Why not require people to make a donation to access the Classifieds? Keep the board free for those that are really only browsing, keeps the sketchy sellers out of the classifieds, and generates some upkeep money. The donation would only have to be $10 or so, maybe make it a yearly ‘subscription’ to prevent the die out of funds.

Another idea is why not make every user donate $1 once a year to view the forums. If anyone bitches about $1 then we don’t want them on the forums anyway, since you can find that by searching your laundry and couches. If even half the members pay the $1 a year it’ll greatly help the upkeep of the site.

Hosting does not equal owning. Hosting is storing files, thats it.

Singh you want to come in here and explain why you’ve started the drama? Why you have a problem with a cheap, reliable, affordable hosting? Why you want to quit if Technoic Media hosts Shift? Why is there no paypal button still?

To help clarify this to people who are unaware of the details of hosting and what cost go into it:

Every website needs a place to “host” Basically all the files, data, communication that happens within a website needs to be stored. The more active a website is the more “hosting” it needs, including a larger pipe (basically an internet connection that won’t bog under load) and that can be $$. Secondly the server needs to have the right hardware/software to deal with huge amounts of data (pictures, videos, code). Both the hardware and software needs to be maintained and THAT is the biggest expense. If there weren’t people like Singh that were willing to administer the server/website, Shift wouldn’t exist.
