Laffen, take NOTICE of my post. There is this website, www.mod-chip.com. It sells chips for gaming consoles. I have bought stuff from this guy before and he is honest. It is based in austria. Get the banner from his site. He pays three cents per click. There are many banners to choose from, and it is FAST to load. It wont slow the site down much. I use it on my site at www.geocities.com/sanjeevjaya Go there and have a look. I hope that helped.

. I realise my last post didn't add much of particular substance. So to help, I've circulated an email around my staff concerning Esato and its short term funding problems, asking for suggestions.
They are a clever lot (and do this kind of stuff for a living). Anything worthwhile that comes up, I'll post later/tomorrow.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
... we've come up with a few ideas that have not as yet ben mentioned, aimed at short term funding:
1. It has been suggested that as this is a mobile phone site, there must be plenty of old handsets knocking about. I genuinley don't know the answer to this one but do they have any kind of re-sell value? If so, an address to which to send them would be handy. I, personally, have 3 hand sets from the last 18 months which I'd be happy to donate if you can get any value from them... & there must be hundreds more out there among members.
2. Laffen, Its been pointed out that you could perhaps be doing more to make this a high profile campaign. All successful appeals have one thing in common - a target at which to aim for. We suggest a banner on the home page which is updated regularly, stating what is in and what is needed to go to save the site. Keep it up on the home page until there is no more need for it. Don't be embarrassed, its OK to ask. Make it very prominent so people don't forget the problem still exists.
3. The following is a link that pays good money for people willing to provide personal info about themselves for direct mailing purposes. We are not sure on what the situation is outside the UK, but certainly here in England they pay up to the equivalent of $3 for the right kind of name with all associated details:
http://www.consodata.co.uk/whatwedo/yoptin.html
-Maybe worth contacting them and posting up on the site?
...& finally, if all else fails, one joker in the office suggested putting the remaining no. on black at the casino and doubling up!
Seriously though, if we come up with anything else tomorrow, I'll let you know.

I'm gonna donate a small amount each month i am still using the site from now on. The important thing really is that people don't just make donating a one off thing because this problem will keep coming back. I'm sure most of the users who have the ability to donat wouldn't miss a couple of dollars each month !?!?!?!?
