Website Donations dropped off.
 
As I have not had any work now for three months, I'll have to rid myself of thing that bring nothing to the table, the website being one of those things, No Donation to the site this year mean I can no longer afford to keep it on line. whenit comes time to renew in the next month, I'll just have to let it go.

If you wish to see the website stay on line please send what you can.

Now to make it clear, the Website is ran by Me, Jolly. The forum by Jenny, this forum is in no way connected to the website by way of funding, so by clicking in the Donate button above you support this forum, which I have no problem with.

Top Support the Website you must go to the website and make a donation. use the link below in my sig.

Please Help support both the Furom and the Website.

Thanks!

Some how I edited my post and it reposted as a reply.

Jeannies donation breakdown said something like 50.00 a month was what it cost to keep it up. Maybe you can get her to host it too for cheap? When things get hard we need to help each other.

So, Jolly what is it costing monthly to maintain the site and how much would you need to say support it fully for like a year? I think if all the forum members knew a target to raise a years worth of funds for, then we would all join together and knock it out. We would want you to update every few days where we are towards that annual figure (if its a lot) so everyone gets a chance to help save the site. I am not even on here that much but the site is a historical preservation of GMC information that can be found nowhere else so we should all pitch in and save it. Let us all know what it costs to maintain monthly and annually and I will help rally everyone together to get donations in.

It runs about $20 a month to keep online, and the yearly renewal cost are $100, there is nothing in the 6066 GMC PayPal account now. So keep it running for a year it would take about $350. Its not much but when your out of work it too much.

I'll be shutting down my home phone line which I need it to get online, I have ketp so I can get to the website for updates and so forth, we don't even have a phone hooked to it anymore, its only reason to be hooked to my house now is to have internet, it runs me about $100 a month. I live in an area in which there is no intenet service other then the local phone company.

In the past Donations have covered those two items, with the change to the forum run by Jeannie, I have only recived one $25 donation in Feburay, and 2 Dantions in January for $60.

If some one wanted to buy the website from me I would consitter selling it, contact me by PM for a price.

OK - so collectively the membership would need to generate 350.00 to keep it alive a whole year - so I guess I am effectively asking every member reading this thread to reply to this and state how much you can spare towards the $350.00 goal. Jolly is a week too long to give the membershio to add enough replies on here with stated support? If a week is good, then everyone just state what you can do, and when enough or everybody who can has spoken, I will tabulate what responses we have and if we are still short I will make up the balance myself. I personally think the site is definitely worth saving don't all of you? Please pledge your support on this thread and when we have enough pledges, we will get with Jolly to send the actual amounts we said we were good for - sound fair? Lets save the site! I will start with a pledge of 50.00 - only 6 more members with 50.00 each or a variety of members with smaller amounts could be all we need to reach the 350.00 needed! What can you offer?

Today I got $80 in donations from two of the guys that have supported the site in the past. Thanks

I'll keep you posted as the Funding comes in nightly.

The money will just sit in the PayPal account tell needed each month, or when the domain comes up from renewal. I have it set up to auto pay each month, so as long as funds go in they are there to cover the cost.

More Good News, I landed a Job!!! I'll be fixin cars & trauck at Old School Auto and Garage in Kaysville Utah, so in a while when things even out with the new job and getting thins back on track at home, things don't look so bleak.

I have 100 GMC Toro-Flow Testimonials, I have scanned them in a pdf files, any one sending a donation of $25 or more will recived a few weeks, a CD with all the Testimonials in pdf, and the photos will also be in two sizes of jpg files.
