How is this forum going to stay affloat? I think you should do a paypal thing, and put it in some kind of escrow/ company account and sell advertising or something. I'm thinking text links like google's, and put in forums where they are most effects (meaning AO would be a catchall so as to curtail stupid discussions there ;) ) possibly banner ads in good places. Let me know if you need ideas, or anything I've done marketing for crap sites like www.austin360.com they have some clever schemes.
Tho forums I bet would be a different and more effective ballgame. Mainly, because of the precise numbers and constant traffic of the same people there have got to be parties with goods out there looking for an outlet such as this. As long as you keep total control! and not go through an outside service maybe? I don't know of all the logistics, but its only a suggestion and completely void-able. And with the whole appleinsider.org thing that could easily make for some wierd situations.
Anyways just a thought, I hate to see all this hardwork for free, tho socialism is great and all, i'm sure you guys have families and such. Keep up the great work!
