How to make your donation!

"'need' as in what was needed to pay the existing dept and keeping the site going for a year? yes, I believe that that much has been donated. But this is a start, we were already experiencing problems with the load on the boards, so a new server is in order, software modifications, etc... This costs money, also don't forget transaction fees that are unavoidable will reduce the amount listed above. Every dollar donated is more time the site is up at this point, and I for one don't want to see ENWorld in the financial situation it was a few days ago for a long time."

Yeah but they are getting $8000 over and above what they need to pay their debts, upgrade the server, and pay for future hosting. And people are still donating? Where is EN Publishing helping out EN World from whatever profits they make from their tied-in e-commerce store? Oh well, Morrus deserves to get paid for what he does, though he gets a lot of help from people who are also not getting paid. I hope Morrus can put it to good use!

I just sent $70 to Eric Noah as an individual contribution.

I've also e-mailed Morrus about buying more advertising space on EN World and providing giveaways as a company contribution.

Hope this helps!

I'm also very happy to hear that so many others have donated to keep this great site running! Kudos to everyone. :)
 

You can add another $50 from me. When I first read the news about this site possibly going down, I actually felt my heart sink. I realized that I'd put off making a donation for too long.

I'm glad to see the crisis has been so overwhelmingly averted. Work would have been so much drearier without ENWorld. :)

16,000
- 960 tax (assuming 6% taxes, min 3% merchant, doubled just to hedge, but it could be alot more like 20% depending on how they file)
- 1,600 debt
- 4,800 1 year isp
- 4,000 new server (for what I would call an average server)

leaves $4,640, not enough for a second year of hosting. What if the site grows, what about software updates? etc...

I'm not trying to be confrontational, but having worked with a large number of charities I am very familiar with how fast the money flows out.

I've been lurking here for over a year now, and for all that EN World has given me, it deserves my support. You get $20 from me. You all are the greatest gaming community on the net.

Stop trolling, please. It's not going to work.
