May 2013 Donation Drive

It’s been a rough few weeks for our website, but now we have a plan, and more importantly, a goal: Stabilize our web presence and settle down!

What are we raising this money for?

The cost to run the site at the bare minimum is $385 a year. But we have a plan to move parts of our site to specialty hosting that will not only make them faster (blazingly fast, in fact!), but also way more reliable. We’ll be taking the maintenance out of our hands and putting it into the hands of professionals who can react faster and with more knowledge so that we never have to worry about down-time or hacking again.

For more information, check out this special page which explains the whole thing in detail.

How safe and secure is donating?

We’ll never have access to your credit card, and the entire process is handled on PayPal’s secure site — used by millions every week on eBay, as their primary payment processor.

How does this work?

Enter the amount below that you wish to donate, and then select a frequency to donate that amount. You’ll then be brought to the PayPal secure website to complete your payment.

A sustaining monthly gift is greatly appreciated, but not required. (Only the first gift is included in the progress bar on this page, if you choose a monthly donation.)

NEW GOAL! We smashed our first goal, so we’ve added a secondary goal: Recoup the $235 it cost us to recover from the hacking and restore our site. These funds came out of our “emergency savings” that we have as a back-up in case stuff like this happens, so it would be good to put them back in place and have them for future problems that may arise.
