Hey people.
Has anybody who has sent mails, recieved any back from SE?
Anyone who hasn't donated ( and has the ability to do so
) should be feeling very guilty!

Laffen,
Some people may not agree with this, but when did you ever get anything worth having for free?
I would suggest you make Esato a paysite.
Charge $1/month for access. There are now in excess of 10,000 registered Esato members. If a 1/3 of these subscribe then you are most of the way to finding the $4000 dollars a month you need.
The nice thing about that is that for each member it is only $12/year. Hardly likely to break the bank for any of us. You can keep asking for donations and if you get the same response that you have had so far it will be gone in a couple of weeks anyway.
Then you can investigate advertising to make up the shortfall.
If the number of people who want to pay is less than currently required you will have driven down traffic by making it a paysite anyway. It should meet your needs as far as keeping the site alive.
I know you feel that something like this should be free for all to use. If the economics allowed it then that would be a fantastic idea. They don't, you are skint and will have to close it soon. So bite the bullet and charge for the content.

I agree too,cus the actual info and help that we all get is free is'nt it,so 1$ or 1£ in UK a month is well worth it.
I spend at least 2 hours a day here including on my phone,what would we do without ESATO,got to be the best info site for mobiles.
Also stop putting pics on the site and just use hyperlinks.

if it is made into a pay site, all the users under 18 will not be able to access it.

Agree with $1 per month. With the huge library inside ESATO, no other forum can compare.
