Donation Explanation
If you enjoy visiting this website and feel you get good value from it, please help me to maintain it by making a small donation towards my out of pocket expenses for the site. This year, in addition to my time, I will spend about $400 to keep the site going, this being the cost to me of a specialist software business installing an upgrade to the forum software plus some small enhancements, (badly needed to protect the site from hackers and spam), the site rental and the domain name registration. Apart from improved security it will be easier for new members to register on the new forum, and I believe we will see a number of other benefits.
If 20 people each just gave $20, that would cover my out of pocket expenses and be much appreciated. I would like to commission further development to the whole site, and if there is member support for the site (in terms of $ to again cover out of pocket expenses) I will discuss this online and then go ahead.
Please note, I am not selling any product, software or service. By donating to the site you are supporting the site with a gift. I do undertake to do all that I reasonably can to keep the site going for at least the next 12 months, and anticipate keeping it going much longer than this. I also undertake to keep the site free of advertising. For an update on the current level of donations and out of pocket costs incurred, please see a thread on this topic in the "Technical Issues" discussion area in the Forum.
To make a donation is very easy. Please enter the amount you wish to donate, the currency, and your country. Then select "Submit". You will be taken to a screen where you can make your payment using a credit card, or a PayPal account. Note: You do not actually need a Paypal account to make a donation.
Thank you for your support, it is most appreciated. Nick Grainger.
