Paying the L19 bills

Post by Joaz Banbeck »

[admin]

It's that time again. The hosting and domain fees are due soon. We need about 100 USD per year to keep L19 running. If a score of people contribute just the cost of a cup of coffee, we'll be fine. ( I chipped in the first one, so it's down to 95 USD )

If you want to contribute, please use paypal:
Recipient's name: L Nineteen
Recipient's e-mail: 5ab(AT)fifthavenuebooks(DOT)com

Thanks,
JB

We have 6 donations so far, most larger than 5 USD. We're about halfway to meeting the minimum costs. Thanks to all of you.

BTW, if we get more than the required amount, we could upgrade to 'unlimited' bandwidth. Which I guess just means 'a lot more'. Presumably it would be faster.
Or we could get email addresses like admin@lifein19x19.com or donations@lifein19x19.com.
Or we could have a modest cash prize for winning the L19 tournament.
Or we could buy pizza and beer for the admins.

Any suggestions/opinions?

Or we could keep it for next year. I'd rather have a beer for the admins, but this is an option too, if you want to make a poll.

Beer for admins. I spend enough time here that ya'all deserve it, but also, if ya'all GET the beer, I might get away with more. =D :evil:

It looks like we came in about 24 USD over the minimum. Thanks, everybody.

2012 EDIT: Please note that this was the 2011 bills.

Hmmm...that's a good idea. I set it up in a temporary manner, but we should be able to make it permanent.

[admin]

It is time for paying the 2012 bills. We need $108.72 for hosting expenses.

We had a $34.57 leftover from last year's donations, which we were going to spend on pizza and beer for the admins. But we could not reach an agreement on that. ( I do NOT drink light beer, and anchovies belong on cat food, not pizzas ) So we still have the leftovers.

$108.72 - $34.57 leaves us in need of $74.15 US dollars. The paypal donation info is at the top of this thread.

Thanks
-JB
