Title: Donation Link
Post by: Snowcone on November 29, 2006, 12:57:04 AM

Running this site takes a lot of resources so I wanted to draw your attention to the new donation link in the top right corner. If you feel like donating money, feel free. I am not running this like many of the other cover sites that require you to view horrible ads littered across the pages or guilting you into donating. If you feel it's worth a few bucks, I'm cool with that.

Likewise, if you want to contribute by scanning in some covers instead. That is always welcome.

I contributed a few dollars cause yah gave me that real nice "Cover Guru" badge  ;D

Seriously .... it isn't much but hey .... every little bit counts. Maybe I was the first too ... hehe

Back to creating N64 manuals ......

Yes you were, thanks Valeman. Lord knows you contribute enough around here that your donation was almost unwarranted. :)

Ditto on the "Cover Guru"    ;D

Hopefully I can get back to Texas soon and get scanning again........

I know it must cost a bomb due to bandwidth etc. I just wish I could afford more but then I couldn't pay for more game boxes for the project eh!!

You know I'd rather you keep buying boxes than give that money to me.

Hey .... some sites have a running total of the donations made for a given month or whatever. Maybe we could have a total beside the link .... or maybe a counter for the number of donations as opposed to  a dollar value.

It would be interesting to see considering the volume of covers downloaded.....

Just a thought .....

Did my part and slapped ya with a grant (I bet no one knows which bill he's on).  About how much does it cost a month to host this site (not including the dozens of hours a week of your personal time)?
