Forum Hosting Renewal
« on: June 05, 2015, 01:52:58 PM »

Our forum hosting is coming up for renewal.
Randy is going to go for two years.  This is fees for the hosting service, keeping our domain name registered, and this includes our unlimited image hosting space and the amazing lack of advertisements...

We are trying to raise $205.00 Which will cover all that for the two years.

That said we are auctioning off a few things to raise the money.

I already have some auctions listed.
Randy will be listing auctions later.
If you want to auction an item to support the forum, that's great!  Please post your Auction in the Buy/Sell section.


Thank you!     :occasion14: :thumbsup: :icon_sunny: :headbang:

Through the Extremely Generous donation of one of our awesome Moderators, we do not currently have a need to hold the auctions.  With that in mind I am taking them down.

I will hold auctions in the future once we get the forum Paypal account straightened out so that way we have a bit extra on the side for unforeseen issues if they arise.  Otherwise we are golden for the next two years!

I think it is a cool idea to hold auctions specifically to raise $ for any expenses for the forum, I would love to auction an item or two for the cause.  Looking forward to that!

the odd thing is, that everything is paid for now for two years.
Unless we are raising money to buy even MORE years, everything is covered.
We should (when we get larger and more popular) our own private server instead of a shared though.

Well we can over time build up the reserve funds for that purpose through various auctions. 
Once you get the paypal account squared away we can randomly here and there hold a fundraising auction to get us to that goal.
