The last time this forum received a donation from someone i believe was over a year ago? Which basically means the forum is completely dependant on their reserves/ad revenue. (albeit that the reserves are quite large.)
I just saw the thread about getting the Donator status
If you donate 10 BTC (which pays for about a month of hosting), you get donator status:
Obviously this would pay for much more then one month of hosting now
No wonder that the last donation has been so long ago.
