Our finances

#1

Post by ponchi101 »

Dear all.
At the beginning of TAT2.0, I found the web host HOSTINGER. They gave us a 4 year, $99 deal, which will expire on December 6th (I can't believe it has been 4 years of TAT2.0 already). From now on, we need to pay a hosting plan of $83.88 PLUS a domain fee of $17.17. Our total yearly is therefore $101.05 which, considering my nickname, is kind of funny.
The forum will continue for at least one more year.
Regs,
Me

I second this.

Me, too. There's no reason why one person should bear the cost of these fees alone.

It should be a calculation based on how bad you do in the contests

is there a bank account to which one can send funds? If you publish that here, we can all send..maybe a suggested contribution would help - $25? $50?

Thanks to all for your messages.
It was not my intention to ask for contributions, but I would welcome that. As Suliso says, the forum's expenses are not unreasonable.
For the people in the USA, I could receive Zelle. But that leaves out the people outside the United States. I recently checked PayPal (for other reasons) and I cannot open an account with PP that will deposit in the USA if I open it in Colombia. As my expenses for the forum are in $$$, I would rather do that there.
I will be in the USA in January, and then I can set my PP account to link with my account there.
Then, it will be for everybody on a personal basis to decide how much to contribute. phpBB has a very convenient PP extension.

Again, thanks to all for your support.
