"Provided a reasonable number of people contribute, amounts in the
region of $20-$30 would certainly not be turned down.

I need to pull in something like $400 in the first place. After that,
hopefully the long term sponsorship deals will keep the page afloat."

It seems to me that at least 20 people would be willing to contribute
$20 on average (some more, some less), getting you the $400 you need.
Perhaps we should post a "pledge list" message? Everyone willing to
send $20-ish could post their name as a follow-up, then we would know
if we could reach our goal & everyone would send in their money. Like
a public television pledge drive. Because I bet some people are
afraid that they will send you money, you still won't have enough, and
they will be out $20 for nothing (or else you will have all the extra
work of sending contributions back - what a pain). Do we have time to
do it that way? When exactly are we kicked off the server?? It
wasn't immediate, I see, as we are still here to exchange these
messages.

Just a suggestion. I think we are confused about whether we are
supposed to send in money right now, or if other options are still
being explored. I hereby pledge my support in the amount of $25. Let
my know if you need it STAT, or if the no-risk idea above might work.
(I will charge $25 for my next mehndi.) :)
