Another generous member has donated $32 to the cause. I am working with the Forumatic team to determine our rate for November, now that we have a better idea of the traffic this site is generating. I will share with everyone the result of that discussion.

I am optimistic that we can use the $30/mo plan to cover our usage over the next month.

Good news. We will be able to proceed at the $30/mo rate, as it most closely matches our actual traffic on this site.

Also, another member has made a $20 donation. Thank you!

$305 raised erases the $72 deficit and leaves a balance of $233 for 8 months of hosting fees to keep this site operational ($29/mo).

Actually half as expensive but I have to pay minimum 1 year in advance rather than about $15 monthly.

Hey guys, thanks for asking.

Annual site hosting fee is $200 and the domain costs about $15/yr. The yellow donate button at the bottom of the page is easy to use or maybe we can meet up at a future home game. I was hoping to go Thursday if my wife gets out of work on time.

Thank you for your generosity! I'm proud that we have never spoiled this site with ads even if it could easily generate thousands of dollars each year.
