Hi Guys
As you can probably remember I posted a while back saying that I no longer have time to look after the site. Most of the work that has been done in terms of content over the past year or so has been the work of Stan or Ian.
I recently renewed the sega8bit.com domain name, but unfortunately this January the smstributes.co.uk and web hosting bill has also come up for renewal. As I am no longer active in this community, and since no one has offered to take over the day-to-day site management (in terms of development and “Keeping the lights on”) and also the time of year for renewal I’m coming up a little short in paying for this.
As you can see from the attached image, costs for hosting are around £120, plus with hosting on top of this I think it should be around £150
I’ve never asked anyone to contribute to the cost of running this site before, but I think that under these circumstances I would greatly appreciate if the regular users here could in some way contribute to the upkeep of the website, by doing so we can secure this site for a further two years.
If you feel like contributing please send PayPal payments to andy@sega8bit.com, I realise it’s a tough time of year for most people to be shelling out cash, but there should be enough regular members here to pay for this if we all give just a little. All money from this will go to the site – I won’t be making anything. As soon as we reach the cut-off point I’ll post back here.
My offer still stands if anyone wants to take over the day-to-day running of this site (forum regulars only please – last time I posted this I got various emails from random people who just wanted to get the domain name)
Thanks all
Andrew
