I'll play Devil's Advocate. I belong to several forums, which do not ask for contributions. Sites charge sponsors to support their site with advertising. And they run flawlessly. ClubCobra is the least reliable site that I've encountered. Ever. And I've given in the past.

Instead of asking for contributions, why not go to a membership model, where non-members don't get full and/or complete access, but only partial access? One of the other forums that I belong to does charge a fee per year.

Anyway, it's a free country and a free web, and ClubCobra is free. so why do folks like Patrick berate others who don't give voluntarily? That's not right in my book.
