Looking for assistance to cover website costs

[Sinistral]

Thanks guys, all and anything is greatly appreciated. The 180 quid covers 2 years of hosting and domain renewal - It has gone up by about 30 pound in the last two years, next time maybe someone who has time can get a far better deal.

I also renewed the sega8bit.com domain last august at my own cost of 25 pounds, the site hosting package is actually tied to smstributes.co.uk, but I'm happy to absorb the cost of that one.

Thanks Andy. I hope someone takes that task over.
I´m ready to give some financial help like the others here who gave some. Just ask earlier next time (please, I know it´s not easy^^) and we have enough time to collect the required amount of money That´s my suggestion.

Bump!

Still minus 95 quid and still looking for a few more contributions from anyone who can afford it.

Thanks

Hmm, I sent 25£ after you said you were at 85 and now you're still at -95?

Just chipped in 15 pounds, I'm sure this can be madeinto an anual thing.

It doesn't have to be this expensive. I don't have the knowledge on how to ship an entire forum/site to another host, but I've got a host that costs me 35$/year plus a domain with unlimited space and almost no downtime. If I would know how to do it and maintain it, I'd be happy to take over.

I don't think its the space as much as the bandwidth that costs so much

[Sinistral]

Just a quick update - So far I've received a total of 147 pounds - A big thanks to everyone who contributed! I'm happy to contribute the final amount so no more donations are required. (In the event anyone does I'll put it towards ad-free on the forum)

Privatejoker - your right there was a miscalculation earlier, I glanced my PayPal account and must have assumed that some Canadian dollars was pounds Sterling.

I received an offer from Playgen on taking up the mantle, so will talk with him further about this.

Thanks again to everyone.

Just now noticed this thread. Sorry, I've been so caught up trying to relaunch SegaMasterSystem.com, I hadn't stopped to think about this site's needs. I'm happy to see the community chiped in and made the future of Sega8bit.com solid.

Congrats on the new baby Andy! My wife and I are in talks but I suppose it's up to God on these matters! Good luck!

Thanks Tyler.

I disagree about it being up to god on these matters though - with that attitude you might be waiting a while for her to conceive ;-)

Hey I know im new here so I dont know if you would be interested but I still have a website I pay for that was my old now dead pro wrestling site. Id be happy to host this all there if it would help it only costs me about 40 $ a year.

I´ve sent something over to Andy now, as promised
If it´s not required anymore, save it for future costs

Missed this thread during my absence, if there is still a need for money to fund the site I could send at least something. Hate to see the site go away as I find it quite invaluable.

Dude, I only noticed this thread. I will donate $20 to the cause if you are still accepting?
