BT did all the work to put this site together.  It is his time and energy that keeps this place together.  And his funds.  So once or twice a year he asks for a little financial support.  Your donation would be much appreciated!

Sounds fine. What is the recommended donation?

Title: Re: Semi Annual Beg-a-Thon
Post by: chickencounter on September 25, 2007, 10:50:27 AM

Whatever amount is comfortable for you to donate.

You don't actually count chickens, do you?  :D

I have a freind who has made a comfortable living for himself in N.C. raising chickens. I went thereo nce. A filthy operation for sure.

I do count them....sort of.  Fortunately, they are already packaged.   :D

I don't mean to be a prick, but I have to ask.

Are we as contributors going to be informed as to how our money is spent?

Title: Re: Semi Annual Beg-a-Thon
Post by: sirs on September 25, 2007, 04:34:52 PM

Mine goes towards the dog food for the captive canine

We currently pay $135.00 per month for a dedicated server. The largest user is debategate, both in storage requirements and bandwidth.

Other users, mostly blogs, are also hosted and their monthly payments help defer overall costs.

I also had some corporate websites hosted but they have moved on. At one time they paid all the freight.

Jeebus. BT, do you get enough in donations to break even at least?

Why not just charge everyone whatever the necessary amount is, $25, $50, $75 or whatever?

Altruism. And non-profit status.

I don't charge anyone for the services I provide, only ask for donations.
