I feel rather bad, actually. My present financial state is such that I have to be very stingy, and so I'm not making a donation at this time.
On the up side, I have been watching the updated donation figures at the start of this thread, and I am in complete awe. In less than 24 hours, not only has this site apparently raised the $2,500 it needs to keep going for another year, but it's raised nearly another $1,000 beyond that. All this from voluntary donations, from people who think this site is worth reaching into their pockets to save. There is something truly wonderful and awe-inspiring about this.
There are indications that my own financial mess may ease up a bit in the very near future. Though it looks liek this site really doesn't need it now, I am going to have to make a point of squeezing out some reasonable donation as soon as I think I reasonably can.

Spammers will be dealt with very harshly!} ------- Moonlight Blue 1996 Mercury Mystique GS , Zetec engine, ATX. No mods. (Well, OK, one mod. Before I got rid of my previous car, a 1994 Tempo, I swapped radios. I liked the Tempo's radio better. That counts as a mod, doesn't it? I also kept one of my Tempo's wheels to use as a spare. I hate those stupid ?compact? spares that come with modern cars. Does this count as a mod? If so, I guess I have two mods. Replaced burned/melted blower switch and connector on 19 February 2002 with a 1P3T toggle switch from Marvac and a Molex connector from Rat Shack; I guess this now makes three mods.)

::Sent Money!::
If there is extra money leftover we could put it towards CEG hat's or shirts for the donators. I have a buddy that works at a large embroidery/print shop that I have discussed this with. I could swing us a hell of a deal and be in charge of it. Lance, any thoughts?

And I agree that a list of contributors should be posted for recognition.
And also agree that the remaning money should be put at least into a savings account until it is needed.
Like Perry stated, this topic has served as good recognition and we are not going to post a separate list of those who donated. We don't want to create an atmosphere of superiority based on giving. People have given out of the generosity of their hearts. Some people were able to give more, some less and some not at all. All that matters is that everyone came together to keep this site alive. We don't want to alienate those who were unable to give at this time, and unfortunately there are those in that situation because of the economy. Yes, there have been several unemployed members who dug down deep and managed to contribute which was definitely touching and a tribute to this site, but not everyone was in that position.
We want to extend our utmost thanks to every one who was/is able to give. Know that you are truly appreciated.

May not want to leave additional funds in paypal's money market account. Paypal, although just bought by ebay, still is on shakey terms with some of its users. I am not one of them, I infact support paypal to the best of my ability (have completed over 3200 transactions without a problem through paypal), but given the nature of these funds as a donation, it would be pretty crappy if they were somehow "frozen" or "misplaced" (horror stories I have heard about paypal) Is there any way that the funds can be transfered to an actual bank account the earns interest? Just a thought

Ok, so now that the money is there what kind of down time are we looking at for the move? Lance had indicated there still might be some lengthy down time for various reasons. Whats the plan man?
