Because that’s not mutinous.

Why not just set up googles adsense banners on your site. Not that difficult to do and it may more than cover server costs.

One of my friends runs a successful personal blog and she generates almost $3,000 a month, and her ads are completely unobtrusive. Also, she can pick and choose her ads, for what she tells me, and she allows advertisements from great mom-and-pop stores and trade-friendly and eco-friendly products. If you do this intelligently, and with heart, you could allow some socially conscious brown businesses to get some customers.

I don’t understand why you don’t allow some ads. Maybe link to Amazon at least. It’d be unobtrusive. You have the traffic; why not get some funding for it? Most people have adbocks on their browsers anyway and never see ads.

I’m sorry to hear you’ve been paying out of pocket, Abhi. I’m happy to donate. Thanks to all of the mutineers for the hard work and years of dedicated community organizing. As for the haters…don’t like what you read here? Try posting something thoughtful to encourage conversation or just start your own blog. That has to be more productive than saying hateful things.

It was not meant to be funny. It was supposed to be ultra-serious. Fundraisers that I contribute to justify me "borrowing" money from my friend when they're excessively inebriated. I wish that I brought with me a credit-card processing device while they're down and out.

Oh - it's totally not funny that gas is $4/gallon.

Moreover, the desi grocery store can't even spell "grocery" is a sad state of Indian-American affairs here.

Intercepting bandwidth is totally sad. One Indian guy stole $38B, and nobody saw one penny of this. OTOH, I intercept a little bandwidth here and there - but only the ones between 4GHz-4.2GHz - and I do so for charity. I'm the Robin Hood of Comcast Customers here in Boston.
