Discussion

I hate the idea of 'begging for money', but the truth is... my economy is not doing so well right now, and I fear I do not have the money to pay for the server the next couple of months. While I may hate the idea of asking for your donations, I like the idea of the server going down due to my pride even less. You can use the Infosphere:Site support if you wish to help. I am not looking for a big amount, only around 60 to 100 EUR (ca. 52 to 88GBP or 84 to 141USD).

Thanks in advance. Remember, I shan't hold anything against you if you cannot or choose not to donate. Not all are capable of that. --Sviptalk 23:40, 16 July 2011 (CEST)

I was trying to get to this with this table topic, but I never got a response. I'm certainly willing to help donate to keep the Infosphere alive, and I hope others can make a sacrifice as well. We should all pull together for this. - akitalk 13:33, 18 July 2011 (CEST)
Sadly, I am between funds right now. But that should change soon and I'll be able to make regular contributions. I hope we are able to pull together enough funds to help for now --Buddy 07:50, 19 July 2011 (CEST)
Is it a good idea to make it a Kickstarter like kind of deal (but not Kickstarter itself), i.e. with a countdown and such? I think it's a good way of encouraging people to donate. Just have it in the top of the screen with the countdown, encouraging visitors to throw in a buck or two. My point is, only a few people are visiting the conference table, but I think there's a potential for others as well to help. - akitalk 16:49, 19 July 2011 (CEST)
