As a programmer myself, I can see the amount of work mk has put into developing and running the site. I'd like the site to remain the way it is, an interesting and engaging aggregator with a high standard of discussion. I'd also like to reward mk for his work developing the site. Is there a paypal I can donate to? An amazon wishlist? Let me know!
mk is doing this in his free time if I am not mistaken (along with some of his other friends, like thenewgreen. reference ). I take it that mk does the coding and ideas come from the community and those friends.
I am sure a lot of people would love to donate. I recently made a post about hubuski fundraising all together. Every seems friendly here, why not create a charity section and donate money for badges.
