The money is coming from the community, which is why progress is slow. People don't have much money. It doesn't mean we should sell the soul of the project for a quick buck. Rome wasn't built in a day.

Rome wasn't built for free either, we need some sort of financial backup. Even if it isn't advertising something needs to be in place.

Yes, but this place is electronic and exists in an aether. It's possible to do at minimal costs.

There's no such thing as the aether. It exists on other people's computers, which they want to be paid to use.
