	I am in agreement with Mercifull and SteelViper: MedivaBlvd sounds nice, but (while I don't want to burn bridges just yet) I think we should hold off on Wikia. --[[User:The Merovingian\|The Merovingian]] <sup>([[Special:Contributions/The Merovingian\|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/The Merovingian\|E]])</sup> 08:24, 9 August 2006 (CDT)		I am in agreement with Mercifull and SteelViper: MedivaBlvd sounds nice, but (while I don't want to burn bridges just yet) I think we should hold off on Wikia. --[[User:The Merovingian\|The Merovingian]] <sup>([[Special:Contributions/The Merovingian\|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/The Merovingian\|E]])</sup> 08:24, 9 August 2006 (CDT)

	:I agree as well. We should only resort to advertising as a last resort, and I would also hope we could retain control over that aspect of the site. The Mediablvd offer seems nice, would help defray hosting costs, and doesn't involve any sacrifice in control on our part or Joe's. Wikia should be avoided except as a last resort. Joe, would you consider organizing a fundraiser to be displayed on the sitenotice? I think we could probably raise enough money to cover hosting costs. --[[User:~~Peter Farago~~\|~~Peter Farago~~]] 13:20, 9 August 2006 (CDT)		:I agree as well.

	Ok, i've looked at the Finances you have given for the hosting of the site and only by glancing i can save almost $20 immediatly. If you could give some specifications that the server needs, filespace and bandwidth usage I will be able to do some research into cheaper alternatives. Also do you know the average number of unique hits per month to the Wiki?
