For now, I consider it unfortunate when a new member joins, because he 
will have to reconfigure all of his services on our new servers when 
they are ready.

Is our mega-cheap service really so undesirable that we need gimmicks 
like this? :D

The laws governing our corporate existence make it very difficult for us 
to accept any income besides member dues.  We have a percentage cap of 
around 20% on how much income can come from any source besides members.  
We really are not having any problems with financing, though, so no 
worries there.
