Hey guys, it's that time of year again - hosting costs come due soon. We've moved to a newer, faster, more stable server and things have been going well. If you'd like to pitch something into the pot to help defray the hosting costs of this forum and the various and sundry associated websites, pop on over to the donation page for info on how to do so. Once our goal is reached, I'll take down the donation page, unsticky this post and lock it.

Goal this year is $287.40. We've got domain names about maxed out so are not including them in the drive this year, just the forum and website hosting costs.

Thanks in advance to all who contribute (in so many ways) toward keeping this place going.

We have over $115.00 raised already. Thanks guys!

I know money is tight, If you can afford a few dollars, it would help to keep this site up and running.

It's coming right along. Donations ranging from $10 to $50 with a total of $190 so far. No notification of "check's in the mail" so don't know from that angle. Anyway, the guys here are quite generous and have been keeping the lights on for almost a decade.

Hey guys,

Here's how the drive turned out this year. 12 donors contributed between $10 and $100 each for a total of $376.06 after fees. This gives us approximately $33.00 average before fees and $31.33 average after. With the price of stamps and envelopes, that's not much more overhead than if folks had sent in a check. :)

I'll post an update on disbursement of funds once the invoice is sent and paid, probably in a couple of weeks or so. Thanks to all who kicked in the funds to keep the lights on one more year. And thanks to all who contribute to making this the place it is.
