Definitely It's a Shame

Hey everyone! Rowan here.

First I want to say thank you to the people who recently contributed to the site to help us out. The help is very appreciated.

As you know, I no longer have the extra time to work on the site that I used to have. Kelly has been keeping up the schedule and blog on her own time out of the goodness of her heart. I do still pay about $250 a year to keep the site up.

It would be really nice if I could at least recoup the cost of keeping the site up and be able to give Kelly some kind of recompense for the time and effort that she puts in. I could justify neglecting some of my other responsibilities to make time to work on the site if it wasn't already costing me more than I can afford.

I've never intended to make a killing off the site, but when I can't at least make back the cost of maintenance, it's very discouraging. And I'm sure that Kelly is beginning to feel that her efforts are unappreciated. With more help, we could put more time and effort and money into the site and make it better, help it grow.

But when bands aren't even willing to donate a few bucks toward a site that has given them years of free promotion, that kind of growth just isn't going to happen. And that's a shame.
