Donations

[warren]

Just a little note to say we are running a little low on funds we have enough for the next few months, but anything you can give to help keep the site going is always appreciated.

either way even if I pay the site won't go down

thank you as always

How many members, making a monthly donation, would it take to keep the site going ?
The reason I ask is if the promotion of donations was pushed a little, maybe the number taking part may reduce the monthly contribution ?

 

[warren]

quite a few compared to the 3 that have taken the offer yourself included of course lol

 

[Pedrocut]

Oh well worth a try. So the three of us cannot rest on our laurels !

 

[warren]

no you guys are great it's always appreciated and everything helps!

I thought it was a good idea at the time but hey ho

 

[warren]

thank you all for the donations so far it's much appreciated and everything helps!

it is very much gratefully received.

thankfully out hardware is petty new so shouldn't be any surprise shocks any time soon

I signed up for the monthly subscription, even if you can’t/don’t want to do that, please try to make a donation of some kind. It is unfair to let it fall mostly on Warren and it is for such a good cause!

Agreed - I also signed up.
Just looking at the home page we seem to have lots of guests and very few members on line at present:-

Is there anything we can do to encourage the 409 guests to become members I wonder - assuming they are not all bots of course!

Good point! Is there something we can do to show why it’s better to be a member than a guest?

 

[pjmburns]

They wouldn't necessarily donate though would they?

No, but if we don’t try we will see no change!

On most sites (ie: 28dayslater) you have to become a member to see the vast majority of content. I think that is fair enough. Its not like we are asking for the earth. If all 409 guests joined and donated a pound a month that's nearly £5K extra per year coming in.

Yes, I think that is more than fair! Even if you could be a non paying guest for a month (or something like that) then make a modest contribution and go from there. To Marks point a £1 per month would help (or more).

 

[warren]

it certainly would! I'll have a think might make the site restricted to none members so they can only see a few bits of the site.

ill sort this the weekend when I've got a bit of time

Just signed up! This site is a fund of information and entertainment. Thanks to @warren and mods for keeping it going. Not forgetting members who post photographs and historical information.
