Since you brought it up, here's the HSers financial overview. The budget is pretty tight. Hosting is our biggest cost and will cost $770.00 for the upcoming year. There are sometimes other miscellaneous expenses, but hosting is by far the largest.

In the past 12 months, we received very close to $800 after PayPal took it's cut. The year prior was about $980 (IIRC) after fees, so the trend is downward as expected.

So while we're not in jeopardy of closing down, there will probably be a shortfall this year. If anyone is thinking about becoming a site supporter, go right ahead!
