My first question is:
Andrew, do you take any of these donated funds for yourself? I know you put in a lot of time for this Forum and I do think your time is worth some monetary compensation. But of course that depends on how much is donated.
And also, how much does it cost to host this site each month?

Based on what I've seen from other forums that accepted donations they never were enough to cover basic hosting expenses, so unfortunately I wouldn't be too worried about any money being left over after the hosting costs.. I do hope Andrew wouldn't need to pay out of pocket for giving us this great site.

Hi mate
Nope - any funds donated go straight to paying fees for server hosting, VBSEO and VBulletin licensing fees. I don't charge for my time 
The server costs $99USD per month.

Done! Really appreciate this forum.

So, if you get more than $99 for the month, where does the rest go.
Does it just sit in the account to then pay the next months etc etc. I don't want to see it get lost in the system
I would gladly contribute one months payment each year.
I can't believe that you have been doing it for so long.

For the peace of mind and joy that this site has given me, I couldn't possibly NOT donate something. So, I sent mine in, just now. It's 1:38AM California time, I'm still at work later than I have been since this all began ........ and sending that put a smile on my very sad face.
Thank you for all that you created.
