OK, folks here is the deal.
I'm sick of the hacking and getting things done on the tech side. I've got a handshake deal to transfer to a local company where I know several of the people. They offer superior security to what we have now and they back the site up every six hours off-site instead of me having to do it manually. Our current company doesn't like dealing with the board and has argued the front page was what was causing the past problems and wanted to sell an upgrade package to a different blog that uses in my opinion, inferior technology. They are unhappy with how much storage we use and have been pushing for a move to a higher tier account as well.
If I did everything they want, the site cost would go up 77% a month.
The company I'm talking to asked what we do, they told me there was only one blog platform they considered good enough and it's what we are using and likewise our message board software is one of two packages they are willing to work with, they cost 67% more than what we spend now. So either way the site cost is going up but raising costs less and getting better service and security seems like a really simple decision.
To make it happen, I need you guys to kick in $200 a year to keep the site in the current break-even state. Raise more, we pre-pay and save a bit, if enough comes in, we can start dumping some of the ads, maybe all of them.
I'll post paypal and amazon links later if you want to kick in.

Nah, in Blackies case he is only offering a small leftover piece of his 100 grand candy bar. As if someone would want to eat anything that he had his dick-skinners on.  |
