Hi,
I'm the webmaster for the C36 association, and contributor of your map-based owner registry (which is still not upgraded for our new site, http://www.c36ia.com
) and site logo.
The C36 association has a Supporting Membership option that includes all membership benefits except for Mainsheet. Adding that option may encourage more to join in this challenging economic climate.
In addition, we have very recently added Google Ads to our site. Ads are shown only to non-members on the website, and to everyone on the forums (because there's no easy way to hide them from members -- yet). This lets us keep the majority of our content open but also lets us benefit indirectly from the many non-members (~ 60%) who visit our site. We have only had ads running since Halloween, but it looks like the revenue will comfortably cover our Web hosting costs and may make a contribution back to the association.
Regards,
Alex.
