for option 1 : i don't want to burden the members
for option 2 : we are a non-profit public service site, it will defeat our goal/purpose.
we owe you the hosting, thanks for sponsoring, dont worry ill find and move it asap. before your shared account gets suspended

im leaning on option 2 - suggestion ni opfret to allow advertiser to support the hosting cost but that will be the last resort na to pag wala na talagang pagasa or else hindi ko po kaya 20USD per month talaga.
