Okay, I set up
a new ezboard community. It's $30 for six months of chat. If you click the treasure box thing that says "Make a contribution" you can put some money in. It takes paypal. I already put in five bucks, and as soon as we reach thirty I'll use that to make the chat room.
(Once we reach $30, nobody needs to put more money in, since we probably won't use anything else on the site until we need to renew the chat room, and we may have found something else we like better by then.)
ETA: Actually, there's a special offer of 3 months for $9.95, so I'll do that as soon as we reach the amount, and plan to use any extra for the six months down the road...
