> [@Digitalosophy](#): > > If you don’t mind me asking how/when did that come about 🙂 That happened about a year ago. The site/forums suck more bandwidth than a girl scout troop downloading Britney Spears singles. I did not want to cheapen the site with huge banner ads, popups, etc. I sent (mt) an e-mail asking them if they would entertain the idea of hosting just the site, but they ended up agreeing to host both the site and the forums! I was happy, and I’m sure they are happy via the publicity they receive 🙂 worm - C.O.D., money order, paypal, check, etc. are also accepted! 😛 ---

hmm, I doubt I would pay, I could probably be persuaded to write a useful post for every useless - but I would definately pay money to hunt down anybody who brings kirupa on such a bad idea :bad: ---
