I don't want to rain on the parade here but should we users of OO be making any donations or something? I love the forums and am an original GGer so I just want to know how long before we might need to donate a dues?

The guy who's got the business end of everything is currently giving away free web-hosting deals. I'm pretty sure that financially everythings well in the green for our little site.Hispanicgamer wrote:I don't want to rain on the parade here but should we users of OO be making any donations or something?

But I'll defer to anything Rip has to say on the issue.

Everything is covered from a current overhead view. As The Meal pointed out, I'm getting my hosting stuff rolling, and you will be seeing a banner ad soon hopefully, support of that business will definately provide insurance for the continued livliehood. Not that any is needed.
The combined management group is currently working on a legal structure that will be agreeable to those involved and then there will almost certainly be efforts to generate some small amount of revenue to fund contests and ensure the sites ability to remain viable even upon the demise of myself or others. The desire is to make the site independant of any single carbon based bag of water
At this point the most important thing we can all do is continue to spread the word and continue actively supporting the community spirit that has managed to bring so many of such diverse background together in discussion.

Then we're talking about multiple server redundancy, some EMP hardened bunkers, numerous emergency generators and probably a server on the moon. That may take some $$$ so we better come up with some good t-shirts or bumper stickers to sell!Rip wrote:
