I think Ruud (nor anyone else) is willing to set up an bureaucratic administration with members and who has paid what. So I think anybody who can and wants to should just transfer a few euro's/dollars/yens/lires/fluxusbucks to the iuoma bank/paypal account. Ruud can see how long we can be members with this and ring the bell when it's gone.
When this will be the solution, I'm willing to spend a few euro's.

Ruud, thanks for making donations more viable via English! That was a very speedy response! I just made the promised donation.

$19.95 a month for ning?!!! Does that come with a free blow-job and car-wash?! FUCK ning! Good bye and so long old fellow ning. There is more than enough advertising on these ning pages to support the web site. If they charge a dollar I am out of here and I will see you all in the MAIL. Stamps yes, a subscription to ning no way in Hell!

I am willing to make a donation to keep us here. Other groups are having the same issue. We can do these if we value the site.

A membership fee might be the way to go, however, we'd have to take into account that some members might not be able to afford a fee, temporarily or permanently (out of work, "fixed income") so we might have to think about a graduated fee. We did something like this for a local non-profit I belong to, where they never charged a membership but anyone could be a member, though they always needed money. When my son and I joined the board, we developed little membership cards and asked everyone for a membership fee, starting at $15 per year, with check off boxes where people could give more. WELL, it worked. People gave a minimum of $15, but some gave more, and liked having the membership card (which was nothing fancy.) I'd be willing to support with a membership donation. I can only imagine how much goes into managing this site, plus for NING, the cost of bandwidth or whatever that thingy is that makes this all happen.
