Donations and hosting payments

[no smile]

I’ve done it. A few days ago. Just not expressed it as I don’t feel the need 😉

Just to clarify, I'm just trying to encourage all the members, not to promote myself, I'm not a great contributor by any means, I just like to read and look all that interesting things here and would be very sad without it.

Oh, I did not mean that. Sorry. I replied because I felt like you the need for some recall. And since the donation no is anonymous, I, by the end, felt like it would still be a point to say it.

(And I don’t know why but the Thermo got lower the day after I did my paiement. I know the goal is higher but I believe the total also got lower but I may be wrong. But I’m sure it’s normal, maybe we passed the previous year or @Like Ra did some paiement for the last backup)

It was too old (from months ago) - all those money were paid aeady.

Yep, that’s what I thought. To be honest, I believed it was not quite used anymore... so a recall for donation is always useful 😊

I wonder if something like "patreonish" $3-$5 per month would make it more attractive. Shouldn't break the budget, but it makes a huge difference for the hosting payments.

I like that idea, unfortunately the patreon model forces us to offer exclusive content and rewards. Seems crazy considering all the amount of free content you aeady have at hand, but that's the whole patreon system.

Another way would be to offer merch like T-shirts, mugs, silky nylons... wink wink... but I don't have a clue on how that merch system works.

Or a simple paypal recurrent payment...

That means even more work and even less profit 😁

[Like Ra]

it is probably costing money that the aliexpress advertisements are not there at the moment.

Done!

😟 I sadly agree.
