We did something very similar only about five years ago actually, collecting donations for a new server. I prefer to donate items to members or especially to community-driven giveaways and/or events, and donate time/energy to helping new folks on the forum, taking care of items that need attention on the site, etc. You can also support the vendors who advertise on SRP

It is an admirable resolve to run a free site. But as Nelson Rockefeller (former Governor of NY, and Vice President of the USA) said many years ago, "There is no such thing as a free lunch."
Agreed. And regardless of any fundraising efforts we undertake, it's really up to those who hold the keys to figure out how to make the site run with free membership
