Hub admin/founder Alfred started accepting donations to pay for the hosting for the month and then collected over $600, he had been afk for ages before this and the Hub went up and down, very unstable and now he's back saying thanks for the donations it will cover this month and a little of next, he got over 600 USD, that's enough to cover it for a year! Clearly taking advantage of the community over there, here's the thread with Alfred's response's and him getting called out by a few people:
Hello everyone,
Apologies for my extended silence everyone. I've been so ridiculously busy AFK recently I've barely had time to turn on my computer let alone read and make posts to the Hub. Trying to find a new job has been rough going and I am unfortunately getting into somewhat dire straits.
Thank you so very much to everyone who sent donations. Your response was above and beyond what I could have asked for.
The Hub's rent has been paid and we have a small amount left over to put towards next months. I will be setting up a donation marker for everyone who posted here that they had donated and >you all have my undying gratitude.
Warmest Regards,
Alfred

Zaphod following the money: http://thehub7gqe43miyc.onion/index.php?topic=17477.msg146137#msg146137
We used to use it to advertise our markets that we sell on but not anymore, we even donated a few dollars!
Hmmm, where have users of /r/DNMs seen a story line that that before? Wonder how it turned out?
I don't care how much I love and admire a cause, once I find out the money guy is unemployed and broke they aren't getting a dime.
