It seems to be the fate of most good and positive services on the net to become too expensive to maintain once they reach a large audience that actually benefits from them. If there was some way to set it up so that the costs were spread over all users, as a tiny part of their normal net access bill, then something like this could thrive forever. But when one person gets stuck paying for it, everybody is hosed, despite some who make voluntary donations. (This is why the government doesn't run on charitable contributions.)

I will really miss the Zetec forum. It has certainly been financially valuable to me at times... but then, without contour.org I would never have caught the mod bug, so financially I'm probably no better off. smile
