    Red face Donate To The Forum (Part II)

    Hello!

    Three years ago we all clubbed together and raised £563. This helped The Third Half buy a legitimate forum license from vBulletin and move servers to a bigger, more stable one. Because of these unforeseen upgrades, the original plan of buying ten years hosting was obviously scuppered. The monthly cost to keep this place afloat is approximately £11 a month, depending on the exchange rate and usage.

    SvN has put the word out that the existing kitty will run dry around August 2019 so we could do with another round of fundraising. Last time I used GoFundMe and the sneaky sods took a percentage of all the donations, so this time we shall use Paypal Money Pool, who reportedly won’t take a cut.

    Donate here: https://paypal.me/pools/c/8b379JwgTn

    You can choose to remain anonymous (hide your real name) if you wish, and there is an option to add a little message if you wish to include your forum username to show you have contributed. All donations are publicly viewable on the Money Pool page.

    You do not have to donate and will receive no extra perks for donating. All money will go towards the running costs of TheThirdHalf.co.uk

    Thanks to everyone who has donated previously and to everyone who does so again. You really are a lovely bunch.

    I didn’t anticipate this.

    Do you need a PayPal account to contribute to a Money Pool?

    Yes, to contribute to a Money Pool you must have a PayPal account. If you, or someone who would like to contribute to your Money Pool, don’t already have a PayPal account, sign up is fast and free.

    £264 would be nice, as that gives us at least 2 years. We'll blast past that, so anything more than that is a bonus. Other than hosting/domain costs, we shouldn't have any big one-off requirements this time around, unlike last time where we had to purchase the forum license.

    My PayPal got shut down so I'll transfer on payday to the most trustworthy person I have on Facebook, which is probably @Mike, as long as he's cool with that.

    That reminds me of something actually, what idiot decided that shorthand was 'ofc' instead of the correct 'oc'.

    Sending money in the post is surely going to be a candidate for robbery from a postie?

    Do a bank transfer instead maybe? Or send a cheque? Sending cash in the post is not a good idea.

    So we're at £285 - that's pretty good. I'll add £20 of my own once Baz transfers it to me. Is anyone else planning on donating, or can we close it?

    Does it have to close? I'm slap bang in the middle of 6 weeks without wages (after changing jobs). I want to chip in but it's a really shitty time.

    Just send a load of stamps.

    They're legal tender, a bus driver would have to accept them.

    I think we're done here. It's currently at £360, I'll make it up to a round £400 - that should see us through for a good few years. Baz, how do you want to do this?
