      It was expensive because many developers started on sublinks, and I’ve been paying annual subscriptions. Next month it’ll be less (depending on how many join)

      Yeah… I wasn’t expecting it to cost so much. It’s near the price of the hosting of all the services combined.

      It was high for just this month because I bought a ton of annual subscriptions for new developers. It’s going to be zero for a while now.

    Can you put your cost/loss as a graph on the side bar where the donation buttons are? Wonder if that would help some.

    One other thing, i would not show the YTD as a large number like that can actually prevent people from donating as they will feel its hopeless.

    Also, still offering free hosting on my home server, if/where it helps.
