So, those of us that give information in the forms of tutorials, reviews and pictorials should get a discount or even be paid? Sounds daft to me.
Raffles are an excellent idea and other fund raisers can be brought in too, but people need to keep on top of them and keep them active. Over on RWI the last raffle was excellent, right up until the minute it went pyriform, when the person running it was overtaken by real-life, delaying the outcome for a period of weeks/months. It meant that there hasn't been one since, but that doesn't mean a new one wouldn't be appreciated.
