I don't have a paypal account...is there any other way to donate?

With 400 members joining this month, we would have had our upgrade, and then some.

I think not! How many of the 400 would have paid even a pound? Very few, if any, I suggest. Also, if 400 people really joined, where are they?

I used the Times online website quite  a lot until they started charging. Now I read the news elsewhere like a few other million people. I support the idea of revenue from banner advertising, rather than from charges on people reading the web pages. I could pay ?5 for information gleaned, but I'd feel it would be fair to send in a bill for a lot more as 'professional fees' for advice posted. Someone like CA should be paid ?100s or ?1000s for all the recipes he's posted.

Hi George,

You are quite correct George, as soon as people see any kind of fee, they instantly switch off unfortunately.  I'm just trying to think of way's to raise the money needed to keep the site in good shape, that's all.

Someone like CA should be paid ?100s or ?1000s for all the recipes he's posted.

Maybe but he did post the recipes freely for all to enjoy, and we really don't want to get into "Paying for recipes".

My train of thought on this one would be, a member joins the site on a 30 day trial period.  If they are happy with what they see, then one off joining fee of maybe a pound or 50p, after the 30 days is up.  If they are not happy, they simply go there own way! 

Again, this wouldn't guarantee revenue for the site, as they could simply just print off what they need within the 30 day period, and let their trial expire, without a thanks, kiss mi arse, or goodbye!  But maybe ten members will stay, and if we got that every month, then it's a little bit each year towards upgrades.

I dunno, any thoughts?
