Hey guys. As you may or may not know, we're currently running a donation drive. With the increasing traffic coming to DaniWeb, we're currently investigating the idea of actually purchasing a second dedicated server, so that we can have one server for Apache/PHP and another server for MySQL. Currently, a donation entitles you to numerous community benefits. However, I have been toying with the idea of an ad-free version of the site. I am just looking basically for a rough estimate of whether this would be worth it. Thanks!

Jump to Postmy apologies.. the cost is now less than 10 viente white mochas.. annually
or one a month.
Jump to Post$5 is fair but access to ad-free would be a real incentive. Please add credit card payment!
