I'm quite new here, but i'll throw my 2cents:

Selling stuff would mean heavy cash managment, and time to deal with shipping and handling, customer service etc...

My favorite solution would be to ask for donations (with a goal, as you did for the server). I wouldn't mind giving 10 bucks, but i know that won't buy a nanobit of bandwit.

One banner on top of each page is ok with me as long as they are "clean". Not aggressive, flashing, etc... The ones the games sites of IW are good.

The final solution would be to create a membership of some sort (access with no-popup, possible goodies)... But i think many may flee from this, and few new members will ever join.

Finally, one silly thought:
We could organize an online bingo to raise funds. [img]smile.gif[/img]
Unfortunatly, i think a permit is required for such a thing.
