Admin Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 Dear members It's been exactly one month since I asked for you help, and unfortunately I will have to do the very same thing this month. Paypal has closed the last 2 accounts I had in connection with RWG and they also froze all funds available. All members who have upgraded to VIP memberships will now have their payments automatically denied by paypal and all recurring payments will automatically be stopped. So as last month, I am left without any funds (except for the few members who have upgraded their memberships again, after they have been cancelled). So once agan, I will have to ask for your support and donations. Our hosting bill is due at the end of every monI hope this will be the last month I have to do things this way, but I can not guarantee it. This time you can either chose to support RWG via a donation or upgrade your membership to a VIP membership. Because of the recent paypal-problems, I will not share the address where you can donate in public. Just send me an empty e-mail at give@rwg.cc and you will instantly get all the details you need. VIP members can use the link presented below, only visible to VIP members. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Posted August 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 Thanks guys. I hope some of the regular members also step up here and upgrade their memberships again. At least those that have been automatically downgraded by PP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeeJay Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 I can't make any promises, as I'm not too sure of how my finances will be friday after next, but if I've got any spare, I'll send it your way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victoria Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 No problems, Admin. I'd like to upgrade my boyfriend's account, if I can, on his behalf though he has one whole post to his name (you can see who is going to be the listener in our family). Is that a possibilty, giving you his ID via PM? If not, let's just call it a donation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Posted August 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 damn, how much do you pay for hosting? this board takes up that much bandwidth? Without getting into to many details, there are several servers involved in our set up + offshore hosting, wich is not cheap, especially when you have a lot of traffic every month (150GB+) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK471 Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 How do we know if we've been automatically downgraded. I'm showing as a VIP, but if I need to pony up again, I certainly will. This site has been great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This site has been great. Well, I can manually look it up and I just did. Your membership expired almost 2 months again.

ryyannon Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 so at the risk of being inelegant, how do we 'motivate' the tons of hangers-on who've been profiting from the forum without ever contributing a penny to keeping it up? Maybe I'm too impatient, but really, I've seen this happen too many times...same old, same old - except that I'm just about ready to start getting really obnoxious about it. Not hard for me at all.
