I hate doing this to you guys, but I need help.

This last week I've been hit with cellphone bill, speeding ticket, court costs, website hosting for TWHT ($60 a year) and domain costs + whois privacy ($20) a year.

I pay to run this site entirely out of my own pocket... I tried putting ads on the site to offset the cost of hosting and domain renewal, but I haven't received anything for that.

If you could donate anything to help offset the cost of running the site, I will be forever indebted.





I'm not trying to guilt you into donating or paying for my expenses, don't think that! I'm just trying to keep the community up and running.

Anyone who donates will get a special "community supporter" badge on their profile, a custom username color.

Also, after one person donates, I'll remove tthe ads from the site.


Thanks everyone

- Dan

Give me until next Thursday and I'll throw some money at ya.

And here's a thought...another board that I'm on (true crime) gives their members an option to be bold. Bold members pay $20 per year and get some extra privileges (chat room, some extra forums, sig line, etc.). You might want to think about that. If only 4 of us went "bold" that would offset your site costs.

Anyway, Thursday. And which method will get you the money the quickest?

Let me start off by saying that you all are the best!

This last year has been rough for me financially as well as mentally/physically.

Members who donate will receive a special "community supporter" badge below their avatar, their name in bold and possibly some other stuff I haven't figured out yet.

You don't really need to give us anything special...those of us who can donate will do so because we call this site our home. :)

Yup, you had 437 posts, & was last seen Nov 9th 09.I just joined on June 21st this year. Not alot of addons in their UER database to explore, which is a bummer.

UER has a lot of little Clic's at there little get together's. I went to 2 of them and they broke off into there little groups and us newbies who had just joined had to find someone that knew Toronto and made them join our group. It's not fun! I'm glad I got banned but I do use a buddies account to check on things. They won't give him full membership because he knows me!
