    Crowdfund it mate. Allows people who can, to contribute more than those who can’t. You’d cover it in no time.

    Great idea. I would contribute, and doesn't put any demand on those that couldn't afford it.

    You should just be able to renew support or you used to and that’s around $55 - again would be happy to contribute something either way.

    I've said this for years.

    Gally, just open put a donation link up and give people the option. It's up to them, but with the amount of time people spend on here and the amount we get out of it, I think you would be surprised.

    You could even offer little perks, like a paid only forum where the obviously superior can slag off the tight arses!

    I'd be happy to contribute.

    I'm a member of another forum, and we pay a tenner a year to help towards costs. Think there's about 80 or so that do it - no idea if it covers costs or owt like.

    You should charge per spelling mistake. You’d be able to retire in a couple of months :D​

    Next year could do something with the FPL league perhaps? Get a pool together to cover the costs and then the winner of the league gets the rest or goes to a chosen charity? Bit of fun too!

    I’m willing to contribute like through patreon, that’s something to put out there - the price of a a coffee con Leche every week, not much to ask. But I would like a shiny star against my name to show my contribution and therefore the higher validity of my posts(joke).
