This is a first for the Corner: a donation drive.
Every year in December, our web hosting account is up for renewal, and I receive a good yearly discount if I prepay in advance. Unfortunately, sales via Amazon have been very weak due to the economy, especially with little or no new A&M product coming down the pipeline. And GEMM--well, nobody here uses them much anymore. In short, there's nowhere near enough coming in to pay the bills. In addition to hosting, we also have expenses for domain registrations and renewals and other expenses.
This year also marked a change on a personal front--I'm no longer doing web development for a living full time, so my paying gigs cannot give me a "free ride" like they have in the past. I still have a few I maintain, but they are on separate accounts that I do not pay for.
To help out, I'm unfortunately having to run a donation drive to raise some funds to keep these sites going. Whatever amount you can help out with is appreciated! If you are interested, please drop me a private message here, and I'll send along details. Maybe if things improve in the coming year, we won't need to do this again. But until then, any help you can give is much appreciated. I hate having to do this, but we've been going 11+ years now, and this is definitely a first.
Thanks,
