I ran a website with a very popular forum for years

Post by Gymrat »

My site was a weight lifting site. I had 200 pages of info that it took me years to compile. I had an average of 100,000 hits a day. I had a very busy forum. There were no ads on my site because I paid poweb $7.77 a month to host it. My forum software costed me $50. People who used my forum helped me out with that. Yall know where this is going. A small contribution to our host would not hurt. And if it comes to more than it cost him to host this, so be it, his time and effort is worth something. I just gave everybody my old operating expenses to gauge reasonable donations.

Thanks Roger, food for thought. I need to get my paypay account back up and running.

I hear ya.

Do we know if Louie has a PayPal account, or does anyone know the most efficient way to make a donation?

If you go to the homepage: Beerborg.com , there is a button to donate using paypal. I did.

Yeah, there is a link there.

Also remember, Louie will prob give us updates on new things and also about donations if it changes,
but know that if you cant give any now, any time will be fine, a month or 6 months down the road.

Not patting my own back but yesterday I donated $15 to the site via PayPal and dropped a hint that anyone who felt like they can afford it should. If I can pay $7.99 for a Ruin Ten bomber, I certainly can help Louie out with a measley $15.
