*shrug* Think whatever you want, but it isn't the economy that's extending what used to be a 10 day process to ~80 days. There's a much more fundamental issue than that, and it's the one I've described.

Our longest FReepathon is 55 days, thankyouverymuch, and as a matter of fact, in the old days, our financial goals were $40K, then $60K and now we're at $94K which includes the cost of new servers to handle our heavy traffic!

FWIW, we have almost $40K in Monthly donations, so you have NO idea what you're spewing!

I didn’t know how much the costs had risen since I’ve not been with the team a long time. Don’t count the days either, just work. :-)

If you say so. I concluded given the presence of this post that the current funding model isn't working or else why would alternatives be tossed out? It appears to me that revenues can't cover expenses. Now in my business, if that happened I would look to change the way I'm serving the market. Perhaps your experience differs.

So monthly donations are bringing in 480K a year?

So you have not answered me. You stated that monthlys are bring in 480K a year. Is this a fact?
