I don't know much about websites and all, but I guess she does bring
up a good point, aren't there any servers out there that can do it for
free for the same quality that Jeremy wants to do?

I think that if we appreciate this forum, then we should support
Jeremy. Heaven knows that he doesn't have to run and maintain this
forum AND website, and we should contribute any way we can to show our
appreciation. If I am not the one that can tell him where to go for a
low-cost or free web-server, then I'll be glad to open my checkbook. I
know I've learned enough $valuable$ information off this forum to get
me going once I start my own business. If Jeremy can use sponsers to
mitigate the costs of running the forum on a new server, then great.
But right now he's asking for support out a few of us that want to
help. I believe he deserves it.

If YOU don't want to give, then don't. He's not breaking your arm for
it. I think it's bad manners, though, to try and herd people from this
forum into your own. Instead of trying to divide the group, why don't
you use your energy to try and help Jeremy make it better for ALL of
us?

Or is it just the fact that you are maybe envious and want to have a
forum of your own?

I don't mean to sound critical, but there are some rude posts out
there today and Jeremy deserves none of it!
