2026 WNFF Fundraiser (GOAL MET! 321/200)
« on: February 26, 2026, 11:40:03 am »
211/200, 2026 GOAL MET!!!  :yesyes: :minigunz: :metal: :clap:

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

**claim not verified by any independent authority except the facts in my mind

Hey all,

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

We need $200 to cover WNFF for 2026.

Expected costs for 2026 are $200:

15/mo for hosting (12 months)
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 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.

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!

Rather late, but I wasn't going two years without divvying-up - so add it to next year.  ;)

Did some article come out that referenced WNFF? The guest count is pretty high today.

nah, occasionally there's a bot attack or something that jacks the view count way up. We had a day last May with over 24000 guests. It's been so bad there are days that it slows the site down and The Chief will tweak things on the back end to address it. I think he's set the all time max count at what we got the night the Nats won the World Series.

I don’t think he's posted since the pandemic.  Housed to talk about it on the Mets board.

ExposFan87. Last posted in 7/21, last time on line was 8/2/22 (Soto trade day, iirc).

Tom: look him up under members and read his posts. It's hysterical stuff.
