Jillsy, I'm pretty sure it's been discussed before, but how about charging people a small amount (even $1!) to sign-up to cover "admin fees" (always a handy standby :D)
Just had a look at the member list, & so far for 2019, there are 303 new members, + ~1300 for last year.
Surely a few $ from each of them would go a long way to covering costs?
PS Also putting a donation through now! :D

Your donation has been gratefully received ;D
Mate yeah it has been discussed before. People will rarely pay $$$ for something they haven't got to experience yet so having to pay up front is a huge deterrent for them. We therefore work on the principal that if people enjoy their time here, they will hopefully be inclined to purchase some Merchandise or make a Server Fund donation or similar. I think our biggest barrier is that people don't consider how a "Forum" is created and that the funds have to come from "somewhere". Just the other day I received an email from a Member stating "I am a ***insert occupation here*** who loves fishing and camping I share info and get some in return, if I have to pay for being on this site, I would leave the site" . Just $1 from every member would keep us out of trouble. That's it...just $1. :cheers:

Anything less is not worth the trouble of doing the actual money transfer.........and any more is always welcome .. :cup:

Thanks for your donation Mate - it is so very very appreciated :cheers:.
Why should only a tenth donate? That's like 10 people going out to the pub together but only 1 person shouting the drinks. Just a $1 a Member would be a huge help. Or purchase a Member Sticker to wack on your Tug ;D
