I don't see what being free has to do with it really, Twitter, Facebook, Gmail are free too. Those sites like this one, are advertising supported. More visitors = more advertising revenue = no need for donations.
I have a web site for my company and I could take your suggestion that "its up to the local people to contribute to make it fun, intelligent, interesting, useful" or I could make it as useful as I possibly can. I've chosen the latter option!
What's your personal view? Could this place be improved? How? Or is everything fine?
