gay proposal by moremedsplz 04/06/2003, 2:18pm PDT
I posted this in another thread and I think it may have been overlooked because it was so deeply buried in a gay exchange. Apologies for the repeat if it did get read and ignored. If this seems out of context, it is (hopefully) because I just copied/pasted from my original post.

As player/coach SB has been placed in a somewhat untenable position. It is not fair to expect anyone to abide by self imposed rules of conduct while at the same time donating money and effort to provide a platform from which they are repeatedly criticized by others.

Before this site was even up there was talk of setting up donations to pay for overhead costs. I think now would be a good time to re-examine that idea -- at least to pay for bandwidth. While Chet's actions on OMM were certainly childish, I don't think anyone can fault his reasoning in pulling the plug on OMM given his perception of the situation. Now I am not calling anyone Chet here (this time), but how hard is it to imagine a similar scenario occurring here?

In my opinion, the group effort approach/philosophy has provided surprisingly good results to this point. Contrary to this, SB's and V's generosity notwithstanding, the donation of bandwidth and hardware are being provided by only one faction and I think this can only be a bad thing in the long run.

Here then is my Marshall plan presented only in an effort to prompt further conversation:
Bandwidth should be paid for or at least subsidized by donations.
The server should be moved off site to an ISP.
Umm, there should be a third component
I'll fork over $50
