Title: Domain / Host Expiring Soon
Post by: wolf39us on December 07, 2014, 04:04:57 PM
Domain and host are set to expire on 01/16/15 -- I'd like to keep this thing going and I'm sure all you would too.

That being said, donations would be helpful for me to buy another year or two.  I'm going to be moving in a few months so every bill that I don't have to pay will help me dramatically!

Thanks guys!

$70/year I believe -- I'll double check it shortly.

edit:  looks like it's more.

Hosting is $108/yr
Domain is $14.99/yr

Is there a way I can like mail some money or something? My parents check my statements, and they don't know about this forum, they'd figure it out otherwise, and my folks would not take kindly to anything involved with this place :P

I'm officially going to hell now too - I've donated to an atheist organisation/group. Every dollar sent, god cries/dies just a little inside. Money well spent!

If you send money in EUR then it will come converted to USD.

If you send money as USD then your account will be charged the converted amount.  It's weird... but you could choose either way.

Looks like we are almost up to enough to pay for two years. Wolf, is there a discount for multiple years?

If you click the donate button it allows you to donate with card as well, even though it says donate with paypal. Weird, I know, but whatever. As per me I'll throw some in once I get paid.

Also, since many theists try to say that atheism is a religion can I take this off my taxes?

Declare yourself a secular humanist. That's a start.

I get this message:

QuoteHey, what are you doing here - we don't want your money, so keep it, go away!

LOL, just kidding - if you see this message, the person who installed it still hasn't finished setting it up and customizing it, so please be patient if there are some glitches.

I'll just see if it's fixed by the end of the month, I'll get my first paycheck then. Feel free to send me a PM in case I forget.

I'll send at least $50 by the 2nd of January, so don't get too concerned about the money if you don't have any.

I remember when we had to raise money to buy the domain. This place never seems to have trouble getting funding when its needed.

TBH, I've been remiss in sending in money. Should have, just didn't get around to it, so I figure I owe some bucks. This forum is important. We need to keep it going, to be a voice on the internet.

Donating here will also ruin any US political aspirations one may have. Not because of the non-believer nature of things here, but because of threads like "how often do you crap and fart?" You'll never be taken seriously again.

I want to thank everyone who has donated to keep the site up. We are good for another year.

Remember you guys the eyes and ears of the site. You see anything that is not running right with the host (Slow Speed, Down time, etc) let wolf or me know so we can fix it. Because if the host sucks then the money that everyone put into the host will be a waste.

Again thank you for your support.
