I'll answer this one.... since I'm the one who shamelessly points it out all the time. LOL
Glad you asked Tim!
Every page has a small subtle link at the bottom of it... "spport this site"

You get some stickers in the mail ( I heard a new design is soon to come out - maybe) and you get a pop email account, you get access to a hidden message area, and more storage for your photo gallery. I think there is more but send some moolah Rick's way and you'll see.
The BIGGEST benefit is that it keeps this site a level playing field. No big advertising contracts, with annoying banner ads, and censorship over opinions, or obligations to any particular advertiser.

Cold 'eh and the other canadians... this is for you too....
And in the "Feb Run" thread, I think you asked about where we all are from. There is a cool map put out by some subsidary of Google called "Frappr Map" and it allows you to enter your zip code, and a map pin appears near your location. It's not so much that you have to give out private info - just you zip. You need to put in a "shout-out" which is just a line that most use to say hello. And you can upload a photo too.
It's a pretty cool map, I like the way to zooms and scrolls. Check it out....
