Is GeekHack in need of continued funding support?
« on: Wed, 28 August 2013, 14:17:00 »
It has been pointed out to me I post quite a bit.  ::)

I'm curious to know if anyone has ever done a cost/post breakdown?  8)

Also since we don't have any ads etc, I'm assuming geekhack gets paid for by donations and the generosity of imav and 'others' etc, perhaps other sponsor/partnerships I don't know about.

No one really ever mentions it but I was just curious as an avid user of the forum and a grateful member how bad is geekhack in need of funds to keep it going?

Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen."

I didn't think Geekhack was in the retail business.

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

Is VigLink enough to keep it running?

I've donated a little bit but definitely not enough to cover the bills. I do hope VigiLink works!!!

MAYBE WE SHOULD APPLY TO THE GOVERNMENT FOR FUNDING. THEY FUND ALL SORTS OF CRAP SO WHY WOULDN'T THEY FUND US?
