Adverts and donations for me, although the name and shame idea I don't like as I prefer anonimity. How about having bank account details on the site for transfers as paypal take a large percentage (20-30% from memory)

Subscribed sites die IME, not being able to advertise unless subscribed sounded a good idea but looking back I came here originally to place an ad (which I wouldn't have done if I had to subscribe) but found I prefer it here than endless toy out the pram style arguments about cable differencies that are over 50 pages long on the forum I used at the time.

Might be an idea to give people an idea of how much is a good amount to give and post reminder as funds are needed? I think most on here will be happy to support the site as it gives much back IMO.
