I'm suggesting a ratio of 1 cent per post in your post count, that should well and truly cover it.

I was also thinking this,

I'm quite happy to pay a nominal amount. I'd be loath to make it a cost per post, simply because it'd be too difficult to administrate.

I read several forums, as at this post there are about 120 people on MySwag but 5500 on another forum. MySwag is the only one that routinely gives a message like,

I think the post count was just a suggestion. It boils down to what members would be happy to donate to assist in the ongoing costs of the forum.

In time these performance issue will be a thing of the past.

There's nothing to administer, yet. At present, it's a 1-off, voluntary contribution.
If you were to follow the 1c/post formula it would be $4.74..........I'd call that a very nominal amount........

Having troubles donating, Paypal is saying it can not process this transaction at this time, would this be a problem with my account or Myswags account? Any ideas anyone?

You're probably not donating enough coin 

Seriously, I'd say that it would be Pay Pal, the account being flooded.

Ok we now have PayPal account setup. Please click on the button below and it will take you to PayPal. I have set it at 1 unit = $1.00, Please adjust the unit numbers as you see fit.



Please also keep and eye on the Announcements Section -> Click Here
So does this mean purchases can be made via PayPal now? or just donations?

No worries, thought an updated  eBay price list to include their fee's might be a go. 2 birds 1 stone.
Getting to the bank for transfers is made harder when they only have little parking spots to fit the truck in, with my current work hours it's not easy. I've been trying now for around 4months will put my donation in tonight

Awesome news.....BTW are we going to tell ute???? LMAO

Done and done. The least we can do to support the site. Good luck with the migration - it's certainly going to be a big job.

Many thanks for the on going work and effort you , Jill and everyone that has built this forum to the standard it is today.  :cup:
+1. Not too many other places where the members would have been begging the administrators to accept donations - I think that shows how much people value the work that goes into keeping the lights on. If everyone throws in a couple of bucks, we'll be at the target in no time.

Cheers!

So very Agreed Matto.  I haven't visited too many places (internet or not) where people beg someone to take their money ... okay ... except maybe Melbourne Cup Day.

What a Warm & Fuzzy bunch of people we all are!!  Well Done.   :-*  Where's the Group Hug Icon?
