We have no news, so I guess no one has managed to get Bill on the phone or mail.
The regular members who come to SRMZ are basically the same people who have signed up for this alternative forum. Could we not set up a payment system with a secure platform, as Paypal ? Each member would donate $10 every month.
A table would make it possible to see the real amount collected each month. This mandatory donation each month would allow for an long term solution .
If SRMZ returns, a highly visible sticky thread facilitating donations should, in my opinion, be discussed. The current system leaves donation to the goodwill of each member, and it shows that the amounts collected are insufficient.
We also have different financial resources, but considering the time spent at srmz, 10 USD each month is a very reasonable amount. With for example 50 donors agreeing for this amount, 500 USD would be collected every month. If not behind our PC, the time spent somewhere else everyday wld surely cost more than 10 USD ( Bar, restaurant, sport, shopping, petrol to move to see friend, relatives ect..

I see there are 71 members here.If we have registered here, let suppose we don't want to lose SRMZ. Since we are alls at SRMZ and use it to our satisfaction, most of us are core and stable GPLers who wld contribute.
SRMZ and GPLR contain too much data and information, than at the moment, all others websites aren't, in my opinion, an alternative.
Any ideas are very welcome.
