Right now it&#8217;s being operated out of the pocket of a couple people on disability payments, which isn&#8217;t a lot.  We&#8217;re already paring down everything else we can (Second Life, etc) to keep up with the current economic crisis.  We&#8217;re getting no other money right now.  If we want to stay up (especially in high-bandwidth time periods), we are going to need help with it.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s paypal and other methods of paying on the <a href="http://www.autistics.org/">front page of the site</a>.</p>
<p>(As usual lately, there are a lot of offline reasons that I haven&#8217;t been posting a lot and have even been having trouble even keeping up with the comments.  I know some people&#8217;s comments are being thrown into the spamfilter and I&#8217;m doing my best to retrieve those when able to keep up with the comments at all.  I&#8217;m operating at full energy capacity at all times lately, so if I&#8217;m not getting to something, that&#8217;ll be why.)</p>
