[knj]

I feel super awesome right now!

i'm kinda new here, but Mapcore helped me a lot

Thanks everyone, the love you're showing is awesome.

Regarding numbers as obviously you deserve to know where your donations are going, hosting costs sit in the $200–$300 range per year and my hope is to also invest in better forum software which is going to be a one-off hit of about $150 and then yearly renewals of $50 — so all in all we're looking at yearly costs of about $350. Donations so far are approaching the $200 mark which is absolutely splendid — I've been doing this out of pocket for years so it's lovely to get some help.

Thanks again guys!

There you go. I just like our little community, that just so happens to be people producing awesome games. Maybe one day I'll pull my thumbs out my ass...

[Mazy]

Ossim~~~will donate my monies when I get home. Haven't tried Google Checkout yet, hope it doesn't steal my megahurtz

[dissonance]

a bit confused as to why the donation was done in pounds but the budget was done in dollars

either way, i donated! and i do feel awesome

[Mazy]

Hmmm can't get the Google Checkout link working, I get this:

Oops!

Unfortunately, this merchant no longer accepts payments through Google. We apologize for the inconvenience.

[Thrik]

Sorry dissonance, it's because I'm in the UK so my accounts use GBP but I tend to work things out in USD.

There is an alarming issue with Google Checkout right now, which is that they're saying because I'm not a registered charity I shouldn't be using it for donations. I think it might be because Google give special treatment to 'donations' such as not taxing them, but that's only allowed if you're a charity. So I've said they can be taxed or whatever, just treat them like normal payments and am awaiting their response.

For now only PayPal can be accepted and the Google Checkout donations already paid might end up being refunded if this isn't sorted out. What a mistake of mine to try and give people more choice.

Hmm....well i just paypal'd some money in GBP...hope there are no issues!

Great idea, Thrik! And thanks for keeping the lights on and trains running around here.
