We have a lot of dedicated fans of the site and for that I'm very grateful. We now have about 40 commercial sponsors and the fees each of them contribute monthly defrays most (but not all) of the regular overhead, server costs, software costs, phone bills, travel expenses, shipping costs and so on.
We are working on a major upgrade on the site. This requires a lot of custom programming and is a very expensive proposition. We need to raise funds to help pay for that big upgrade. In addition, we hope to undertake some more serious testing and that means additional expenses.
We have had some very generous souls make donations to the site, but they represent maybe .1% of our user base. We currently log about 20,000 visitors per day, and close to 130,000 unique visitors per week.
It would make a huge difference in our ability to deliver new, quality content and update the site regularly if the level of reader support could increase. We have a simple donation system in place -- just click the DONATE button at the right of the page. Donations don't have to be large. If a decent percentage of our audience kicked in the price of a cup of coffee now and then, that would really, really help. If you want to be listed as a "Site Contributor", with the gold banner, we request a minimum donation of $20.00.
And remember that our classified ads are FREE. If you've successfully sold an item or two via our ads, consider donating a dollar or two.
Many hands make light the work. All donations, even modest ones, really help.
Thanks,
Paul McM, (Mr. Moderator)
