It is a free site, Kelly wants it to stay that way. TKR, you dont have to pay anything to be here. You do ask a good question tho. I know several reasons why a person might want to contribute if they want to help out.
Why would anyone want to contribute to a site that is this poorly ran, and is down so much? Seems like a waste of money...
If you're curious, the hosting for the site runs me about $1200 per year on a VPS server and we are a very busy site, nearing 40 million hits in December. We run roughly about 200-250 gig per month bandwith which is quite a bit for a site that only serves text pages. We don't have file downloads here.
Obviously the downtime is an inconvenience and I do apologize for that.
Is this forum always down so much? Someone either needs to learn how to admin the software, or the server... That, or someones needs to stop being so cheap and get better hosting... I have never seen a forum with half the down time this one has...
