Can anyone tell me that the finalized site will either:
2) That Syonic technologies will be refunding the donations to pay for their advertising?
Geez... There are a billion URLs that could have been used. Why are we using one that requires someone's "permission" to use? What is the relationship?

What's wrong with acknowleging the fact that they are providing the use of the domain name? Many sites thank the companies that provide either the domain name or web space.

This was supposed to be a grass-roots non-profit effort -- paid for by the rocketry community to deliver a crisp message about the need to support our hobby. For about $100, we could have registered a new URL and had it hosted (free of advertising) for two years. I find it disappointing that we are, apparently, choosing to diffuse our message with unrelated and unnecessary advertising. I donated money to support the hobby via a clean and message-focused website and associated video spots -- not to supplement the marketing of an arbitrary consulting business.
--Jim
Although I too do not understand why they chose to use a domain name that was already in use, I don't have a problem with advertising the company that donated the name. The way I see it, it's no different than advertising the vendors who donated goods for the auction.
Exactly.

So, does anyone who donated money also get a space on the site for advertisement?
--Jim
Vendors do, yes, and clubs get it for free. See
Syonic owns the domain name flyrockets.com, they're letting use use it, thats the extent of the relationship. They asked for a link, we see that as a reasonable and acceptable request. When all is said and done the guy donating his time working on the design will get mention, and I probably will too for hosting the site.

I will provide space and domains for free.
There's a point. Maybe have a supporters link page and put them on it among the hundreds?

If you provided space to me for a website I would certainly acknowledge that fact somewhere on the site.

Contact me by email for this feature.
Thanks for the offer but I already have free space being provided by my ISP. If you look you'll notice a "Hancock Telecom" link below the menu. They have provided the web space for IndyRockets.org for three years and all they ask in return is that link. The fact that I do a lot of other business with them undoubtably helps...
