Site Financial Thread
To get this site back up and running, several people donated time and money.
To keep it running we have set up a system. An ad banner or banner/forum section combo can be bought for an annual fee. Alex will be the contact for this. If a shop or vendor would like to sponsor our site with an ad package, contact Alex via PM or email admin@germanlook.net . I have set up a paypal account just for the sites donations. I will keep a running total posted for money in and out of the account. This way members can see when funds are put in and when they are spent and what they are spent on. I do not have all of the info for the start up expenses so we will start from when the paypal account was opened. A donation icon/link has been installed on the main page. To date we have a balance of $0.00 Thank you to Bug@5speed for $50. Thank you PeteVW for $100 Thank you Steve C for $10 Thank you Volkdent for $100 Thank you again Volkdent $75 Thank you Michael Maggrah $40 CAD Hosting fees paid 04/2011 - $110 Domain name renewed 01/2012 - $21 Thank you Xellex for $10 Hosting fees paid 04/2013 -$110 Domain name renewal 03/2014 - $23 (2 years) Hosting fees paid 04/2015 - $110 Domain name renewed - $30 (2 years) Thank you for your donations. |

Is the Paypal address still the same? I need to help keep this going, it has helped me too much to not appreciate...
|
Yes. dave@dtmengineering.com.
Thanks. |
Domain name renewed for 2 years.
|
Sorry for the late update on hosting renewal. I renewed the site hosting plan for a year a few months back and just renewed the domain name for 2 years. The site fund is past zero. I gladly covered the small shortage.
|
Lemme know when it's time for more funds please.

Sent you a little something by paypal to help out..........
|
Wahoo! The site is back!
Can we get some updated Nov 2017 information on where to send donations to keep it running? I'd like to help support, and I know there are others who would too. Thanks again! -Dave |
Hi Dave,
I was able to complete the software upgrades, and move the site to it's own hosting account. It's ~$450 to host for the next year, including $250 for the Vbulletin upgrade, and around $200 for hosting, with email support, and an SSL certificate, that I'll work on next. The new paypal account address is: admin@germanlook.net Thanks! Jarrod |
Just sent you a small present:)
Its better to have a small amount already than looking for it Brgds Chris |
Thank you, I received your contribution on the new paypal account (admin@germanlook.net). I'll match your donation, to make up for not contributing enough in the past, so we're down to $250 remaining, for the next year of hosting.
|
Just sent in $125.
Cheers, thanks for getting us back up and running! |
Good to see it back up and running. Did you get the donate button fixed? I don't know where it was directed before but I don't think it worked.
|
I still need to update the banner, but it's disabled/broken so we should be in good shape for now. Thanks for the help!
|
Thanks owldvr, I received your donation. So we are down to $125 left to host it through next year.
|
Volkdent contributed $75, so we are down to $50 for hosting in 2018.
Thanks everyone! |
Hi
Can you post details for a donations? Its great to be back, I missed this place, thanks to everyone that got it going again. Facebook is OK but important information gets lost there. Steve |
|
Greenman donated $50 AU, so we should be good for 2018!
Thanks all! |
Nice! Thanks for helping out everyone.
|
Hi everyone, question, how do I make a paypal payment. I only see an e-mail link.
|
|
Hey Admins, we've got a new guy trying to sign up and can't seem to get registered. Anyone want to take care of this? Username: eskamobob1 and the email he used is joe94@ymail.com
|
I need to add a plug-in to the site, to support captcha v2. I should have some time later tonight, but it might take a day or two as our software is really old.
FYI for those registering for accounts: You should be able to view almost everything without an account. An account should only be needed to post, or to view pics stored here (most aren't). Thanks! |
Yeah, he's read everything he can, and wants to start posting. Waaaaay easier to have a thread here than answer questions on reddit for him. :P
|
No problem, I just installed the latest plug-in, and it appears to have fixed the registration issues. I wondered why I didn't see hundreds of fake (bot generated) accounts waiting for approval :)
|
Just sent $100.
Let me know if you didn't get it. Keep this place alive! And thanks to everyone who stepped up to save our cultural heritage. :-P |
Got it. Thank you!
|
How much more do you need?
