Several thousand dollars, amortized over just how many years, and how many months? Give us actual numbers, because I sincerely doubt that the monthly cost is anywhere near as outrageous as you're making it out to be.
Depending on the actual monthly cost for hosting the site, I'd be willing to pay for the whole goddamn thing. The only thing is that I wouldn't be willing to pay you, I would want control of the page returned to the community.
I bet you won't go for that, because I'm betting dollars to donuts that the costs aren't anywhere near as onerous as you're making them out to be, and you're just trying to make it out to be such a burden so you have an excuse to make money off of our backs in a flagging market for upright arcade machines.
Also, for the record, the website for DreamAuthentics Dot Com has the following title according to Google:
Play Arcade: Games | Classics | mame32 || DreamAuthentics
I'm hereby putting you on notice that your use of the MAME trademark to hock your arcade cabinets is not approved by the MAME team, is considered infringing on the trademark held by the MAME team, and I have every intention of retaining legal counsel if this is not rectified immediately.
