If you enjoy the TFP, please donate!
Hi people. I know I haven't done this in a while, but I've been footing most of the bill for the last few months and it's really making it tough on me. I need your help to pay for this site, especially since we're now averaging over 200 viewers at any single moment. We've gone over our bandwidth limit a little bit in the last 2 months and I can't get on as I do if it keeps increasing.
Donations can be any amount you like, but I would prefer a minimum of $5. The average donation is $20 and the largest donation we've ever gotten was $250. The hosting cost for both of the TFP's servers (1U and a 4U) and it's base bandwidth allowance is $400 a month, plus bandwidth overage charges. When you donate, you get a 'Donor' tag under your name which let's other people know that you're cool. I know you're gonna ask, but the answer is no, I don't have PayPal. They cancelled my membership and barred my bank account a long time ago because this site is adult oriented. I don't have any means to create a new account with them. So, the only methods of donation are either via Yahoo PayDirect or snail mail. Yahoo PayDirect: <a href="https://paydirect.yahoo.com/PD/onePage/onePageSendMoneyX-drv.pd?PartnerLoginName=&RecipientName=Andrew+Gonsalves&RecipientEMailAddr=develdevil36%40yahoo.com&PaymentAmount=&Memo=TFP+Donation&Message=Enter+in+your+username+here&Pad=rt5BWXGdcwfOd06VGm7IWg2o6b0-&which=CHARITY" target=_blank><img src="http://sec.yimg.com/i/pd/bn/wd_don.gif" border=0 alt=""></a> snail mail: TFProject 3885-J Cochran St MBE #351 Simi Valley, CA 93063 Thanks.

Alright, I'm waiting on Yahoo to let my donation go through (looks like it's gonna time out... doh!)
And I don't mean to be a dick, but I think I have a pretty good idea where that bandwidth is going. And I think I have an idea (read: someone else's idea from several months back that I'm pretending is mine because it seemed to work, for a while) as to how to fix it. But maybe I'm being presumptious. Note: If you've been around more than a few months, you'll probably know what I'm talking about. |

I just sent you a small donation through Yahoo PayDirect. I hope you get it! I wish I could donate more, but I did my finances today, did a few calculations, and saw that I will be in a much tighter financial squeese this year than any of the past years, and much tighter than I had expected.

Mehoni, most foreign donations come via money order. Just a suggestion.

3885-J Cochran St MBE #351 'scuse my "midwestern-ness" but I've never seen a street number with a letter attached. The "MBE #351" I have no clue about either, little help? Is that a PO Box, or something like that? I constantly wonder if some sort of thread with a running donations total might help. Of course, I also wonder if that'd make some people, the ones that care, keep donating when they see the site needs it. I'd be worried about some people paying too much. WOuld it in fact discourage people from donating if they saw the minimum was met? Would it make people think the board is a money making venture? "All about the bling," they'd be thinking. Or, do occasional posts like this help more than any other stratagey? The TFP's money situation interests me, I think, because I get something from my time here, and I value that. If I knew how badly funds were needed, I might be reminded, "oh yeah, instead of buying that 6 pack of Newcastle, send Halx ten bucks." Just me thinking out loud though...

$400/month? After looking through a magazine I saw 30 gigs a month for like, 30 bucks. Holay shit! How much is the board pushing a month!? I'm getting the feeling it's a heck of a lot more than I thought....

Well, these are quality servers that I can't remember ever being down because of technical reasons (V.4 anyways, damn V.3), that and the bandwith is far more than you think.

I just used my bank's online bill pay service to send a donation check. For those of you who have online bill pay and are too lazy to write & mail a check or sign up for Yahoo, this is great option.
I just added TFProject as a Payee and sent a one time payment and used my username as my account #
