Am I the only one that thinks it's totally lame to keep getting PMs asking me for money?  There are about a gazillion places where forums can be started and maintained for free.  Try www.proboards.com.  It's pretty obvious that this forum was started as a money-making venture.  There are about 4 million ads on these boards, and I'm getting 2 private messages a month asking me for money.  I'm sure this will get my membership revoked, but give it a rest.  If you're seriously interested in making this a helpful forum, move it to a different host, and stop pestering the members for "donations".
