Perry has volunteered to spearhead the fundraising effort. If we can raise $2500, it will get us 13 months of hosting at Andy W's house. Even if that doesn't work out, we'll have money for a co-located server somewhere.
The site is now in YOUR hands. Saving it is up to you.
I'll have Perry post details on where to send money. Paypal is very much preferred.
-Lance
edit by perry: Here are a couple links for Paypal:
$15 Donation
Other Amounts
If you won't want to use Paypal, email me at perry@webmasterp.com for my snail mail address. Paypal just makes life much simpler for us. Try to put Contour in the subject line so I can filter things in my email client.
When you send the payment (Paypal, check, cash, whatever), try and include your username on the forums. If you're sending a check or money order, please make it payable to me.
As of 25 July 02 18:15 Central, we're at $565.91. As of 25 July 02 19:00 Central, we're at $908.20. As of 25 July 02 21:00 Central, we're at $1318.78. Over half-way!!! As of 25 July 02 21:30 Central, we're at $1500.92 -- wow! As of 25 July 02 22:00 Central, we're at $1606.21. As of 26 July 02 06:30 Central, we're at $2325.60!!!!! As of 26 July 02 12:31 Central, we're at $3105.74. As of 26 July 02 16:30 Central, we're at $3400.82. As of 26 July 02 19:50 Central, we're at $3577.11.

I will support this wholeheartedly. I will sign up for paypal tonight.
Lets see how many people we can get together and try to even things out. I'm willing to contribute $50 right now.
Lance, thank you for all of your hard work on this site and for giving us all the chance to keep it going.

Edit: As I stated above, I donated $50.00, thanks Perry for setting up the paypal. ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)

That's ok, we'll deal with cash/check if we have to. But Paypal works much better for this sort of thing.

I really prefer Paypal if you can find a way to do it. Makes things much simpler for me. Money never touches my bank account, don't have to worry about it getting lost in the paperwork shuffle anywhere.
If you don't want to send Paypal, send me an email at perry@webmasterp.com and I'll give you my snail mail address. Try to put Contour someplace in the subject line so I can filter messages in my email client.

I can't do paypal either, being I'm like 16 here, but if Perry would hurry it up, and give me an addy to send the check to, count me in.
Ok, my bad, I know see the e-mail him for the snail mail. E-mailing as I type....

Too bad we did not do this yesterday! 250 x $15.00 min... Wow, that would have done it... Hopefully more people will realize that this is not the end.
Too many pesimists here....
LANCE:
Please post a link to this thread in every forum. Go ahead and delete crap we don't need at this time of despair. We need to get the word out! Posting this link in every forum would surely bring more attention...
