> I'm not sure if charging fees is a good idea. After all, this is a Community Site and everybody here donates free time to help others. 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.

Eric

I for one would like to give something back to the Foxite site via PayPal (except the link is in Dutch and i found it difficult to use)
that way at least the resource might be able to keep going without being a strain on you. I think it can only help the foxpro community
