Look, I really hate to beg here.

[Admin]

Will someone, hell anyone hit the donate button. Money is tight and I am $68 short on the hosting fees for PL this month.

I am sorry that donation is a "thankless venture". I am working on some sort of reward system here at PL for them and yes, I have kept a complete log of all those who have donated since I put the button up there.

Usually reward systems on forums involve upping PM limits and giving users the ability to use attachments or the internal gallery but since I didn't want PL to suck like that I took a different approach and threw all of the usability of the forum out there to use... and its worked pretty well *with* the exception of financially.

I really don't know what to say here, I'm not trying to make a profit off PL, I am trying to get it to be one less personal financial worry. Money is stupid tight here just as it is for everyone so I know asking you to hit the donate button is a much more painful request than it would have been a couple years ago.

Well, I guess thats enough groveling...

Thanks in advance to everyone whether you donate or not. You guys *are* what makes PL not suck and I can sleep at night knowing you people are not going to blow your eyes out with pointers.

I also want to apologize for not having much of a public presence around here. As I am sure some of you can sympathize/commiserate with I've been having to spend twice the effort to make half the money in recent months and its really starting to take its toll.

Admin -

You definitely are NOT begging - you should be thanked for all the time, effort, and $$ you sink into this venture we have all become so attached to!

Glad to help out....

Well I have had two interviews in two days, depending on if any come through I will send you some cash... I ran a server for 5 years no donations, my HD got too full crashed and therefore no more server... If you need any donated SQL scripting or other database work let me me know Mr. Admin! The rest of y'all I work cheap as in donations to the admin...
