Remember this thread?

Did you forget?

To donate of course

For this great source

Of discussing and sharing

Your thoughts and swearing

 

Keeping this up will please us all

Otherwise, this board might fall

 

So grab some coins

Or sell your loins

Whatever you do

Don't feel forced to

The gun in the hand

Of this commissary band

Is just here to assure

That this site will endure

 

Brothers and sisters from young to old

Asking to donate is what you've been told

 

Thank you for your time

To read this little rhyme

This forum is great.

As always, the members of the community came through to ensure that this great site remains available to support [s]our collective addiction to[/s] the hobby. In twelve days we raised $3,200 total raised. Meanwhile, [member=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 [s]servitude[/s] 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.
