Re: donate question
that is the right spot to use for donations, and the site owner is notified of the amt and member that donated. Anything is VERY MUCH appreciated!

On that same note does buying items from the cafepress.com site also help support the site?

Just want to pile on here as the owner of this site. I really appreciate any donations of any amount. The site does cost money to maintain, of course. This past year has been the most expensive to date - some of the cost drivers are:
- Domain renewals
- Software upgrades
- Hosting costs
- Maintenance costs
The amount of traffic on this site has increased with every passing year, but this year saw unprecedented growth:
- The volume has been well over 1MM hits per month since March of 2010.
- 12,492 Unique visitors in January of this year alone!
I'm currently in a situation where I need to upgrade some equipment and software, so donations of any amount would be greatly appreciated. I think it's pretty incredible that we've exceeded 100,000 posts and more than 5,000 registered users!
Folks, that's huge. This year marks the 15th year of this web site. FiatSpider.com has always been a free resource for the Spider community and I intend to keep it that way. With your help and donations, we'll be here for another 15 years. Thanks for the help and support!

Re: donate question
i go to car shows just about every fri here in MD. was wondering if there are any t shirts or hats that would also promote this forum. i was also thinking about a FiatSpider.com dash placques or something (no bumper stickers please). i just went to my local fiat parts dealer and spent $20 for a small fiat keyring. merchandising is big $$$
