Server bill coming due ~ Help needed
on: November 13, 2019, 01:55:16 AM
I hate to sound like a broken record but the forum is in serious need of donations so we can keep this place going. There is a bill due on the 21st of November for the server we use to run the forum and we are short on the funds necessary to pay it. Forum donations have been down all year and it's starting to have a negative effect on the forums bottom line. A Big thank you to everyone who has donated   :hatsoff:    I'm asking for members who haven't donated before or for a long time to please consider making a donation now.

I hate to start these threads to ask members for money but the reality is that it costs money to run this forum we call home and someone has to pay the bills.

Please donate,  any amount helps  :cheers:

Thanks     :cheers:

Thanks for the heads up, Steve :salute: Most of us who use mobile as the primary way to forum forget about the donation bar :ahhh (out of sight out of mind type thing :facepalm: ) it is good to be reminded :tu: and so many of us use MTO on a regular basis and forget it costs money to run a place like this :facepalm: I am guilty of this quite often and need the reminder :cheers:

How far are we behind, overall? Maybe that is the number we should be chasing rather than the monthly goal?

I don't have an exact figure but there have been a few months where we barely reached half of the monthly goal.

Donate or I shall do something very very evil....

I will keep my cat's food bowl only half full, letting him continue to believe I do not care about him and stressing him out with his impending perceived starvation.

As a bonus, I will run the laser under the couch and turn it off, forever making him believe it is hiding under there...forever waiting to come out again.
