Just looking at the Who's Online list and I can see a lot of bot-like activity (many of the "guests" have very similar IP addresses). I'm not convinced that this new package is doing what it is supposed to do.

Yes, the bots seem to be back. We've got three pages of guests as usual. ::)

Hi Sylvia -

If there are things that you need to do to maintain the website and money should be spent, then please let us know.  The 5 euros that I spent to join 6 1/2 years ago seems like a very very small price to pay for the value that we members receive here at PF.  Maybe we need to have a "pledge drive" like public TV!   :easterhop:  I would gladly make a donation and I am sure that many other members would, as well.   :bloom:

(love these Easter emoticons!)    :easter:

In our region we had the same problem Pynedor reported a few posts back, for a couple of hours this evening :-\

Indianna has a good proposal.

Yes she does. I know you don't like accepting any donations other than the membership fee which is equal for all members, and for very good reasons. But perhaps you should consider allowing us to contribute on a one-time basis at least, privately and voluntarily of course, if there is a need to pay for upgrades, etc. It is worth it to us to keep this forum running smoothly.

Sorry for the confusion!  That is something that happens here in the US - an event where people pledge (promise) to give money.  For example, our public TV and radio stations here in the states have certain times of year when they ask people to give money to help pay for the cost of operation as they do not have advertising commercials the way that regular stations do.   :bunny:

didn't Collectobil have a simple "donation" button that went to some sort of Paypal account where you could make voluntary contributions for administrative costs? Would something like that work here? I looked around but since the new owner I do not see it or I dreamt it.
