Default Begging Letter

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

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.

Would I be correct in assuming that you're still accepting contributions? I'm a complete div when it comes to audio electronics, so would like to help financially.
