I also think it might have to do with, if the site is makeing money, what to do with that money.

Yes what to do with revenue is such a hard thing to figure out?
How about using cash for site updates, software and hardware maybe even an annual newsletter, or as a fund to buy stuff for reviews that we cant get for free.

not many of those are required, since the site is hosted on Tage's verio account, which he gets free since he's an employee of verio.

FUnding stuff for people to review, or even just to mail stuff that came to the wrong person for free, that's doable.

I don't have a problem with the current situation, though, where we get our own links/kickback. it's an informal, non-professional site, so I don't see why that's a problem for anyone.

Well thanks to Tage we are on a very good hosting server for free.  So there's no way we could update any of the serverside stuff with the small amount we'd get from amazon.  As for software, why buy it?  We can code most the stuff ourselfs, and if not get some GPL program to do it for us.  The newsletter is the same way, why would we need to pay for that?  The code is simple enough.

So that leaves useing it to buy things for reviews.  This could lead to problems since it's basicaly like giveing the money to someone.  Who should get the items they want bought?  Whats and ideal price range? etc.  I think its a headache that, rightly so, Fell wants to advoid.
