Well, the current "system" for contributing to the site has drawbacks.

First, what happens is Z doesn't squawk for money until he needs it -- by then we turn around and see he's buried by a 350 lb. Andre the Giant $250 monthly bill bearing down on him and the referee already is slamming down the 1-count (out of 3, mind you ). So, we rush and the first 20 or 25 people to cough up some dough get the $250 covered -- for THIS month.

Ultimately the law of averages will catch up. Meaning, sooner or later Z will make an "all hands" call for money and we will all be too slow or too tight with our budgets, and the site will fall short of the needed funds. Once or twice this happens, and Z stresses his budget to make up the shortfall. Three or four times this happens, and Z can't make up the shortfall and IWF goes bzzzt.

Some sort of monthly/planned donation will help by providing insurance against this current system -- which you must admit really relies on our collective conscious. Anywho, Z mentioned a little while ago he is putting something in place. Let's wait and see what it is.
