I like free and I don't like ads.   I hope the voluntary route works for you.   Going into your own pocket on a monthly basis for a website is a bit much unless you can turn it into a tax write off or it looks good on your resume.

I see it as investing in something that I use on a daily basis. That hardly seems like too much to do for something I enjoy so much. I can give up a few cups of coffee or a few beers a month to help GH.

True that, I'll give up something more trivial like tooth past or toilet paper or face razors for life :thumb:

i do like that GH is free of ads, but i wouldn't mind if it was kept to banner/side and relevant to the forum, i'm sure some of the keyboard oriented shops could be interested? :)

Completely forgot about this until I saw it in spy - signed up for monthly.

While talking about costs though did this ever get done?  If not why not?

I mention in that thread that this has been accomplished.

There are quite a few artisans making $thousands$ of dollars on this site.

How much are they contributing to the operating costs?

I setup a recurring donation but it looks like it was cancelled and I was refunded.  Just curious as to why that happened.

If you're not into the >>DEALS<< tab, now might be a good time to reconsider a monthly, quarterly, or one time donation to geekhack. The backend isn't free to run nor should iMav have to shoulder all the costs. But we all should consider contributing to help keep this place running.

I never received an answer to my previous post:

Still curious as to why my payment was cancelled as apparently money is still needed?

That's an iMav question. I just made a thread to spread awareness since I don't see much else being done. I have no involvement in the back end at all. FWIW, my recurring donation hasn't had any issues.

Can we first get some transparency from iMav ?  how much does he need? and a total how much we contributed a month? I am ready to contribute, but iMavs lack of involvement with the community turns me off to donating
