Forum Funding:Making a Donation
For a long time UAMF was hosted on the same hosting service as one of the Admin's businesses, so we essentially got a free ride. Unfortunately a couple of years ago circumstances changed, since then I have taken over paying for the hosting and providing technical maintenance for the forum. The hosting is renewed in April each year, the running costs since I took over are as follows:
April 2018 £154.08 PAID
April 2019 £162.76 DUE
The simplest way appears to be to use a PayPal Donate button. I've created a paypal account with a new email address donate AT uamf.org.uk.
I know many of you have offered to chip in and it's been down to my lack of of time and effort not to sort something out sooner. Please help by giving as little or much as you like, though would I request that no one should donate more than £15 per annum.
Remember UAMF is ad free and run by us for you thank you for your continued support

Re: Forum Funding:Making a Donation
I'll send something out of my retirement funds in the next couple of days or so (Mrs W is needed as it's her PayPal account doofer and I'm a little clueless so please bear with me, she's a bit tied up with work at the moment) - as my post count seems to imply that I use the forum more than most it would be rude of me not to
For starters having a forum running without tiresome advertisements is well worth the money! Thanks to the admins for keeping the show on the road including covering the operating costs for a number of years. This is a great to use, idiot free environment and I greatly appreciate your efforts working away behind the scenes to keep it that way, hence I have no qualms about sending you a bit of money.

Re: Forum Funding:Making a Donation
I'll be pinging a penny or two through shortly.
An air rifle forum I'm on costs a huge amount to run, about £200 a month! Its nearly always covered by donations from members. But it's well worth it to have no ads and a nice calm atmosphere.
Thanks for setting it all up!

Thanks for work. Little fistful of dollars was transfer.

What's more important? Replacing a glass of water with another cold pack of beer, or using the funds to help out a friend trying to run a great ad free forum.

Re: Forum Funding:Making a Donation
Done James, and thank you for you great work. I would really hate to see this site migrate to Tapatalk or suchlike, as a sister site has.

Re: Forum Funding:Making a Donation
Donation sent and once again thanks to you all for working to keep this forum the smooth running, friendly place that it is and, almost as importantly, ad free - I'm on another (non-modelling) forum and the adverts are a PITA!
