Forum installation and integration? Like Vbulletin does?
There are a lot of people like me out there who love this forum software but lack the necessary skills to install and integrate it and even customize it.
I have a credit card and many other do also and would pay for this. |

The Snitz forums are in essence a learning project for people who want to get more familiar with ASP. That's one of the reasons not all MODs that many people like get put into the base code but have to be installed manually.
Even if users, such as yourself, say they are willing to pay to have their forums installed fast and without worries, there'll always be people who'll do anything they can to stop people from accepting the money. I've seen it in the past, and I know it'd happen again if someone would seriously work on the idea. |

nothing in life is free. who are these people? they must live in another world.
You guys have to pay for hosting, maintenance etc.
Time is money.
I'm not into coding and will never be but I do like asp scripts as they work well. Especially Snitz. |

Now this is the first time I see someone complaining for getting something for free  . I do a lotta stuff for free (everything I do here, for example). What's wrong with that? Can't I just choose to do so?
Anyway if someone wants to charge for something and someone wants to pay, I see no problem with that. I've helped a lot of people, and some did offer to pay. As I do this for free, I always suggest that a donation to Snitz is made, instead of paying me. Of course, I'm not talking about of anything that takes more than a couple hours effort, so I really do not see the problem. |

There are other sources of income, not associated with snitz, that pays for the hosting.
We understand that some of our users would want to donate something towards snitz and the help they get so we setup a donation page for those who want to. Nikkol posted a link to the page in her post. |

| I know why I couldn't donate cause Pay Pal doesn't work yet for people in the Bahamas. Oh and I was going to buy a Snitz mouse pad but you guys don't make a profit from the purchase. |

| fortunately we do not have to pay a host for hosting the forums, they are hosted on one of my servers, and donations cover some of the bandwidth cost, but at least we won't get thrown off for non payment or using too many resources. |

Do you get a tax break for donating hosting to a non profit organization?
