Donations are certainly welcome, but let's be clear - we're not saying (at this point) that if we get enough money we'd automatically switch over. (If I read the licensing right, an upgrade from UBB.classic is $100; not too bad.) Probably the more important issues are - how much trouble would the changover cause, and how much benefit would we gain? Our experience in the past has been that upgrades are painful. We have various customizations we've made, that have to be re-implemented in the new system. Unexpected side effects appear. Not that we'd automatically rule out upgrades, but be aware that we tend to view them with considerable suspicion and aversion. For me at least, e-mail notification just doesn't seem sufficient motivation.
