Several people have already offered cash to support the forum.
How much are those willing to offer to keep the forum going?

IMHO there should ALWAYS be free content offered since that's always been the spirit of this place.
Depending on the software platform used, there could possibly be different levels of content available for different 'subscription levels'.
Maybe a tiered level structure, it works for a lot of web based content - not just forums.

If not actually contributing money, maybe how much embedded advertising are you willing to put up with?

Let's toss some ideas around - any & all. Go!
BubbaKahuna, What would we be looking at $ wise to be able to follow thru with what Gram is offering? How many hours would it require to do the needed work to continue? Is it possible to start from scratch and not have to convert the forum info to the new options for hosting or is converting from what Gram has been using the only way to keep the content? Would be ok with monetary help but am not sure if there is anything a web pecker like me could do to help with the tech side of things. How many people with knowledge would it take to keep the forum running without it turning into a job? And what kind of monetary input would it take to cover the continued upkeep and operation. I enjoy the forum but have no idea what kind of time and money it takes to keep up and running. Any help I could give with limited knowledge? Also would be OK with purchase of a CD if that is a possibility, maybe a good way for Gram to recoup some of his time and money if nobody picks up the burden. If you can answer some of these questions it might help those of us who have no idea what it takes to do what needs to be done.
