PLEASE CONSIDER CONTRIBUITING TO THIS FORUM

Post by **jjs777** » Fri Oct 07, 2005 7:24 am

Folks...time has come to ask for some money. This is a personal decision and no one gets treated differently whether they contribute or dont contribute.

Will you help support this forum ?

To get things going over on this new site I have registered dns names and subscribed to this hosting account. The costs incurred to date are $140.

I will be Expending another $200 or so on extending the hosting contract with godaddy.com

I do not intend to make any profits from any of this. I did this because I enjoy this forum and the folks on it. The money already came out of my pocket and now I'm broke.

Total moneys needed to cover my costs will be $340 and that will cover us for two years. If perhaps MORE money was collected I would ante up for extending the contract for this forum even further into the future past 2 years. The more years the less money per month for hosting.

Please make any paypal donations to

@@@@STOP HERE@@@@
DO NOT CONTRIBUTE....WE HAVE REACHED OUR GOAL
If we come up with something that seems like a good idea...we'll try to get funds but hech...a few of you have made sizable contributions and its been really appreciated.

https://www.paypal.com/us/verified/pal= ... ahoo%2ecom

Please make donations greater than $5 to help offset paypal fees incurred.

Some folks have asked about advertising in the past. I'm still hashing over the best way to do that. And to make it presentable in this forum. The folks that have asked about advertising are generally the folks that have contributed significantly to this forum by way of techinical know how and advice. Those people will be recognized.

I'd like to say thanks to those who have contributed. A bit less people than I expected but those folks have shouldered the expenses.

To date we have raised $340 less paypal fees (10/14/05)
okay its a bit more than $340 but until I fugure out pounds conversion...I think we're at $378 something.....and someone (dudeman) over contributed to get things kicked off so I gotta refund him a bit.

thanks again

Okay I was considering keeping donations anonymous but I think it's a good idea to verify moneys received.

Thus far....not inlcuding admin moneys

Was going to ask you guys about how you were paying for the site, and now I know.

I'm definately going to help out. Should be able to drop a few bucks next week. I'm broke as a joke right now too after recently moving. Still don't have 'net hooked up at home yet

John - if you want I can cut you a check/money order and mail it out to you if you want to avoid the Paypal costs. Lemme know.

Still paid up ?

Post by **jjs777** » Tue Dec 19, 2006 6:34 pm

yeah we need to look at when the site expires...then we'll need to raise money to extend the hosting site/dns etc

luckily the folks on this board have had no issues raising the money for costs

even if I dont come here that much due to other obligations I would always support the site...too many friends here

Note that I have plenty of webspace on my GoDaddy account if you all need any. I think I currently have about 58GB extra
