If you look at the registration FAQ, this is the thinking as to why donations are not normally accepted:

We do not accept any more money beyond this initial fee and will never attempt to solicit our members for donations. Aside from helping to raise funds, the fee also helps all members remain on an equal footing with one another, since everyone who joins makes an identical contribution.

However, I wouldn't be opposed to an exception being made on a one-time basis, if funds are needed.

I knew there was some kind of physiological obstacle, those darn feeling getting in the way again  8}

I just think it is not fair that Sylvia should ever have to come up with any of her own funds seeing how she donates countless hours already

Maybe we could create new accounts for ourselfs and send in more 5 euros ?

 :lol: I like the way you think, but she'd probably notice the IP address. ;) You could always register your kids, but then again, if they're under 13 and you're a member, they're free.

Hi everyone! :wave:

Thanks for the generous offers and kind suggestions about making further donations. :heart:

I need to inform you that the PlaymoFriends fund is currently very healthy because it is only paying for the hosting costs at the moment. There is enough money saved to pay for several years in advance if we stay on the same plan we are on now, and that's not even taking into account future registration payments from new members.

One day it might become necessary to pay more and upgrade to a dedicated server, but we seem to be coping OK at the moment, I think?
Thanks again. You guys are awesome! :*)

Yes, everything seems to be fine for now. No big problems I'm aware of.

Yes, indeed!   :clap:
 
It is good to hear that you have plenty of funds.  Obviously some good management on your part, Sylvia.   :hatoff:

Yes, it seems fine to me. I reckon a bit of lag is normal, and it seems to have essentially disappeared for me. :)
