Default Donations to make the forums faster

How about setting up a paypal type donation to upgrade the servers? I'm sure a lot of people would be willing to donate some money to make these boards faster.

It's horribly horribly slow. Is this site hosted, co-located, or other?

Sorry, I ain't donatin jack. I'm sure Takao is making a profit off this board. Considering the number of vendors and the monthly fees they are charged. All that would happen by donating money is increase his profit margin. No thanks.

Correction, you can complain all you want. Doesn't mean it's gonna accomplish anything though.

The point is we can complain, I don't go here often because the speed is rather annoying.

I don't know what kind of person the webmaster is but if he's at all honest then we could just tell him that the donations are to make the boards after, NOT for him to pocket.

No. If I would have gotten this lousy web site, I'd be bringing in several $K a month from advertisers and sponsors.
