ALTDB is free and you get what you pay for.
However. Donations to http://www.nanog.org/scholarships/abha.php would probably get requests done a lot faster.

so, each time someone wants to update they need to donate to make sure it gets processed in a timely matter?
or do you track who donates and give priority to their updates?
dont get me wrong - its a great cause, and people should donate if they can
if the project is short of volunteers - i'm sure there are people in the community who would not mind helping out

No, every update does not require a donation. In fact, very little of what goes on on the database requires my intervention at all. Only new maintainers and a few other bits of administrivia require that. Right now I am very busy and do not have time to deal with things at the speed required by some people. As I have always said, "if you require immediate support I recommend the very fine RADB service run by Merit." -- Steve Rubin / AE6CH / http://www.altdb.net/ Email: ser@tch.org / N6441C / http://www.tch.org/~ser/
