I've signed up for the network and the forum, so I guess it was succesful. I'm sure I'm not the only one. Thanks for your free tools, I use them often. I will be donating to the fund.
Shawn, just a thought, but have you thought of asking for donations with regard real estate on websites for adsense revenue? I wouldn't have a problem with adding the code for your adwords to help raise the revenue for the new servers. Seems logical to me, as asking for donations of cash is fine but many just don't do that. Many more would I am sure donate real estate though. Just a thought I had!
Hmmm... had not thought about that one. Although if anyone wants to do it, feel free to PM me and I'll setup a specific channel for it.
