FUNDRAISING 2014/2015 10 Years, 4 Months ago

Yes, it's THAT time again, and -AGAIN- I'm running behind!
Currently, we have enough in the PayPal account to pay for the next month, 8/14 to 9/14. That's only because I made a donation to it myself, though, since we started this 'fiscal' year with only 141.16 in the account.
The monthly hosting fee is still $234.00. Given that we had, maybe, three or four hiccups over the course of the past year, I think I'm still pretty happy with LiquidWeb as our hosting provider. I chipped in $150.00 so that we'd have enough to at least cover the next month's payment, so our current balance is:
$291.16
At $234.00 per month, we will require at least $2574.00 in donations to cover the site from 9/15/14 to 8/15/15.
CAN YOU HELP US OUT??
Please go to the "Supporters" page and follow the directions there to donate: http://www.dokuga.com/supporters. ANY and all amounts are GREATLY appreciated!!!!!!!!!
I'm so sorry that individual acknowledgements and banners fell by the wayside last year. I'm afraid the same will be the case for this year as well... our three active Admins are SWAMPED by RL and barely able to handle the day to day site duties, y'know? We try, but none of us are superhuman, sadly!
Once more, thank you ALL for anything you can spare. This site has become a labor of love for me and, I think, my fellow Admins. I'm not sure what I'd do if it were no longer here.

I came because of the system message.
I'm not hugely active on this site other than to peruse fic, so I rely on the system messages (they get sent to my gmail) to remind me to donate. Just FYI. I'm sending something momentarily!

HOLY WOW!!!!!!!!!
I just took a short break at work to check my email... and I am both stunned and overwhelmed at the response.
DOKUGIANS ROCK - SO MUCH!!!!
Srsly, I'm sitting here sniffling at all the messages of love and support for our site. You guys are totally AWESOME!
Rest assured that EVERY donation, no matter how "small" you might think it is, is a HUGE thing to me. Every single one of you will be in my thoughts and my gratitude to our terrific community knows no bounds!
THANK YOU, every one of you!!!!!
~~Wiccan~~
PS - When I get home from work tonight, I'll do a tally and let you all know how we're doing. I'm just floored by the tremendous response and, at the risk of redundancy, INCREDIBLY grateful!
PPS - And Roos... I LOVE THAT BANNER!! Thanks so much for creating it!

I donated cause I love this place so very much. Also I made a badge!! I know it's not as nice as a personal banner but it is something for those lovely Dokugans who donated
(PS Wiccan if you guys need help with banners I am willing to offer my skills. Making banners, badges, and stamps is a hobby of mine and I run out of ideas)

If I hadn't received a system message I wouldn't have known about the drive since I don't spend a lot of time perusing the forum section, so sending a message that gets to my email account was a good thing in terms of communication.

Go to the Supporters link at the bottom of the page. It will give you instructions for sending a donation through Paypal.

i just noticed the disclaimer at the bottom of the page:
"No money is being made from the creation or viewing of content on this site, which is strictly for personal, non-commercial use, in accordance with the copyright."
is this why there is no advertising? i don't mind advertising that is related to the site... that's too bad.
