I don't think this is a viable solution exactly because of the contra

That might actually be the nicest idea. But really, who's gonna pay for it?
A single person might actually be able to shoulder the normal server costs
but the additional traffic costs really can bring you down.
The "ROCK Linux Fundraising" already failed once.

What's actually causing the most traffic? Cliffords spam? Or the real
ROCK Linux stuff?
Sorry, but I'm quite reluctant to cover cliff's private toy traffic, too.
He may be the creator of ROCK, but that doesn't mean we have to support SPL
