There are 15 days left until the deadline, and not everyone slaps the donation board as soon as the fundraiser begins.

Yes, you said something similar this time last year, Stormy.

Since the money for this subscription comes out of my bank account, I have a different perspective and I wish that every member would indeed SLAP THE DONATION BOARD AS SOON AS THE FUNDRAISER BEGINS, especially since it takes about a week for me to convert the Linden Dollars and transfer them tothat bankaccount. It would also save me from making contingency plans, like paying on a monthly basis which will cost us 20% more over the year.

I also have a different perspectivefrom watching the pattern of donations over the last twoyears. Typically at this point in timea few additional people make contributions but the remainder (which is quitelarge)is made up by people contributing multiple times. If it wasn't for this dedicated group this site wouldn'tbe able to continue.

Last year therate of individual contributors was at5.7%.Say thatonly half the registered members are actually active and we double that, it still only gives us an individual contribution rate of11.4%.

I would love to be able to share the financial burden across a larger group and will continue to look for ways to do so.

I don't think that anyone can have much of an argument againstsharing thecost of maintaining this site more evenly.

With two weeks left before final payment is due, here are the statistics.

Linden Dollars:Total Collected $34,514 Total Remaining $41,986 converted to

US Dollars: Total Collected $139.17 Total Remaining $160.83

So far 31 people have contributed, some more than once.

If each of the 800 members who haven't yet contributed gave USD$0.20 we would easily meet our goal )

If we don't make enough for the Annual Subscription ($25 x 12=$300), we currently have enough for four months at the highermonthly rate of $30.
