Actually, Bruce always steps up to the plate as well ...

We had setup the whole PgMerchandise stuff as a means to provide ppl with
an easy mechanism to support, as well as advertise to, PostgreSQL ... but
ppl only need sooooo many t-shirts :)  So that avenue of offsetting costs
has been kinda dry the past few months ...

We're currently in the process of setting up shop in a co-lo, vs dedicated
server ... we pay for/own the server itself, and only pay for the "space"
... if all goes well, and growth continues (or picks up) on the hosting
side such that the postgresql servers aren't >50% of our bandwidth, then
we'll most likely be able to drop off the banners :)

Trust me ... we are working on it ...
