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

Is the Paypal address still the same? I need to help keep this going, it has helped me too much to not appreciate...

NO_H2O July 25th 2013 04:37

Yes. dave@dtmengineering.com.
Thanks.

NO_H2O March 15th 2014 08:56

Domain name renewed for 2 years.

NO_H2O January 25th 2016 16:25

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.

volkdent May 18th 2016 01:50

Lemme know when it's time for more funds please.

Sent you a little something by paypal to help out..........

owdlvr November 27th 2017 19:41

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!

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

Its better to have a small amount already than looking for it

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.

owdlvr December 5th 2017 21:15

Just sent in $125.

Cheers, thanks for getting us back up and running!

NO_H2O December 5th 2017 21:46

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.

rioprelude December 5th 2017 22:39

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!

rioprelude December 5th 2017 22:41

Thanks owldvr, I received your donation. So we are down to $125 left to host it through next year.

rioprelude December 12th 2017 00:08

Volkdent contributed $75, so we are down to $50 for hosting in 2018.

Thanks everyone!

Steve C December 19th 2017 05:18

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

rioprelude December 19th 2017 22:02

Sure, it's in this thread. PayPal address is admin@germanlook.net.

Thanks!
Jarrod

rioprelude January 9th 2018 14:38

Greenman donated $50 AU, so we should be good for 2018!

Thanks all!

owdlvr January 16th 2018 00:42

Nice! Thanks for helping out everyone.

effvee January 31st 2018 16:49

Hi everyone, question, how do I make a paypal payment. I only see an e-mail link.

rioprelude January 31st 2018 20:22

Hi Effvee, the PayPal address is: admin@germanlook.net

Thanks!
Jarrod

owdlvr July 21st 2018 01:33

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

rioprelude July 22nd 2018 08:28

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!

owdlvr July 22nd 2018 17:55

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

rioprelude July 22nd 2018 23:02

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 :)

Clatter June 19th 2020 14:10

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

rioprelude June 19th 2020 22:57

Got it. Thank you!

DORIGTT June 23rd 2020 03:48

How much more do you need?
