I don't want it to seem like we're beggers... I really love this place and I want what's best for it. I'm willing to give my time, effort, and (if need be) hard earned cash to make it happen any way I can.
I've been trying to get sponsors. I used to have sponsors. They all dried up a couple years ago. The novelty of the car has worn off and I don't seem to be able to get sponsors anymore. Everyone once in a while I'll get one for a couple months, but it's certainly not reliable enough that I can sign a hosting contract based on it.

I really do appreciate your wanting to help. Running a size that does 60GB of traffic every month is a high dollar fare. Hell, some of the newspapers my company has don't do that much traffic on their sites. If you have ideas of how to afford it, I'd love to hear them. But, I assure you I've already tried advertising. It won't work for this site anymore.
