Sandy Larsen Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022  Our fundraising drive for 2023/2024 has officially begun! And we are already nearly 1/3 the way to our $1500 goal. There is a new DONATE topic pinned near the top of the home page. Donations can be made there at any time, including right now. 😎 Here is a ink to that page for your convenience:  The current goal is $1500 which, if achieved, will pay hosting fees for between one and two years, depending upon usage. Of course, there is nothing wrong with surpassing that goal. Doing so would just mean extending the time before having our next fundraising event. Thank you for your donations!  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 For some odd reason some get to see the Paypal option, others don't. Mark Knight used PP, quote Mark Knight : "I used PayPal. Once I clicked on the PayPal option, I was taken to the PayPal website to complete their side of the transaction. Once that was completed, I was returned to the GoFundMe page. Easy, simple, and painless." I just checked it myself and I did not see the Paypal option either. Could be because I'm from Belgium, no idea. I don't have PP so it was no issue with me, but I can see there's something odd.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Bulman Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 Up to $570 after two days. Enough for about 6 months. I think the goal is to not have to do this every few months, to sustain the forum for a year, or more. If you post here frequently or on occasion or only visit to peruse the forum for its historical value, please consider a small donation.

I just checked into it, and it turns out that GoFundMe accepts PayPal payments only in the United States and Germany. (If we were a charity they would accept PayPal in all supported countries. But we're not.) Hang on guys, I think I have a solution that I might be able to have up later in the day. And I could use Ben's donation to test it.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denis Morissette Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 I am in Canada, and I was able to donate through Paypal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the Help page that said GoFundMe accepts PayPal payments only from the United States and Germany is outdated. Canada now works and there may be others. I'll fix the problem accordingly.

Guest Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 (edited) The Paypal option also depends on where your home-base is (as a receiver of funds, not just as a donator).  But it shouldn't be a problem as Paypal is managing all the Gofundme transfers.    Edited October 13, 2022 by Jean Paul Ceulemans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandy Larsen Posted October 8, 2022 Author Share Posted October 8, 2022 The donation system is now accepting PayPal donations from all major countries. If you go to the main donation topic (named "DONATE TO THE FORUM HERE") the instructions will tell you what to do. Â (BTW, just ignore the topic I made titled "Donating to the Forum by PayPal - For non-U.S. residents only." It will eventually disappear, which is what I want. Because there is a link from the main donation page to that one.) Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're half-way to a year. Are a few more people out there who care enough about the free sharing of true history who might contribute? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandy Larsen Posted October 9, 2022 Author Share Posted October 9, 2022 15 hours ago, Benjamin Cole said: Done. Â Thanks Ben! I have an important question for you. When you were going through PayPal's steps for making your donation, it probably asked you the following: Choose a payment type: For goods and services For friends and family Do you remember which one you chose?
