I frequent various forums that are not shaving related, and some that are, most of which have a voluntary donate button. I don't know how they allocate the funds they take in, but most, if not all, characterize the purpose of the donation as 'to help maintain' the site. SRP had a one time fund raiser, probably 8 years ago or so, to raise money for a new server because the one we had was on its way out.

We could probably use some new hardware, but the main issue is not having skilled volunteers to do the software bug fixes and updates as needed. To improve the features on the site when the owners have something they want to get going, but nobody to institute it. It ain't to get Lynn a new Cadillac. So, not having the volunteers, if we had the funds to do it, we could hire a professional to do the work. Takes money.

I have no idea how much revenue it would take to accomplish these goals, but brighter minds than mine could figure that out I'm sure. We're not talking a whole lot per member either. Whatever your little heart would desire to give. Assuming this ever gets legs and comes to fruition.
