Its not cheap running a site. There's monthly hosting payments, yearly domain payments, and random expenses.
If you want to see AmKon continue for another year, or even another month, please donate what you can to help keep this place alive.
We don't want to go down the route of advertising do we?
Donate what you can. A few bucks here and there from everybody is more than enough to keep this place running indefinitely.
Thanks.

$10/month for hosting. Times are tough for a lot of people though. Luckily I am working two jobs right now so I had the extra $10 lying around.

Any bit of money helps. This cash is going straight to board maintenance, none of us see a penny shit.
This is an unpaid volunteer position for all of us :P.

Thanks. I would send an email to jasn just to confirm it went through. He doesn't seem to check that account very often.

Will Jason alow a Ludite like me to send a check?
must admit i'd been meaning to transfer a few dollars in a couple of weeks ago but had some unexpected bills, will add to whats already been donated this week.
thanks to everyone who have helped out, and we completely understand that there are some that can't help out at the moment as well.
i know how much ads can help ruin the feel of a forum and it would only ever be a last resort for any of us to consider it.
cheers.

if it was a site sponsor id be all for it.
but a site sponsor is pretty tough when theres not really a big market here anyway
(on AusRC.com we have rc shop sponsors help pay the bills for an RC forum/RC users.. but what can we offer a sponsor, really?)
ill chuck a 20' your way when i get paid this week.
