Eric Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 Sorry about the downtime, as anyone who visited while the site was down already knows, the community had exceeded its monthly bandwidth allotment. I've purchased more for this month, and will upgrade the hosting package for next month to triple the amount of available bandwidth to make sure that this doesn't happen again.

It's a good time for those of us who may not have noticed the DONATE button on the top right to click on it and send in a donation to assist with the upkeep of this forum.

HV Ken Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 OK - I am overdue on contributing. Is there a suggested donation amount per forum contributor that if everyone donated would cover the expenses?

Eric Posted January 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 OK - I am overdue on contributing. Is there a suggested donation amount per forum contributor that if everyone donated would cover the expenses? Well, if each of the 550+ members sent in donations, it would take less than $1 each per year to pay for the hosting and software upgrades, but I don't think that's very likely to happen. Not sure, but I sent in 20 a few days back. Eli And it's very much appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack from Ohio Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 Eat at home one night, instead of that nice restaurant, and send $50, once a season, in support of this marvelous and extremely valuable website. If all the active participants would do that, the webmaster could worry about other more important issues. Just My Not So Humble Opinion.

Teri2414 Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 I sent in $25 myself a few days ago - not knowing what was a good amount to start with. I figured I'd do more later during the season when the big bucks roll in. Not sure why it took me so long to find this board - but I'm glad I did. Keep up the good work:)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janitor Bob Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 I sent some last April...but sorry to say all I have sent this season so far are positive thoughts....Maybe if some clients would pick up their returns and pay me, I could send some to erc (and pay my electric bill).

Laura_in_MN Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 I just sent $25.00. A real bargain considering what a valuable resource this forum is. I'm so glad I found all of you here!

JohnH Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 If we start getting slack on contributing, maybe erc could send us a subtle hint, like maybe taking the site down for an hour or two. Hey, wait a minute...! Seriously, I just sent in my third payment. Want to be sure this forum stays active. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russell Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 Thanks for the reminder. I just sent $25.00 and will send more as I get into the returns. FYI the Paypal will show it came from itsonlyhostas which is our Paypal account. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
