Donations badly needed

Postby Matt-Chicago » Fri Sep 07, 2012 3:42 pm

Can you all tell that I:
1. Hate asking for money
2. Am bad at asking for money

Anyways,
It's been a few months since we've had any donations and I've just been paying the money myself.
I was only able to do this thanks to an extremely generous donation from Dad a few months back which paid me back for a lot of the out of pocket money I've spent on SWGO over the last year.

The last people to donate, back in March, April, May, and June were:
Bocca: $30 in March, $45 in May and $45 in June
Col. Hstar: $20 in May
Pootus: $50 in May
Haas: $30 in March
A few people who either asked to be anonymous or did not say who they were when donating: $90 total
(If I've missed anyone or you were anonymous, please speak up!)

So, since March 1st we've collected around $310, while server, website, and TeamSpeak charges have been well over $500.

Without more donations I will not be able to pay for the servers myself. Money is tighter for me than it's ever been in my life, and I'm not even buying baby stuff or child care yet (In my area, infant care is around $1500/month)

I'd really like to see someone other than the people who always give, make a donation.
Many of you reading this have played hundreds of hours on the servers and never donated, please consider making a donation no matter how big or small.

Sent a bit your way Matt. Are you going to post donation threads every month like you used to? It would be useful for us to know when the money's needed.

I'll steal some money out of my wife's purse and send it to you Matt. Wish you had said something sooner. :-|

Edit: Sent you some cash via PayPal Matt. Wish it were more, but I've got 3 college tuitions to pay for along with all the other bills. :wacko:

Well I have to be honest, I assumed the website generated enough income to at least break even and that donations just helped to get higher quality servers. I honestly know less than nothing as far as how this all works. I'll shoot you a pm MC because I don't have any "internet" money.

Unless I'm wrong, to date the website has generated approximately $0 :punk:

I wasn't really aware of the current situation, sorry about not donating. Is $10-20 ok for now?

EDIT: I sent some money at April I believe.

If you have a credit card, pay thru Paypal by clicking on the yellow 'Donate' button...if you're too young for that, either have a parent do it for you and pay them back or PM Matt and he'll tell you another way.
