1. The Hipforums announces it first ever fundraiser. After nearly 30 years online, we must ask our members and guests to help support the website. Thanks to years of ongoing financial support of our members, advertisers and volunteer admin staff, we have been able to keep the forums alive.

    Now we must ask for help as available funds have all been used for our Internet server and other fees.

    So please donate any amount to our PayPal account donate@Hipforum.com to keep the site going. If we can get enough for a few months fees, we won't need to nag you again!

    You could also subscribe to the forums and get an upgrade to Supporter or Lifetime Supporter here

    You can dismiss this message by clicking on the X in the upper right corner.

    Thanks! The Hipforums Staff

    really cool tool for emailing large files, just upload it to their server and send the link to whomever you wish.

    BUT, my question: What do they get out of this? I've used it a few times, and it seems just too good to be true. I don't get it, it seems like they're using crazy amount of bandwidth, but they don't seem to sell anything, or advertise for anybody else? As much as i'd like to think it's a group of people just doing a really cool thing.....my inner skeptic says, where's the money made?
