Our current PayPal balance is $925.23. We are paid through November. That leaves us enough to get through April if no more donations come in. That makes me uncomfortable after what we had to go through this past year to bring the site back up. I still have not paid myself back for the $1k+ I personally I paid to bring the site back up to date. If I don't ever get paid back it won't hurt me, but I know several places I could use that kind of money. Just putting it all out for everyone to see. I refuse to lie about the state of this site. I would feel much more comfortable if there were a 1 or better yet a 2 in front of the current amount available. Thanks to SC5, where our current server is located, we are enjoying a $60 a month saving over our old costs with more quite a bit more service than we got from our last host. They are also doing all of the work for our upgrade which is a massive undertaking since our current phpbb is so far out of date. Once that is accomplished we are going to look into other ways to generate funds, but that will not happen till the upgrade is completed.
I have had quite a few supporters say they were going to make a monthly pledge yet I am aware of only one that comes in on a regular basis each month. If you really intended to do that please go back to PayPal and set it up. If you don't that is fine too, but it would be nice to not have to worry about our funding for a while. If we didn't then once we get the upgrade completed we might be able to add improvements.
For anyone reading this that cares to donate please use the donate button at the top of this forum or the donate buttons that are in my or CajunMama's signature. THE DONATE BUTTON ON THE HOME PAGE IS NOT CONNECTED TO OUR CURRENT PAYPAL ACCOUNT.
Thanks for posting this! I just bought us a month. I'll claim August, since that's my best chance for a CAT 5 IN THE GULF !!!!
Happy New Year everyone!
