Only another 684 dollars to go. That means there are only 68 chances left to purchase. Get them while they are hot!

Alright, we are only 120 dollars out from the goal right now. Let's finish this off...

Only $110 left to go! Let's reach that goal before the weekend.

And now we're $10 over the goal! Great job and congratulations everyone!

Now 50 dollars over the goal. Well done gentlemen/ladies. Also a special thanks to Jean for reviving this thread for service in this year's drive.

There. I just ticked it over the $3500 mark. :)

Where do I mail my check? I love myArmoury, and probably spend more time reading articles here than actually using my swords. I am happy to contribute, do I make a chack out to Nathan, and where do I mail it?

(Are these obvious points, that I have somehow overlooked?)

Hi Tony,
The site currently accepts PayPal donations via this page:

What can I say... The contest motivated me. :)

It is that time of the year! I just wanted to give this thread a bump to remind everyone to set aside some money for a donation next month (or this month). Last year we had a tremendous response from members, and hopefully we can duplicate or exceed last year’s results.

It's never too early. Or often. ;)
One down,

I got my donation in. :)

Well made my first donation to keep this ball rolling along and might/probably make small and repeated contribution to keep the amount donated rounded out to nice multiples of hundreds of dollars i.e. when we hit something like $990 and are stuck there for a while I will probably just " goose " the amount again and " bump " the Topic back to the top.

Maybe some people will want to beat me to it. :p :p :p In that case I will have to wait for the next time the amount is close to a round number. ;) :lol: ( Call it appealing to the competitive nature of participants: Maybe Nathan can have a competition this year for the five biggest amounts donated in total and one for the most number of repeat contributions ? ( Well, with a minimal amount of $10 so that people don't start donating in pennies. ;) :lol: ).

Part of the reasons we got a lot of donations last year is, I think, that this has to be a bit of fun in addition to supporting the site.

Finally, repeating what I must have said a few times in previous years: If you read these Forums and like all the featured articles that are part of this site, and visit here often, it's in your best interest to help keep it going.

Also, big donations from " The usual Suspects " is a really appreciated boost to the amount raised but numerous small donations add up also and the more people contribute help to show some appreciation for all the work done " FOR FREE " or at a deficit by Nathan ( Costs him money and time he could be using making money, elsewhere, to run this site and keep it going: I'm sure it's something he is doing because he really want to do it, but that doesn't mean it isn't a burden at times ).

So a thousand people giving $10 is actually better than a hundred people each giving $100 because it means that a lot more people are expressing their appreciation: The money may be the same but I'm sure that more people contributing is a morale boost for Nathan and the rest of the moderation/features team who contribute a lot of there time for free.
