420SA Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Hi guys Best wishes for 2024! Hope you all enjoyed a good festive season. Unfortunately just like last year, I'm having to reach out for help with covering the hosting costs for the forum. The forum has sadly hit a complete standstill in terms of generating any revenue from vendors or advertisers for the past year. So any expenses need to come out my pocket. Fortunately a vendor joined recently which allowed me to acquire some long overdue software and security updates for the site. The renewal of the website's hosting fees unfortunately also come at a time when I'm often financially strained. I'm in the process of growing a business which is requiring constant investment too so I just don't have the funds sitting around to cover the costs for this website. Hosting renewal is due for 8 January 2024. Renewal fee is $78.88 (R1443.13) I'm not asking for much from any members individually by any means but collectively we can get close to the number and I will cover the rest. See it as a tiny non-mandatory membership fee If you would like to help please drop me a PM and I will provide banking details. Your help makes sure that we can keep this forum going for as long as we can 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to arrange finances myself to ship in water and for water storage tanks.Send details. Can afford R100 if that helps.Sent from my SM-A032F using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-A032F using Tapatalk Hey bud Thanks for reaching out! Really appreciate it. Any donation whatsoever makes a difference. I'll pm details Sorry to hear about your schlep there. Have had my fair share of stumbling blocks at my business premises. They never seem to end really but we push on. Have you looked at the possibility of getting an RO system? Or are you looking at too high volumes for an RO system to cope with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

420SA Posted January 7 Author Share Posted January 7 Hi guys So far there have been donations from 2 members totaling R600-00. Hosting expires tomorrow (08/01/24) so there is a chance the site will go offline until I can scrape the rest of the funds. I will do my best to get the site back online as soon as I can manage to. During that time you can contact me at the forum's gmail address 420saforum@gmail.com as the primary mailboxes will likely be suspended as well.

420SA Posted January 9 Author Share Posted January 9 Just wanna say a big thanks to @DesignatedDave for covering a very large portion of the web hosting cost. The forum goes on Thanks to @West Coast Vaper as well for helping out! 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
