This blogger thingy that I'm on has the ability to find out what 'pages' (articles) people have landed on (and where from sometimes), while most who come to zero hour do it directly there is the occasional certain page people land on depending on what they typed, some via GOOGLE and some deliberately.
It was while i was amusing myself the other day seeing where people had 'landed' when i saw that a certain page had been typed in, the page was about websites asking for donations (dubbed 'the punk police Xmas fund').
I wondered about this and so went to the article myself to read it, and i couldn't help but agree.
When someone puts up a website its because they want to, not because they were made to, doing a website is a personal choice made to fulfill an idea, not a necessary service in need of public funds.
And for that reason i don't think sites have the right to be asking people for money to keep going, if a site wants to make itself better by adding some kind of software that has to be bought then it should come straight out of the website owners pocket, either that or save up for it.
To ask for money for what is in effect a hobby (despite the amount of time someone decides to spend on it) is not right, there is many a punk site that runs very well on the little that it has, and none of them, including ZERO HOUR has the right to ask the general public for money to keep that hobby going.
Remember, you gave your website to the world, it didn't demand it of you.
