    As long as you realize that it is not 'normal'. You have to pay a deposit if you rent a place in europe too. But I have never payed a deposit for something else.

    Here's some very valid excuses. No plastic or PayPal

    I was hoping on
    -Drafts
    -Money Transfer
    -Cheque

    Why not PM Dave and ask him if you can send him a check? Or a money order? I got a money order with no fee once. I am sure you can too. Stop with the excuses.

    excuses for what?, its a free service no one is freloading or any such thing.
    If the owner feals his users are freeloading, he can at any minut close the site or revoke all acount and setup some form of p2v

    Well no one is obligated to pay for SF, however the existance of this forum depends on us... it's not cheap to run this forum.

    I just have a problem with people coming up with every excuse to not pay other than just admitting they do not want to pay and do not care if SF dies.

    Oh.. well I cannot find the address... it was directly to the hosting company. However, from what I have read Dave changed the hosting company.

    Yes. Paypal is accepted. In fact, is practically the only accepted method.

    Dave refuses to set up any method to donate other than online.

    I seem to recall March or early April being the time of the request for funds.
    The time mentioned was a year. 1100 for a year.
    So. Seeing as how the forums are still up and running months later without reaching its goal as of yet, it seems that we have until March or April of 2007. And then the calls for the next year's pledge drive must commence....

    Maybe.
    Dave is notoriously tight-lipped.
    Practically mute.

    Cheap is a relative term.

    I could write a check equal to 10 years site operation in a heartbeat.

    No pain.

    But that would oblige the site to even just the appearence of thankful deference to the very maw of Capitalist exploitation that the communitity's members fear more than being slapped silly by their mommies.

    I have to be sensitive to the needs of others, so I choose to abstain from complicating your lives unnecessarily.

    Actually, it woudn't oblige anything. Unless that were a prerequisite condition of your donation, that is.

    Insults so quickly?
    Wow.

    So. You accept that there is no obligation to defer should you choose to awe us with your mighty checkbook?

    Blowhards are funny.

    There is no law that says you can't look a gift horse in the mouth, buddy boy.
    Is there?

    Where have you been? I've been a chronic violator of opposing invested self-image since forever.
    Yes.
    Thus, I laugh at your offer.
    You're just another poster boy for the concept of my not bothering to give.
