    There's a mod that puts how much money you need and how close you've gotten to your goal on your forum homepage (I forget what it is called, but I can get the link if you want it). Maybe that'll encourage your members to help out.

    Rizzo, there's nothing wrong with straight-up asking your members for donations. It's the approach of doing so that is the key element. Saying "I need money for the site, pay now" obviously won't work.
    But being totally open and honest with your community about the situation will yield success (given that you have a dedicated memberbase). Just elaborate as to 1) what the financial requirements of maintaining the site are 2) what your current status with the site is (in terms of finances) and 3) how your members can help. Just be honest, and they will know.

    All VIP features, currently valued at around $5 a month.

    I like some of the ideas here though; basic hosting would be a pretty sweet perk.
