    Maybe this would be more of a 'suggestions forum' type of question, but how about having a paid-subscription-to-codeproject service? The only thing extra I'd ask from the subscription is that it would be hosted on a faster server, because CP has been dog-slow for me for weeks now :(

        They are making improvements. It's getting better every day, and it will probably get a lot better once they move to .net. We all feel the pain equally now. -Andy Brummer

            Well the content can stay free, just that subscribers would get some benefits. And if I want to help and I'd have to buy a $1000 widget and $10 would go back to CP, that would be quite a waste...

Chris got us some shiny new servers in the past couple of weeks, though, so I doubt that it's a problem with the CP infrastructure. I often run a trace when CP is "dog-slow" and almost always the slowdown happens in the telus network; the packets scoot along nicely from here to Texas on the espire net, then slide over to Chicago on the qwest system, then line up in a lengthy queue at the border, waiting for telus to notice them. That's not something a subscription can fix. Heard in Bullhead City - "You haven't lost your girl -
              you've just lost your turn..." [sigh] So true...

Mostly in the last couple of weeks, etc... About your time frame. Nick This are my own opinions. You know the rest.....

                    Well they did hire Datagrid Girl. I think it would be pretty mean to make her change her name to "Homegrownpagedtable Girl", so hopefully they'll move to .NET. :)
