Neocolours hosting donations thread
Posted: 18 Oct 2008 07:26 pm
Hi guys, I'm afraid it's that time again! (and I don't asking any more than you like being asked 
)
For the last year, Neocolours has been hosted on a communally-funded account, notionally in my name. The first funding drive was relatively successful (and a big thank you to all who initially donated back then), with donations equalling 10 months of funding for Neocolours.
However, 10 months only took us up to July past; since then I've been paying the bill for NC (I admit that it is entirely my fault, life's been busy and I never got around to writing this post). However, to secure the future hosting of Neocolours I'm now shaking the collection tin again.
I'd like to raise a clear year's worth of funding, if possible - this is £120 ($201 US, $283 AU, €150). Whilst I'm not going to name and shame people, I did notice that last time it was primarily the Neopets players who contributed - I think we've got a good Subeta community going here, so perhaps some of you guys could spare a little cash too, to keep us going?
You'll get your name in lights on a new page of the site (we'll be creating a page per funding drive with the list of all donors), and of course the warm fuzzy feeling that you're one of the people who make running Neocolours possible.
If you want to donate, I am happy to accept any amount. Last time we limited it to £5/$10 and £10/$20, but seeing how we didn't quite make our target before I'm happy to work around that to permit anyone who can't quite manage that (or indeed wants to pay more, it's all going towards keeping the site going!). I'd much rather take the hit of having to pay over-the-odds for admin fees on payments than resort to non-donation methods of raising money.
There are several ways to do this:
Everyone: I can issue paypal invoices for any amount, or you can drop money straight into my paypal account. My email address linked to the account is *email deleted*.
UK people: You can drop money directly into my bank account by electronic transfer, or mail me a cheque, or hunt me down and give me cash if you really want to - contact me privately for details of these.
Non-paypal means for non UK-people are more difficult, there are usually rules (as well as risks) concerning putting cash in the post. But do contact me, there may well be a way of getting money to another US / EU citizen to pass on (any nominations for people prepared to be a point of contact for converting money into paypal beans? Get in touch!).
I can be contacted by PM on here or by MSN or email at *email deleted*. Feel free to post questions, ideas, and even pledges in this thread, but do contact me off-list before sending me any money!
It's over to you guys now. Let's make Neocolours Fundraising 2008 even bigger than 2007. Go go go!

Anyone else getting this or is it just me?
