You could probably PM the owner of this forum and ask about the donations. If he felt you had a good enough reason or need to know he would tell you.
As someone who donates his time to moderate this forum (my way of paying it forward for all I have learned here) I have never needed to know anything about the monies collected thru donation.
I am just glad enough folks feel they are getting value for their dollar and we collect enough to pay for software maint and updates, server space and bandwidth.
Without donating members I don't believe Rick could keep this site open.
