Crowdfunding the creation of the next version of LFGSS

I want to have a look at the proposal too, once it's up. Mainly I have become confused about the microcosm revenue stream. I understand how buro9 makes money from LFGSS but don't know how microcosm would make money from microwaveenthusiasts.net?

I think the same way, but with benefits of scale. Obviously I'm not David, but going from info I've gleaned from digging around and reading things...

Buro9 makes it's cash from affiliate links.
Affiliate links can be very profitiable (see MoneySavingExpert and Quidco for details)
Even the current lfgss server has space (and I assume bandwidth) to host a couple more forums if needed
The current software is rubbish, and LFGSS is very hacked to get it to work.
Optomising the software means more forums on less server
Better software means more forums
More forums = more affilate links
More links = more $$$

or something

I suspect that that is a very simplified and rubbish version of the whole thing, and it's what I've put together, so could be totally wrong. Read the proposal, and decide for yourself once it's on seedrs.
