420/380, 2024 GOAL MET!!!  :yesyes: :minigunz: :metal: :clap:

The extra 40 90 bucks will rollover to next year's costs

Thanks to all who contributed and to everyone who makes WNFF the coolest place around**  8)

Hey all,

Just copying myself from previous years, which was cribbed from VaRK's post from 2019, which borrowed from...  :hysterical:

We need $380 this year to cover WNFF for 2024.

Expected costs for 2024 are 380.17:

30/mo for hosting
20.17 for the year for the domain name, SSL cert, and other minor costs.

Quote
The time has once again come for all y'all bandwidth hogs and hogettes to chip in.  Given the terrific response we had last year, I'm hoping that we can "sell-out" even faster in 2019.

I'm quoting the pertinent information from previous years.  If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to PM The Chief :)

You are free to donate as little or as much as you'd like.  This is and always will be a free site, and contributing is completely voluntary. All donations will be used to pay for hosting costs, domain renewal, and any other fees that apply directly to running the site.  I greatly appreciate donations of any amount.  You are not required to donate, so only give what you are willing and able to provide.  Any overflow donations will simply be rolled over towards next year's costs.

HOW TO DONATE

Under your forum profile settings, you'll see an "Actions" subsection with a "Paid Subscriptions" option, as shown below.  Simply choose a payment option from the drop-down list and click "order", then "order with PayPal", at which point you'll be taken to PayPal to enter your information and payment method (a PayPal account is NOT required, but they'll try to talk you into signing up for one if you use the "guest" option.  Feel free to ignore them).

You can make multiple donations if none of the dollar amounts in the list fit the exact amount you wanted to donate.

The day/week/month/year and subscription length don't mean anything, so just ignore them.  These are one-time payments ONLY.  Once you've completed the payment process at PayPal, your "subscription" will show as "active"

Thanks to everyone who makes this community what it is!

Done. Thanks for this. I used to be on the MLB board when they had it and am so glad I could join this when they eliminated that one.

Thank you for your efforts, Chief.  Embarrassing times, here at Natsie Towers. I've been trying to make a payment since the thread was posted but, this year, Paypal just won't play nicely - and now you've reached the target before they've explained why they wouldn't let me proceed to payment... :roll: Assuming we all safely make it, then it's a double donation next year... ;)  (and I'll just have to endure those cries of 'freeloader!'  all year... :lol: )

It's OK, converting from King Charles tokens to Freedom notes is tough ;)

You'd be a natural Brit, Gburg... :D   ;)  (over here, Brexit has become the stock excuse for everything - 'there's been earthquake in Southampton - ah, that'll be Brexit...'  :lol:)

I actually follow a couple of YouTube presenters on this. They're remainers.  It's pretty fascinating from over here.

Can you believe they have an electorate so divided?  Would never happen here.  :hysterical:

Ever since they got rid of pitchers hitting, there's just no controversy here.
