Well, I'm not sure about how much it costs to have the site up and running... but/ I'm sure if people who can afford it subscribed to CT it would be a huge help. it's 20$ a month, so if 5 people sign up each month.. thats 100$, I imagine that would help significantly.
CT is the best coin forum on the net, period. There are others, but many tend to be too "clicky " and have coin snobs. CT has developed a family, not just a random gang of posters...... What ever it takes, I am part and parcel here, I have found a home. CT has done more for me than I can ever do for it, so whatever is needed to keep this site up and running, count me in.
I think that is something like $19.99 for 6 months not 19.99 per month for 6 months, and I'm fairly certain that cointalk takes considerably more than that to run. My line at www.mrbrklyn.com cost about $200 a month to run in of itself.... for example, before any other expense. Ruben
I like Mrbrklyn,s idea of a fundraising auction. We could donate coins and run an auction here or put them on ebay to raise funds.
not just coins. We can give honors out as well, and I have a bunch of matted pictures from my collection. Ruben
Under the law I think it qualifies. Its an activity dedicated to education, which would fit right under the 503.c clause that NYLXS is under as a non-profit. Ruben
Well, that is interesting. I'd be a bit concerned about all the federal regulations that I'd have to comply with if we did that though.
almost nothing. The biggest thing is no politics. And a tax form has to be filled out every year. You need a charter. Ours took about 3 hours to make (and it saved our bacons once anyway in a court battle). Cointalk itself needs a trademark regardless. Either way, a seperate corporation for Cointalk is likely a very good idea so that when you loose money you can deduct it, and if it Makes Money you don't have to make it personal INCOME (talk about a kettle of fish).

Apparently you've removed the ability to have pictures in the signature area. Did I miss the announcement for that? Was it done by design or just the result of doing something else?
