Appeal to Support EN World!

[Gulla]

Maybe I just didn't find the answer, but what about those of us with subscriptions running far off into the future? Mine runs out October 2011...

If I go for a new 3 dollar/month deal now will that mean I get billed from November 2011? And how does that impact the 1000 before new year?

I understand that you cannot simply convert existing CS-accounts but how many of us "old friends" are around, and how do we figure into the "support the site with a stable income" plans? I assume others than me with long running CSAs would like to help keep the place running

You can always donate $3 a month until your CS runs out - actually, it was a joke, but now that I think of it, I might do just that, since my CS runs at least a year or so, and I want to help Russ buy vodka be able to keep this site.

I like that, but it's a bit much to remember (since paying with automated banking from Norway is donating much more to the banks than to Russ) so a monthly charge on my credit card is much better (since I don't have any extra charges on such charges.)

With the current state of the Norwegian Krone and the US Dollar paying in dollars will soon be free anyway

Maybe Russ should consider getting paid in Euros since the GB Pound isn't looking too well either. (The advantage of the pound is of course that you can get a decent pint of lager or cider for that, which the Euro won't get you).

Euros, GBP and USD are all there.

An interesting question. My subscription expires at the end of October 2013...

Since I've signed up as a CS, I can't see the fundraiser "thermometer", but I'm curious about how the drive is progressing.

 

[JoeGKushner]

I'm afraid not. The yearly payment has been phased out in favour of the new, smaller payments. One thing which is vital for cash flow is the ability to project an accurate monthly revenue, which yearly subscriptions make pretty much impossible.

ah, that was what I was looking for.

subbed.

I'm guessing the target thermometer at the top of the site is updated manually? As it's not gone up for a while and I understand from Twitter that Morrus' computer is currently languishing in a PC World repair garage!

Correct!

I got the computer back today and am slowly catching up with things.

How does one add those "Support Enworld" signature things again? I figure since I won't be able to pay for CSA that I can carry one of those to encourage people to do it. Though, that may make me look like a hypocrit.
