Donated, thanks for linking to the discussion on this.

Might be my own browser, but the banner at the top of the forum pane doesn't seem to link to anything when on the Donation Drive 2019.

Another quick update - we've raised $1800 so far - we're looking to raise the remaining $1200 by Wednesday. Please give, if you can!

Good work brothers; please see the following communique from Terra -

 

As always, the members of the community came through to ensure that this great site remains available to support our collective addiction to the hobby. In twelve days we raised $3,200 total raised. Meanwhile, @Brother Argos successfully negotiated a discount on the annual fee. Including taxes and additional fees, this year's cost was reduced down to $1,346.39. That leaves us with a balance of $1,853.61 for emergencies or rolling over for next year's fees (and we have more coming in all the time - I just received a $50 check from a member and another member has promised a $50 donation soon).

 

In addition, we have a little over $3,000 fenced off for the planned software update. We've been progressing very slowly on that front, but that progress has been ramped up considerably recently. That update should happen within the next few months (hopefully no more than the next six) and will bring some great additions to the site.

 

Lastly, we are working on some swag efforts for the community. These aren't fund raisers. Rather, they are nifty B&C merchandise products that members can use to show their servitude loyalty to the site. For example, I've begun initial talks with a company about another B&C dice run, and we're exploring additional products as well (I don't want to promise anything on anyone else's behalf, just in case any of these things fall through).

 

Once again, thank you to everyone that contributed to the site's upkeep.

 

Victory through faith!
