The PAFOA currently has no bandwidth costs, as my company hosts it for free.

Care to provide some examples of the websites, and the VERY heavy traffic?

We're aware of the potential, and we very well may do ar15.com style button ads. We don't want to get too commercial, as we're a NPO. We also want to remain free from corporate influence. We will likely end up with exactly what I posted earlier, paid membership for people who choose to subscribe, and button ads for companies.
