I wonder if we could do semi annual fundraising drives such as they do on NPR (National Public Radio), with the notable difference that it would be conducted by members. I would volunteer to coordinate it. At predetermined times each year, I would start a thread asking for donations, instead of Max having to do it. I would announce a goal, give daily updates, terminate the thread when we pass the goal. That way Max could set a budget, we get it done and go on with Mudcatting. I could send a PM to members letting them know the pertinent details such as goal, status of the funds, etc. All out in the open, we count on it happening, and away we go. Rough idea, but what do you think?
