Begging Letter

[John Caswell]

Hi everyone
As most of you know or don’t know, bulletin boards/websites do not run on air they have to be paid for. This World Design one for instance costs approx £300 p.a. So to that end, on behalf of Matthew, I am taking it on myself to ask for donations.
We have somewhere in the region of 3000 members and if all of you gave £1.00 we would be very flush, but of course that is not the case!
So it will probably be down to the active few to offer funds or not.
All I can say is without funds this website will probably disappear sometime soon.
I hope that this “sticky” is taken in the spirit in which it is written ie a begging letter, and that you can see your way to donating to the upkeep fund.
Thank you in advance.

John

So tell us John, how can donations be made?

And we need input from most to make this work, I would be willing to donate to keep this forum going but not to help the ars holes who will not contribute anything, money or input, perhaps a small fee for joining the forum would be possible, for future members and present. Bob

What about adverts?
Some forums seem to carry them.
I think a joining fee is a non starter, why would people give money to a forum in which they have nothing invested?

I'd contribute a reasonable sum (£10) to keep the forum going.

As to how ?

PayPal would seem an easy way.


PS Payment sent to Matthew by PayPal.
