It's like the perpetual "going out of business" sale.
The issue is that any free service needs a revenue model to stay afloat, and folks like wikipedia will turn their site into a PBS pledge-break begging platform when they don't actually need the cash. (Ivy league universities always cut back budgets and layoff people in bad economic times, even when the endowment can fund the school indefinitely because keeping donations coming and being seen as "doing their part (even though it's unnecessary)" are the primary goals.)
PS: Does anyone know IA's financial position?
