| I am posting this because I am sick of always being forced to pick up the tab for the site. Contrary to popular belife, I am not made of money and this month has been horrible for finances due to various reasons. So basically come the last day of May if people do not want to donate money to pay for the server, I am going to end it. If you have any comments or questions now is the time to state them. |

| Name a Price. Also whats the future of the forums? I do not have much money and I do not have Any way to pay for things online so thats a problem too. But what would help? |

| Our current plan is currently 10 bucks a month, but we can drop to a plan that is half the space (250 mb) and pay monthly through paypal for 5 bucks a month, which might be more affordable. |

| So if the 10 dollar a month is what now? If it suits the site over the 250 size then lets just do it. I think I can do ten a month. But also if you donate you should get more then just this forum...like say a email or something. |

| I'd be willing to donate. Just give me some time to turn 18, and go to college. My parents don't enjoy the online payment thing. Also, if this site is still up in 6 years, I'd be more than willing to pay for all of it then. In 6 years, I'll have my PharmD, and will be making 100 grand a year. Minus tax. |

| I should be turning that in 3-6 years as well. |

| Seems to me, if we have a paypal account created for this site, and people can just randomly donate however much they want through paypal, we'd keep up the 10 bucks a month. Also, that way, if someone donates, say, 20 bucks, the funds will roll over to the next month, and, lots of little donations would add up as well. Mike, I say, set up a deciv paypal account, let us know the account name, and see what happens. If you have enough to make payments, do it, if not, just send the little that ws sent, back. |

| maybe i could just swing by jerek's place sometime and give him money or we could all hangout again like when we saw serenity and i could give you money then. I work every day so i can afford to give you guys a few dollars. but to get the money from me you would have to let me know at least a week in advance. |

Aw, I want moneys.  But yeah, Paypal donations work great, we set that up for my SG regiment. They're still doing it to pay for hosting, and also some special events. |

| If it's easy to do, I'm up for it. Pat - |

Sorry, been too busy to do almost anything recently.  Had to move everything I own to the garage and back so they could tear up our floors and put in carpet that isn't matted flat and have areas where old puppy pee has started growing mold...  (Thanks, Spike, for doing such and awesome job cleaning up after your dog.  ) |

| OK i don't post much on here but i have been reading, and so we all make donations right, thats a good idea, like josh said its had to come by money when you have responsiblities, but i know we are more than willing to help in anyway we can and if we get extra cash, i would hate to see deciv shut down.. the more we stick together the happier we'll be lol |
