We've seen what happens when this site is down. If you have not yet donated I strongly advise you to. There are a LOT of costs related to running a forum of this size and you may think that the advertisers balance it out but I can tell you from first hand experience (running a different and totally unrelated forum) it does not. I'm a lifer here and I'm donating more. I love this place that much. I hope you do too.
