Jay,
Thanks for keeping this site running for as long as you have, i have quite enjoyed the community here the past few years.
I would love to see option 1 happen short term, with option 2 being a longer term (Within the year?) goal. I would absolutely help out with some level of donation. please hit me up via PM when you know how you want that to work.
SilverWook and Anchorhead,
Thank you for devoting so much time to the moderation of this site over the years!
