This site does cost me a good amount of money in terms of hardware, energy, hosting/ISP costs, backup media, air conditioning and software licenses. I am running Google AdSense on public pages such as the Archive, Search, Article, Download and FAQ pages. I don't like to have ads on the Forum itself. The revenues from Google AdSense do compensate a little but at the end, this endeavour only costs me money.

I'll open a "Foxite Escrow" account at the bank and publish the routing code so people can deposit monies directly into it, or just send a check to my company address and we'll handle it from there. Then, once a month, we'll send the collected boodle off to you as a check.
