Donation-drive 2010

[zicada]

Hi all,

It's time again, hat in hand, to ask you all to please consider donating.

Currently, there are some issues with the ownership of the alandfaraway domain, which is currently owned by a former member who has not been around for a long time. It is set to expire in Feb19, which may require some monetary effort in order to get it back in one piece.

I have just paid the yearly upkeep for the web/mysql/vault server, and our paypal account didn't have the funds necessary to pay me back yet, so that'd be nice also.

Depending on the funds generated this time around, should there be anything left over, we could for example use this on professional "be more visible on the web" stuff,- which is in my experience quite worthwhile. There's never enough players and prospective DMs around,- especially now that a new server is coming live soon.

Please consider giving back to ALFA, this is what keeps her afloat,- and remember that every dollar(or krone or rupy or pound or whatever) counts!

Simply click the Donate button to the right of the Alfa logo at the top and follow instructions. This is Paypal, and as such completely safe.

Thanks!

At the risk of once again appearing the dunce...where's the donation link?

[Curmudgeon]

There's a Donate button at the extreme top right of every page, just under the "Sign Up!" button.

After donation , paypal re-address to reception webpage that says:

"A land far away FRANCE" and with some gmail account with French looking address

Those are still the right details?

[zicada]

Yup, that's correct.

Frogs everywhere!

It was originally set up by the old ia who was from France.

Zic, how much money is needed to cut even at the moment? And what sort of visibility things are there?

[zicada]

Pretty hard to come up with a figure on this Rotku. The more the better!

If you can help me figure out why my ISP is crap to the download servers, and help get the information to convince them that its a problem with their network, I'll give even more money than last year

Ah yeah, we can test and see what kinda speeds you can get from the new link here when i get ports opened.

I'm not that old. I'm not yet 40!!!

Oh yes and Frogs for the win.

Thanks to everyone who already donated. I see all donations running through my gmail account and it's going well.

Fancy that, he is still around

Thanks to everyone who already donated. I see all donations running through my bank account where I extract a healthy tithe and it's going well, for me anyway.

Fix'd.

Hey Hialmar, good to see you around!
