Help us stay online
« on: July 30, 2006, 06:46:47 PM »
We are now attracting over 5000 visitors per month which has caused a massive increase in bandwidth useage and hosting costs.

Our hope is that we can continue to provide this site to the firefighters of South Australia. Therefore, we are inviting you to partner with us!

You can now make a donation to the ongoing success of this site by using Paypal.
Paypal is free for you to sign up and use.

If you would like to be a part of this, Donate Here

As you are all aware the costs to keep this site running have escalated lately. We really want the site to stay online.

We also think the site should be upgraded, maintained and supported properly.

For this reason we have set a target for donations and or advertising revenue of $500 initially. We need this income to guarantee the sites future.

As we progress towards this goal we will post updates in this thread.

If you don't like Paypal or credit cards over the net, drop us an email and we can provide alternate donation methods.

You don't actually need a paypal account to donate money! It's surprisingly easy - just choose to donate some money and it can be done in a few easy steps... totally pain free, no subscriptions, no ongoing annoyances! :)
