It's probably not as much of a problem for people who have already experienced the value. But for someone just starting out, they haven't seen the value yet, and would likely go elsewhere.
I'd prefer not to go down that route - there'd have to be elements that remain free for all / free forever.
Apologies, yes that's broken.
But you can still paypal to paypal@iceinspace.com.au, or the BSB/Acc# are still valid.
I haven't got time at the moment to reply more, but I'm reading the discussions and appreciate your thoughts.

Hi Mike
It would be a great loss to not have IIS, not very active ATM myself, but IIS, the Astrocamps & everyone who started this up and kept it going all this time is the genesis of the business I now have.
Anything I can do to help I will.
We NEED a national Astronomy community.
With no national Magazine it’s even more vital.
How about a one off donation drive (Wikipedia style) to keep things running
Then work on a sustainable solution going forward.
Would be pleased to hear from you
