I mean, at least there certainly have to be web hosting fees, right? I don't know anything about designing/creating/maintaining a site like the Org that gets visited by a bunch of people every day.

I'd love it if Ben fielded this question, but if anyone's had experience with a similar site, I'd love to know what kind of investment it is, in terms of money and resources and work and time.

It seems like kind of an overwhelming 'labor of love' or hobby. Not that I don't think it's worth it, of course.

Didn't Kevin host the site? Either way I'm sure it costs a few bucks as far as data traffic is concerned.

why doesn't Ben post more? Did he post more way back in the day in 02?

No.

actually i've always wondered this too. obviously someone has an elevated electric bill, at the very least.

wonder why we aren't charged dues? i'd pay.

unless, of course, 'ben' & co. are actually aliens, conducting strange social experiments on us here at the ORG. in which case i think i should be receiving a participant's fee

IIRC the PPML email digests were sent by Kevin, but the PPML Web Archive (the forerunner of prince.org) has always been hosted by Ben.

Yes, he did. Way more.

I can hear Dr. Evil saying this right now...

I'd contribute if I could.
