All we want to do is keep around all of this great information that the 'zine guys created and collected. If this means paying for the domain registration, fine. But we'll slap the Daemon News ad banner on there in an attempt to have the site make a few bucks and pay for its own registration. We at Daemon News try to make our activities self-sustaining; we can't just rely on a batch of VC money to keep all the services we provide afloat. That's why we'd put the ads on the page, the same way we put ads on our own sites, in the print magazine, etc.--because we have a business to run, and all of these activities take money. We're not exactly flush with cash; most of us don't even get paid, so we need to regulate money flows very carefully. Hosting a website doesn't cost much, but $20 here and $20 there tends to add up, so having small inflows of money to offset the small outflows helps a lot. I hope that this is an adequate summary of our rationale.=20 Greg --=20 Gregory S.
