lol, hell no. i'm so supremely unqualified, unmotivated and uninterested, but thanks i think.

shareeb, you do a magnificent job tending to the graveyard x

Shareeb is like the crazy old janitor who never stopped cleaning the floors even thought the factory shut down years ago

I keep thinking whether we should have a vote on keeping this place going or not (not only because it costs me several 100$ a year out of my own pocket, and I don't even come here myself much anymore because life does get in the way these days).

 

But of course then TMV decide to reunite... what to do? 

[issordni]

You shouldn't be out of pocket, dude. We should all be contributing. Or hosting adverts for ATDI socks.

How far off are we on donations? It’s been slow but with the whispers of LP7 happening we should get a little more traffic and enthusiasm around here.

We did have a donation deficit from 2016 (our yearly goal is 600$),we didn't quite reach the 2017 goal because of that and also not the one for 2018. As it is, we are at only 207$ for 2018, so that's close to 400$ missing from last year. Add to that the costs for 2019 of 600$ (there is still time to reach that goal until late November) -> pretty much 1000$ that I'm paying for.

Fuck me that's not cool.

[nardo]

It was cooler when I thought it was in the low to mid triple-digits   

[issordni]

We need to do something about this, man. It's not right damnit.

I think there's something beautiful about this place, as a haven from the mass social media formats, where even in its quiet days, it has community charm.

That being said I can understand the challenge of rising costs. I apologize if this is ignorant to ask but are there headache-free cheaper hosting alternatives?
