Is it May already? It's May. We have enough in the coffers to run for ~5 more months: Moar rattling of ye olde tin boxe to add another 6 months on top.

I somehow have missed this post in the past. Glad to help out.

Admins & Mods:

Thank you for your time and efforts. The least I can do is donate some shillings.

BTW -

I LOVE the "Secure Packaging" euphemism.

I think Tom came up with that one .

Thank you @Atone , @cshorts , @WifeIsVanilla , @Lady M , for your beyond generous donations. We're not just funded, we're funded in record time and for the next 14 months or so. We may still do a LOctober drive just because that's fun , but strictly speaking we don't need to.

Alternate idea - rattle the tin just once a year during LOctober, and make sure we're funded for 18 months from that point. Starting this LOctober. How's that sound?

How much do we need to be funded for 24 months?

I don't see why twice a year is a bad thing but whatever lol

Rattling the tin, once more. We have 150 left in the bucket, and I'd like to raise enough so we don't do it again until next Locktober. Hosting costs have gone up by 20%: 18/month instead of 15/month. I've seen price increases across providers, because of the increased energy costs.

I should probably explain what "donations used" is: That's the amount that was transferred to our hosting provider. I have 0 desire to keep a running total monthly and add 18 bucks each time, so I'm just recording what we moved over to hosting funds, where it'll get used with monthly billing.

Oh, what a good idea to have the pledge drive in LOctober.

[whoami]

Done. And for less than the price of a PSL!

I'm just going to mention: for those who wish to donate anonymously, simply log out of your CF account and then click the link. Or better, use a different browser (Opera, Vivaldi, Chromium, etc) and pay with a credit card or PayPal. The statement on your account will show a payment to a company called "Secure Packaging".
