I have four suggestions:
1. I'll continue hosting the site indefinitely - but with Google AdSense ads. I didn't realize that browsing usage is still high even if no one is posting anything new. Ads should hopefully cover $12/year.
2. Someone else can pay for the domain name, transfer it to their name and keep the domain name pointed at my web hosting company. (Godaddy.com: $7.49 first year, $12/year after) Bandwidth costs are extremely small and I'm hosting the files from other domains already at $10/month.
3. I can move the domain to a subdomain that's free, for example http://lld101.wirsz.com
4. Archive database & site, turn over everything to someone else.
I'm leaning towards #1 at the moment - but if someone else really wants to keep the site ad free I have no objections.

Site shutdown has been averted.
I am still unable to get fulltime work due to my health problems caused by my 2006 car accident, still must pay 2 caregivers for help with rehab and daily tasks, so every dollar counts.
One of you made a generous contribution so I'll definitely continue the site as-is without ads, and will renew it here for another 5 years.
I'm transitioning to godaddy.com - so any temporary site outage that may occur is definitely inadvertent.
Thanks again,
Steven

It's been 4 years, is the site going to die next year?
