Does the traffic volume indicate that running a blogad or two could cover the dedicated host?
I like the clean, no-ad site, but an ad-supported dedicated server might clear up some headaches.
There's been a fair amount of comment on it over at Becks' place. See the link in the post.
I note for the record that I really want to be able to access the comment thread where Labs talked about sleeping with the girl at the reunion because his penis was juggernaut firm. Not because I think about Labs penis that much outside the mineshaft, but because it was a great thread and it contained my favorite comment made by, well, me. And it will be dead useful to revisit during the next endless CNNathon of Bill Frist saying "up or down vote..."
Moreover, I'll plunk down a contribution for whatever the group decides.
Ben is the hero! A solution should be forthcoming.
