Banners, Wiki, etc. should be fixed as DNS entries propagate.

pgmfi@pgmfi.org We're lucky to still have free hosting. LUCKY. If this place had to pay for hosting, it wouldn't exist based on the level of financial support it receives from vendors and users. This is a reality regardless of whether you choose to believe it or not.
The vast majority of people here seem to have forgotten that this place was founded on a COMMUNITY mindset. Some people write ASM code for ECUs. Some people write userspace software that people use. Some people test things and provide constructive feedback. Some people take the time to make Wiki entries that help people learn. Some people take the time to answer people's questions. Some people buy ads to support the site. Some people can't really do anything else, so they donate money. Most people seem to leech.
A lot of people lately seem like they come on here with a ghetto-child "gimme gimme gimme" attitude, overwhelming the site with questions and problems without making much of an effort to use existing resources or contribute anything back. I know there are hundreds, if not thousands, of Crome Pro users that think what we do here is valuable enough to give John Cui $150. I know there are tons of people who use the information here for commercial purposes and DON'T code ROMs, code plugins, code apps or test stuff. Most of them don't even take this time to answer questions after their own personal dilemmas are resolved.
I'm sick of this shit. Things will be changing here in big ways soon unless (collectively) the community starts living up to the expectations it was founded on. This place is a resource, not a right. Do not take it for granted - it may not be available to you in the future in the same ways it is now unless things change.
By the way, I *do* recognize that there are many people who do try to give back in some form. I'm not addressing the majority of this to you. If it don't apply, let it slide.
