2006 Donation Drive - GOAL MET!!! (Now let's exceed it!)

Last call for donations. If you want to help keep Planewalker running and maybe even growing into new areas, any financial donation would be appreciated.

Barring any special projects or nothing, this is the last I'll bug you all about it until next Spring. However, we do accept donations year round, but when the yearly bill hits, we'd especially appreciate anything you can give.

Thank you all!

I guess that information would help. Sorry, I'm not accustomed to asking for money and I mainly left it out because our goal is kind of fuzzy. For one thing, I make sure that we don't end up in one of those "We need $X this week or the site shuts down!" situations that you sometimes see with other fan sites. Secondly, if we get enough donated, there are plenty of special projects that we would love to do like t-shirts, dice bags, and/or contest prizes that would need some initial funds.

But as for hosting, that annual bill is $84 and comes due every Spring. Also, the domain name is coming due pretty soon here and that is $35-$75 depending on whether I renew it year by year ($35/year) or for 3 years ($75/ 3 years).*

So far in 2006, we received a $15 donation back in January.

As for a goal, I'd say $150 each year would be great! It would cover hosting and the domain name, plus have extra for special projects and contest prizes.

How's that sound?

I have been editing the thread title everytime I get a submission. So we're $30 away from this year's goal.

We are pretty much at the point where any more donations that come in will go to activities other than just the hosting fee (especially since I can consider some of the hosting fee my own donation). I also turned off a few options we weren't using anymore (like ASP pages) to save some more money next year and direct more towards other uses.

Since I picked a set dollar amount, I probably should pick a date range, too. The yearly bill comes due in the spring, so let's go with simple calendar year and restart the donation drive January 1 (unless there are objections).
