To say I am disappointed with the results of my request is a gross under statement.
Since the request 11 people have donated, one member from the USA went to great trouble to make
sure we received it. I understand that a couple of members who donated last year didn't need to do it again this year.
Those that have donated relates to a ratio of around 1 in 100.
The cost of the server alone is over $1000 per year, we do not advertise and admin. do their work for free often
spending their own money.
Personally if it was my decision I would rather close the Forum down when the money runs out rather than asking the Admin.
to prop it up.
To those 11 people thank you very much.

Tend to agree E Orix...if it is not forthcoming admin shouldn't be footing the bill... :think:

just made a small donation, it's not much but as you say if more made the effort our costs would be covered easily.
hopefully the AFF can continue and prosper.
no need for a reciept.
thanks for keeping the wheels turning.... :thumbup:

Thank you, ALL donation assist.
Our system requires me to send a Pm with a receipt number and they are issued when the donation shows up.
Thank you once again Admin.

I'll make a donation, but I can't help but wonder why it's $1000 per year? I have my own dedicated linux server running multiple websites, databases, forums, etc. (even minecraft, for the kids!) and it's under $100 a year.
