Jim Robinson (owner of FR, and the man we lovingly call RimJob because...well, it's just so fitting) runs a continuous fundraising drive. IIRC he claims to pull in over a quarter-million a year from his minions in these so-called "freepathons." With this, one would think he could come up with the scratch to buy at least one decent server that could handle the load he gets, but that is not to be.

The site also looks like a junior high kid built it back when we were all still hand-coding websites. So where the hell is the money going?
