area of income, this is going to be the theme around here.
While I don't want to speak for him, I know from Jeff's previous posts, he does not want to make NB.ORG a "pay as you go" site. It is clear from the changes which he made with the
VB upgrade and server switch, that while Member Sponsers got some "perks" it is still a free site. Jeff would be taking on quite a bit of risk if he upgraded now based on a donations with no plan for a steady regular income. While it is an unfortunate situation, I understand Jeff's position. He, like the most of the rest of us, is not independently wealthy, and keeping this thing small is the best bet, because if it grows to something bigger, and the money which allows that growth dries up, the ORG will cease to exsist at all.
There either needs to be a steady and sustainable source of $$$, or this is the situation we must live with.
As far as registering the chat...there are other options, which apparently work as several ORG'ers have reported. Give Jeff a rest on that. He is not obligated to provide web based chat at all, folks!! Also, if you need to chat, there are other places you could go. Just my $.02...
