I feel the same way Dan. The PM's every month, sometimes two or three in a row were pretty disgusting. Other sites are up front with the message and let you know they need the monthly donation, but at least the funds and costs are transparent. The Trader's Den never grovels for money, and only once since I have joined have I noticed a highlight on the donation tab indicating a critical need. So for anyone to see the grace with which this place goes about paying the bills, here is a link. It spells out the details in real time, without even a hint of pressure.

The place needs a few bucks, but no worries. The bills get paid silently.
Note to self: Send $20 bucks on Monday.
