Let's think about this creatively! We all seem to be in agreement that the Org needs better tuning. In the best of worlds, there would be a dozen programming Prince fan wizards in the same city as Ben (don't even know where he and his family live now) but that's highly unlikely to be the case. So, I pose these questions and maybe "we" could approach Ben. 
1. What programming skills are needed to deal with the Org's running? 2. What hardware is needed (apart from the server/s it's on)? 3. Who on the Org has both the skills, time and desire to do this? People, get to thinking!  | |

You could easily rent the server space, which in turn eliminates the hardware problem. The problem lies with TIME. You could get a great coder to do a great site (hell, I know 4 or 5), but the time involved in maintenance afterwards is phenomenal. | |

 I'm aware of that. My second thought was whether a membership fee, annual or monthly, would be enough to hire an at least semi-professional person, maybe a student who has the time to spare and the knowledge as well as getting the opportunity to make extra $$.  | |

I don't understand the question.  But Marge! What if we chose the wrong religion? Each week we just make God madder and madder. | |

You can make the tea. I don't have any arms or legs.  How am I going to lift the kettle? But Marge! What if we chose the wrong religion? Each week we just make God madder and madder. | |

Bear in mind I don't have a cock, either.  But Marge! What if we chose the wrong religion? Each week we just make God madder and madder. | |

I do have programming skills yes, but nothing to do with web or database programming, alas. Maybe an idea to ask Ben if he's okay with it first? If so, I may know someone who at the least has the skills, unsure of his time though [Edited 7/9/06 12:17pm] You don't scare me; i got kids | |

I'm not really on the Org enough for it to be bothersome to me, but obviously there are a lot of people who are bothered. The major problem is time, or that's what we presume Ben doesn't have either. I hope he makes a comment when he sees this thread, that's all I can do. | |
