Ads on the wiki

I am fine with advertisements, however, I would be inclined to donate if the need was expressed before we got to the "needing ad revenue" level. "New Hosting Costs" are mentioned... I hate that anyone should have to foot the bill for the wiki. What, roughly, are we talking about for expenses? Could this be discussed a little more prior to introducing ads on the site?

Unfortunately, I don't have exact numbers for you right now. Communication is a bit sparse with our server admin at the moment. It may actually be the case that we don't have new costs after all, but I wouldn't count on it. I will post numbers as soon as I get them!
