I am with you 100% Scott, but even if 20 of us "promise" to send Jeff $20 a month for the site, so he can upgrade service, what happens when ten of those twenty buy Toyotas (GOD FORBID) and forget about VW, let alone Beetles?? Would you be willing to sign a contract for a year with a service provider not knowing if those 20 people have the same commitment to the site as you? I love the ORG too, but cannot see putting my personal finances on the line like that.

I think the sponsors have dried up...Jeff might have a different answer, but I am afraid that is the case...and again, same problem...you get a sponsor for six months...what happens when they are not happy with the traffic generated by their ads...they pull them, and you are obligated to the service provider again.
