I'm cool with whatever happens (or doesn't happen) to X0. I'm even ok with having donated to what may turn out to have been a black hole. However, given the way things are going, I can't help but question whether it is appropriate that the X0 site is still soliciting donations.

In fact, on a separate note, was it ever appropriate for X0 to solicit donations? The rest of us adhere to a strict code of accepting no financial compensation for our restorations or edits, and people have been kicked off the forum for it. Was the X0 granted an exception? Under the current circumstances, would it be that hard to remove the PayPal link from the site?
