If you feel you MUST have your own server and the
whole nine yards, there is only one solution.
Pass the hat.
Yes, that means that Furries might have to pay for
something they like for a change. I know that makes a
lot of you cringe, but the paltry sum of $2-$5 (or
more from everyone (to start) and then $2 a month to
keep it going.
The key here is not to charge too much, because if you
do, you shut out people who live on limited means.
Some of these Furry Pay sites I've seen in the past
that want say $14.95 a month are living in a drug
induced bout of megalomania.
We can afford a home for FFF, and all these harassed
Furry groups, but the key is that *all of us* have to
give *a little bit* **consistently** over the long
haul.
I still say that if everyone who likes FN sent them *a
buck* each(No memberships, no forms, no garbage) just
out of sheer gratitude, they would be out of trouble.
If we as a group can get together more than a thousand
of us, for some convention or other, we can handle
this problem, and FN's too.
The question here, friends, is do we have the moxy to
step up and do what needs doing?
Well?
