Title: Annual Appeal
Post by: EricCoolCats on October 25, 2022, 10:35:42 AM
Hello everyone, it's that time of year again where Alex and I renew the hosting and domain name for this site. You may not know this but we pay for everything out of pocket to keep this place going all year. We are both running a little tight right now (Alex especially with a new baby, new wife, and really crazy mortgage) and would appreciate any assistance you can pass along. Even $5 is cool. If we are fortunate enough to have leftover funds we'll save them and apply them next year.

Paypal - eric@coolcats.net

Thanks everyone! Appreciate your viewership and loyalty, it means the world to us.

Thank you Eric and Alex for all you do!  Gotta keep the message board around and not rely on FB.

Hmmm...good question. Not really sure as I don't have any other payment accounts anywhere. Suggestions?

CashApp would be a suggestion.  It's pretty easy to use.

Venmo - @Eric-Dess

Forgot I had that LOL

I'll look into Cash App.

Hmmmm, never heard of it before. Looks like for an international transfer you'd need my bank information. I'm not sure if I should be comfortable with that LOL.

I guess I could also take Apple Pay if anyone is an Apple user. Never got paid via text before but that's already set up on my iPhone.

I dont use or have any apps or online payment services for anything, never really needed them. The only reason i use ebay now is they dont require paypal anymore.
I wouldnt have a problem throwing some bucks into a birthday card and mailing it if thats an option.

You only need an email address, but it probably doesn’t work in USA. I’ve been stupid busy and haven’t had time to follow up on this, but maybe I could send some $$ to Baxo, since he’s a fellow Canuckian?

Eric,

Do we have a goal that needs to be reached?
Title: Re: Annual Appeal
Post by: EricCoolCats on November 06, 2022, 08:41:11 AM
Not particularly, but we now have the next year covered and some left over that I'll bank for the following year. Any little bit helps, as they say.

I really hate asking anyone for financial assistance but man, this has been a rough year for Alex and I. Otherwise we'd just cover it and call it a day.

Again, thanks to everyone that pitched in, we're humbled.

Well hit me up next year and I will send some $$$.  Site needs to stay up as there are only a couple of them out there other than your site that have good tech and a good knowledge base.

Yes there is a filter. A few people were a little, errr, heavy on the swearing side and I just didn't feel like manually cleaning things up anymore. No offense. :)

Just an update...

Thanks to everyone who donated, you guys RAWKKKK. We're good for another year. Hoping there's enough for this coming fall when we get billed again but I'm thinking we should be all right.

Appreciate the help!
