Storm2k Funding Help Request

#1 Postby chadtm80 » Wed Apr 11, 2007 1:05 am

Hi, everyone!

As I'm sure you all have noticed, the weather maps on our homepage haven't been working for the past couple of months. We have new and exciting features planned for you though. The monthly server cost went up with our last host change and it also costs us a nice chunk each month to bring you the customized weather maps. We believe these features are important to Storm2k, but we do rely on donations to help pay for the cost of everything. No matter how big or small, every donation is helpful and greatly appreciated.

We are working hard to give you what you want in a weather site and we want you all to feel at home here at Storm2k. Our funds have been really low lately and we need your donations to keep Storm2k running smoothly and get our homepage customized and ready for Hurricane Season. No donation is too small, but please give what you can.

If you send a donation, please PM an Admin or another staff member so that you can get your "Storm2k supporter badge" if you so desire.

There's a donate button on the top of every forum page. Simply click the button and it will take you to the donate form/page.

If you prefer to send a check or money order, you can send your donation directly to Marshall (mf_dolphin) and he will transfer the funds to the Storm2k account. You can send those to:

Marshall Frank
1847 58th Street S
Gulfport, FL 33707


Thank you in advance for your support.

Hi, dixie. The PayPal account to send donations is working, but the link on the homepage isn't. Here is the information to donate via PayPal as posted by Marshall in another thread.

Thanks, everyone.

Yes the paypal is working. Log on to your paypal, click the send money tab, and enter the email address provided above. I just sent money, and will do more periodically as needed.

Thanks for the great site. Image

Thank you to everyone so far. It really is great how we can always count on our members pulling through for us. Funds get very low this time of year.. We have had about 8 Paypal donations over the past week so far, and have a good bit of Money Orders on the way via snail mail.. Again I can't begain to express our thanks :-)
