Improvements for BearCentral But Still Not Enough

We were thinking about BearCentral and why are they struggling with keeping the site up? It seems that
 Walt, Scott and Chris has been pretty busy over the weekend, trying their best to keep requesting for donations so that the site could continue to run.   After reading through the blogs which other bears had wrote, they seem to have their support on BearCentral and apparently had donated.

We at Bear Talk Woof has been doing some calculations. Now according to BearCentral, there are approximately 28,611 members on the site. If you divide that by 4 you would get 7,152, that's a quarter amount of members on the site. We are not sure how much it takes for a website to run but assuming that it takes about $800.00. But that is just our guess and if that is how much it cost, then it takes 800 members to keep the site up, each member contributing a dollar toward that fund. That is a small amount of members to 28,611 who had donated which is very sad.

This is a tough time in our society. Its understanding that not many bears are not able to donate money, even a dollar. These days in this age people are trying to save a buck. Many people are out of jobs and those who are working are living paycheck by paycheck and they just cannot afford. Maybe some bears cannot afford to be bothered paying up for that extra access and the only thing that is important in the site is in contact with other bears. I am sure that there are bears who are on here are on other sites as well supporting those sites too which is why they can't afford support another site. These are possibilities.

So what do you guys think? Will it be enough for them to keep it up by the end of the week? We'll see. They are really hoping that BearCentral improves.
