Donations
Thank you for your generous donations. Our goal to cover the cost for running this site in 2010 has been reached.
We take great pleasure in running this site and maintaining it for you, our visitors. We have done so from the start in 2007 and will continue to do so in 2010 - and the years following.
However, maintaining a site costs money. Up to now, the bills have been paid from our own pockets, with a bit of ad income in 2009. We could add more ads to RPGWatch but we only want to place ads that are game related and that are under our control. That minimizes the options a bit - but given our prior experiences on another site with ads, we feel this is the best approach to take.
Starting in 2010, we have this donation page up and running where we ask you, our visitors for a contribution. If you feel you do want to contribute, then please do so. There is no minimum amount of money: any donation is welcome.
The following table gives you some insights in the yearly operating costs for running this server:
| Server rent | Eur 700 |
| Forum software | Eur 32 |
| Domain registration | Eur 18 |
| Total | Eur 750 |
With an ads income in 2009 of 135 Euro.
Since we started with this server back in July 2007, the total cost to the end of 2009 has been 1765 Euro.
Our aim is to break even in 2010 by combining the donations and the ads income for this year. You can contribute by clicking the button below, which will direct you to Paypal where you can donate via your paypal account, or via a credit card.
You have the option to enter a message with your donation to the seller ('Add special instructions' option) and if you enter your name, forum handle or nick name in this message, you will be listed as a donor for 2010 on this page and in the forums (if you have a forum handle). If you don't enter a name, your donation will be private and won't be listed.
