Muke, what kind of bill are we looking at? How much is IB traffic costing you? After all, we can chip in, should we need to and thus defray the costs generated by our traffic. BoArthur 16:52, 19 Apr 2005 (PDT)

It's actually not very much--there wont be any fifty-thousand-dollar Wikipedia-style fundraisers any time soon, say. The whole of frath.net costs me about $15 a month, which is affordable even on my fast-food paycheck...
Bandwidth shouldn't be an issue unless participation increases a couple hundredfold, and similar for disk space (we get 2GB disk space and 120GB bandwidth per month, and the wiki currently uses 33MB disk space and an estimated 200MB bandwidth a month). Dreamhost (plug) have been an excellent provider so far. As things go now, the donations link is just for appreciatory gestures. —Muke Tever | 18:14, 19 Apr 2005 (PDT)
