I would rather keep paying a yearly amount as this will help to fund the site longer

Quote from: takemehomegrandma;663868
Somebody (who exactly?) coughed up some $10,000 for buying this site quite easily, but is now asking for *change money* for the server space? I don't understand. Or was the idea to make this some kind of pay-service, to make it a *business* out of it? It won't work. Different levels of paid memberships, etc, yada, yada -- I'll tell you what: I have *already* been a member of this site during *the site's* whole lifetime (almost)! I understand why Wayne would ask for contributions to "the kitty" back then, but I must say the current site owner *does not* come through as some poor dude in need of charity, heck, I don't even have a clear picture who the guy is. And speaking of that, I feel there has been *many other question marks* rising surrounding amiga.org lately. To sum it up - I don't know For What I should pay, I don't know To Whom, and I don't really know Why, I simply don't get your "selling point", so I'll guess I'll pass, sorry...

 
The paid memerbship came in when Wayne was still running things though thats why I been paying a yearaly sub, was originally to support Wayne and the site.  When you put it like that.......
