DZComposer Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 OK, so I finally have a job lined up. Problem is, I do not start until January. My current job ends Dec. 15. This means money will be very tight for me these next couple of months. Any donations now will be very much appreciated. The new job won't pay as much as I could get elsewhere, but the benefits are awesome, including the amount of paid time off. They also tend to do well with raises. Dreamhost charges a monthly VPS fee in addition to the 3-year hosting fee. If I could get about $60 in donations, it should cover everything to the end of the year. Though if I could get even half of that, it would be a huge help. I hate asking you guys for money, but keeping the site alive is becoming harder and harder on my current income, especially since there will be a period of up to 4 weeks where I will have almost no income. Hopefully, this will be the last time I ask for donations. Once January comes around, I will be making significantly more money than I am now. I know what salary is being requested for me, but I do not know what will be approved. Once I start making more money, I should be able to make some upgrades. I have a plan for the file downloads and an ip.chat license to replace the shoutbox, but I need money first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Star Fox Runner Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 There, $5.00 in the jar, it's the least I could do for SF-O seeing how it's done so much for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjakob42 Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 How do I donate? I don't have very much in my PayPal account, but I figure I could give what's left of my account to the site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRedFox8 Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 On the bottom of every page there is a little button that shows a blue moon and "Hosting Donations Accepted" Click on that and follow the instructions. It's hard to miss, as it's right in the center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjakob42 Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 $4.52 for you, DZComposer. Wish I could donate more, but that's all I have left in my PayPal account :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebel_gunman Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Waiting on a bank transfer. I don't even know how much I even have :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DZComposer Posted November 23, 2011 Author Share Posted November 23, 2011 Don't worry, there is no reason to feel obligated. SFO is paid for for the next year or so. Thanks again, guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DZComposer Posted November 25, 2011 Author Share Posted November 25, 2011 If I may DZ, how much is the typical annual cost to run the server. For estimative purposes ~$100 / Yr for the default hosting paid every three years, just paid back in September. ~$20 / Mo paid monthly for the VPS. That does not include IPB licenses, which run ~$100/6 Mos. for all products we are using, or the game server, which is about $100 every three months.
