okay i'll just tell u guys, hopefully he won't delte this one.
I was thinking of having like a montly raffle or just a raffle every now and then to support the fourm. He can raffle things like steel brake line, aftermarket brake pads, typeS carpet mats, CAI, wood trim kit. car cover, Zanio stuff basically anything from AUTOCARPARTS.com . who ever wants to join the raffle can send money via paypal like 5 dollar for each raffle ticket and then w/ the rest of the money we can buy stuff for the site/server/bandwidth.

non-profit status has nothing to do with corporate status. 501(c)(7) non-profit status (as a recreational club) prolly wouldn't be out of the question. it'd be a hassle, though.

the irs would only get involved if you didn't pay income tax on the raffle proceeds and/or you claim tax exempt status under irc section 501.
as far as how they'd find out about such a venture, it'd only take one concerned citizen (netizen?) to point it out to their friendly field agent. the real question is whether they'd bother for such small potatoes.
