Thanks for the update Robert. I can certainly sense your frustration. I was not aware of the personal cost to you. And I can relate to the "no free time" thing, it's a scarce resource. But maybe once you re-organise the hosting etc and put the site on a commercial footing it will become more attractive to a buyer and allow you move forward. Nothing wrong with selling advertising or sponsorship, even though I have detected a distinct non commercial feel about this site, but hey, if it helps pay the rent and keep the site alive what's the harm. There are plenty of "not for profit" sites (eg. sports and hobby based) that wouldn't be around without some form of advertising or sponsorship.
I wish you all the best.
