Gotcha. Thanks for the insight. I'm definitely curious to see how well the "donate to keep the lights on" model works out. It's likely that the people joining right now are passionate and enough are willing to donate, but we'll see if that trend works out. I think it could, with the more specific instances. Probably people are more willing to foot the bill for a topic they are passionate about, rather than for a bigger, more general instance. Anyway, we'll see!
