I Really, REALLY, Hate To Have To Do This

Posted on by

But I have limited options here.

When I moved to this hosted site after The Great Troll Wars, I paid for 2 years of hosting out of my own pocket. As I recall it was over $500 at that time. Those prices have increased greatly and now to host this site for 1 year, the total comes to $837 and change. With WA Tax added, it will come to a little over $900. With all of my medical expenses over the last year and a half, I just can’t afford that anymore.

As much as I really, REALLY, hate doing this, I am asking for donations to keep the lights on. If I can get close enough I will kick what I can to finish it.

If this turns into a spectacular flop, I will let the hosting expire in Mid September and reactivate an older, free hosted Blog on either Blogger or WordPress. Both of which are famous for De-Platforming people they do not like, without warning.

Something I would greatly like to avoid.

Thank you HUGELY for your past, present and future support.

Instead of having to go through the pain in the ass of installing a widget, copy/pasting code and installing a PayPal button, I found out that PayPal has a feature that allows you to format a Fundraiser, on their site.

I set that all up so that all you should have to do is CLICK THIS LINK and go from there.

Once again, I really hate having to do this. I know things are tough for everyone, everywhere but if enough folks kick in, I will shut it down when I get enough to reach the goal.

I think what is going to bother me even more than having to stick my hand out, is that I am going to have to Sticky this post at the top of the blog so that every time you come here, my begging will be the first thing that you see, at least until one thing or another happens by Mid September…

But it is what it is.

So on behalf of myself and my buddy CederQ, who without, this place would have folded long ago,

Thank you for your support.

  2. I dont do e commerce what’s ur mail address, I’ll send ya an fiddy! US of course as I live in occupied Kanada!

    • No reason given. Like the article you linked said, renewing is often way more expensive than the initial purchase.
      The Domain Name renewal cost isn’t the biggest expense, it’s the hosting.
      The one year hosting plan is over $500 now.
      By paying Bluehost for everything, I can pretty much guarantee that some asshole troll, or even several teamed up like last time, can’t send them whiny nastygrams complaining how butthurt they are and how what I posted triggered them so horribly that they should De-Platform my blog.
      That is exactly what they tried to do not only me, but many other blogs that were on my Blog List.

  4. Shit, with that picture of you and me up there, our readers will send to Act Blue or the DNC fund raiser to elect the cameled tow and tampax timmy…

  5. Well, if I can send some retirement money to DJT, I most certainly send some to you, Phil.
    Freedom isn’t free. Ya gotta pay the price, ya gotta sacrifice, for your Liberty!!

  6. Phil, I don’t / can’t do Pay Pal or other on-line payments whatsoever. Can a USPS delivery address be supplied for a donation ? I’ve been a long time reader of yours – I want to do my part to help keep the lights on. You are a funny guy and have good taste in content.

    Thank both of you for doing what you do.

  7. Phil,

    Am sorry about the entire situation.

    I live abroad, have no bank account, nor any other such thing. Which also means no check or even traveller’s check. I have not sent any form of money to fusa in 10 years. Do you know of some way I can help you, cederq and all us loyal readers?

    I am thankful that you and cold fury have helped so greatly. Now I need to step up to the plate for you guys!
