Sorry for revisiting this ancient post, but... I think it'd soon come to the point where the domain, forum software, hosting, and bandwidth woudl be paid up until the early 2050's . possibly within a week.
I dunno how many times i would have paid BIG dollars (hundreds at least) to get a piece of code written to make a deadline and be the 'hero' for my client.
And once the above are all paid for, it is just a short step to becoming nothing more than another codeforhire site.
Personally, I'd be willing to donate just to ensure that the site keeps going. I know a few others would, too. however, I think it'd start to compromise the 'feel' of the site almost immediately if it became a code for hire site... i know that I for one would lose interest really fast.
There's my dual-core pennies.

Well I don't think I've ever used it (can't remember anyway) but I like the idea of being able to say "You get what you pay for!" when I really screw something up.

Just to chime in here, intesting site TNO, not sure if that would be a way to go but interesting. And I agree with DS that doing anytype of code-for-hire stuff would change the feel of the site. More people would withhold the code so they could get paid and the free flow would stop. I have been here since 2003 and have learned a ton and that would not happen for new scripters. With that said, I do not think the mysterious AdminKoe has any plans for the switch.
Edit: Oh yeah, if there was a donate button I would donate. But, putting up a donate button can also change the "feel" of a site and some people may not post their questions.
