Title: Donate Button - DON'T PANIC
Post by: Admin aka Dan on January 09, 2004, 00:02:10: Hi All,

As you may notice, I have placed a paypal donate button at the bottom of the page.

As I have said before I have no intention of forcing people to pay, and I do not want anyone to feel they are not welcome if they do not donate.

It is purely a voluntary donation button.

I am awaiting responses from various companies - hopefully one or more of who will want to pay for some sponsorship.

Again let me say - the button is purely voluntary.

Hopefully everyone understands, and no one is offended / frightened off from the site.

Cheers

Dan

Post by: colinandyvonne on January 14, 2004, 22:53:50: Just made our donation :)

We may not post much but we certainly absorb all the useful information you all supply on here. Well worth paying for in our opinion.

Made a note in our calendar to remind us to donate again in a years time.

Hopefully the money you receive from donations and sponsored links will be enough to keep the site running.

I am in the process of setting up a PB Box so that people who want to donate, but do not want to use a card on the internet can.

I'll put the details up when I have them.

Thanks

Dan
