SIte Status for 2025

[Naru]

Hello Team,

I just wanted to update everyone that I have purchased another year of service. We are good until 2026. The cost of operation is the following.

• Hosting Cost - 207.72
  
• Domain Cost - 22.17
• Standard SSL Cost - 99.99
• Website Security Basic Cost - 95.08

The total cost to keep the site running is $424.96 per year, which comes out to about $35 per month. To help cover these costs, I'll be keeping the donation link open for anyone who wishes to contribute.

At this time, the site is in maintenance mode, meaning I step in only when something needs fixing. I currently have no plans to make changes or add new features, but I appreciate everyone's support in keeping it up and running.

I just set up an account and sent ya a little. Hopefully you,get more than you need and can take you and the gal out for a nice dinner. You deserve it. Let me know if ya didn't get it. Old people and tech aren't exactly a good mix.

Thanks aitm, i honestly forgot.

Guys, I don't want to sound like an ass, though I have no problem with that, and I don't want to sound like a braggart, but Naru has been covering us for damn near 10-12 years without any kind of thanks. If the 20 or so reggie's can toss a fiver each, I will cover the rest and treat him and his gal to a nice dinner. He more than deserves it. So let's step up to the plate and we can discuss our future at another thread. But it's time to pay the man.

I got ducats for the bucket.

I want to help out, but I don't know how to do it with my phone. I just never learned how, because I was afraid I'd be spending all of my money on useless crap. Can y'all walk me through it?

[Gawdzilla Sama]

Just keep your right hand on a wall and keep walking.

I have to have a place to snail mail any funds, which I'm more than willing to do.  Can't do electronic fund transfers.

I just set up Venmo on my phone the day he posted this. I'm damn near seventy so I was a bit worried about it but it's very very easy. They prefer a debit card to use rather than credit card as they receiver has to pay the 3-4% fee on a credit card.
You can just download the app, from your apps icon or google play. Nothing you enter is stored until you hit the final submit button. Then you can enter Naru "@name" and voila!

Thanks, I'll give it a try!

I once managed with paypal, but i'll give the venmo a try.

[Mr.Obvious]

Venmo needs me to enter an american number?
Is paypal still an option?
