For the first several years, AT Troll paid the full cost of WhiteBlaze out of his own pocket. He never asked for anything in return. Several of us asked if there was a way that we could help with the expense. The opportunity to donate was created so that those who want to help can do so. There has never been any pressure on anyone to donate. Thanks to AT Troll for starting this site and to all of those who donate their time to keep it running smoothly. Those of us who don't donate our time, should help with the expense.
