Hoi, We can even sell our servers to the leasing company and get all this money and realise our budget. Because it will be obvious that we can do the same trick again next year, right ?
Selling the servers can't be done every year, but I'm not the one who suggested that, you are.
Actually consider the original proposal for setting aside money for leaner times.
I did, and pointed out a couple reasons that I think it's a terrible proposal.
With the systems that we have we can maintain our current requirements and "only" have to pay for bandwidth and hosting. I think our current system of buying our servers, and not pay the leasing company overhead, is right in the middle between these two extremes.
As long as you keep raising donations in excess of your need, maybe. The question I was responding to was what if you only have $1.5 million for the year.
