I'm perfectly fine with $1/yr, but that sort of thing will be tough to manage. ?Exactly who should pay? ?Casual browsers interested in the Bitx? ?Somebody who built one from scratch 10 years ago who takes it camping once a year and occasionally checks in? ?Is this on the honor system, or do we keep a list somewhere of who paid so we can hound them off the list if they are regularly asking questions? ?Who collects the money, and what happens if there's a shortfall/surplus? ?Getting 120 people to pass a dollar on through paypal every year for the next decade sounds like a real hassle, especially if interest starts to die a bit. ?The hfsigs pc board is a relatively new thing, but once the issues are sorted out and a wiki has answers easily available, traffic here may subside. ?What's the new limit, and how do we avoid exceeding it when folks start uploading high-res videos of their latest expedition?
Accessing all the old photos and files from yahoo is easy enough, and everything could be archived on a thumb drive in case yahoo goes down. ?Removing photos from groups.io that are more than a year old would solve this for a very long time if folks show some restraint. ?Long term, we could use the wiki to curate what gets saved in files and photos here on groups.io. ??
