Dear _________,

Firstly, thanks for participating at HCF!

At the beginning of each month I am going to send an email to members requesting a donation from those who are willing and able to contribute to keep the forum going. Until now I haven’t wanted to press the issue but in the first four months of 2009 only five people made a donation and that’s not enough to keep the forum alive.

Obviously making a donation is a purely voluntary & confidential matter but your assistance is greatly appreciated in order to cover the forum’s rather expensive dedicated server fee each month (hosted by: www.fastservers.net). The total cost is currently $268/month which includes:

1) rental of a dedicated server and dedicated hosting ($218)

2) a management fee ($50) for the host company’s maintenance of the server.

If you can help out, please do so – any amount is appreciated! It’s simple to make a contribution – simply go to either of the links below and make a secure donation via PayPal. All money received (processed via Ondizo LLC) goes towards covering the forum’s operating costs.

Thanks for reading this email - I won’t send you another email like this until June!

Regards,
Murray/CGP

I don't have a paypal account.

Is this the only way to make a donation?

If this is the only way, what is paypal and how does it work?

Last time I tried to make a donation for the forum it never went through. (User error I am sure.) :o

So help is appreciated.

You don't have to have your own Paypal account to do it. You can make the payment via credit/debit card if you like to the forum's account, which the donate button will send you to.

I don't comment here much, but I do appreciate the thoughts and comments of you all. Sent a payment from my meager Paypal funds, hope you get enough to cover your expenses and then some. :)

Same thing happened to me (I think)! I made a donation like 3 weeks ago and it has not showed up on my statement yet. I'm assuming mine didn't go through either, but I have no clue why. :confused:

I figured that the payment didn't work, because, I didn't have a paypal account. I will try again. Last time I watched for a whole month and it never showed up.
Thanks laura, now I don't feel like such a goof!! :) Thanks Mavfin!

I just got notified I'm getting a pretty decent tax refund! I'll be contributing as soon as it hits my account.
