KeaneyBlue - The URI Basketball Forum

Despite the hurricane, another very generous donation of $50 was received yesterday.

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!

Two more generous members contributed $20 and $40 yesterday. Thank you!

Another $20 donation for one of our friends here. Thank you!

ATP How much does this site cost and how much money do you have and what are the projected cost for a year?

I think we're in good shape. Right now it's $30/mo. We pay for usage.

how are we doing on money/cost

Got it. Many thanks.

I will definitely see you on Saturday!

The new banner is AWESOME. Not sure where this post belongs, but I wanted to say that publicly. Who ever created/thought it up, good job.

Sir Adam, as always, is our resident banner artist.

Adam....knew I liked that guy.

The new banner really is very well done. Great job Adam!

Nice job, Adam.

Thanks guys! It was nice to finally be able to find some suitable images of the new floor and EC/Hassan that I could actually use.

Awesome stuff!

Love it! Super job, Adam

$305 raised thanks to the following generous KeaneyBlue members:

Rhody74
Neil
Matt
BlueMan
BFC
jmck
RIFan
Ramulous
Running Ram
Rhody72
RhodeIslandRed

$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).

Since May 2014, 15 generous Ram fans donated a combined $280 via the PayPal button on the bottom of every page. These donations have covered all KeaneyBlue hosting and site expenses through this past October.

Thank you!!

How is this doing now?

Thanks for asking. We're doing very well still after the huge outpouring of support before last season.

How does switching host effect the financial side?

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

Let us know what you need financially please.

ATP, let us know the site status as far as donations goes. Last post here was five years ago.

Running off Keaney Blue Endowment?

Yeah, I would be happy to donate if you need it.

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.
