We've had zero funding issues from inception.

Unlike other sites that way over-spend and shut down because of it.

I'd say saidit's finances are actually brilliant compared to these other sites that have it as their Achilles heel and are always one paycheck away from being shut down. We actually have stability because of low costs. That's why I don't need to continuously beg for donations (which drives people away, btw)

Apparently M7 has a gig that affords him the luxury of supporting this site for the first 2-3 years until the donations rolled in.

That's a really weird way to phrase my having an extra $400 over the course of a year.

I have to salute you for keeping costs minimal. I suppose even I could focus on a $400 project. I think I spend that or more each year on digital hoarding hard drives. And I suspect my garden will be much more to start this year.

Plus the time and effort.

Regardless, if you made the "donate" more prominent then you could fulfill your coding wishlist by hiring code cowboys and such. I suppose if it ain't broke...

If we are ever in financial trouble I will be sure to move the donate button to a more obvious place
