hello all
it is now 2 years since i did the gofundme campaign to cover the month hosting and annual domain renewal costs to keep mcnninjas.co.uk up and running.
so if i am to keep it going will need to do something similar again.
annual hosting cost is £43.20, the annual domain renewal is £32.33 (this is both both .co.uk and .com domains so could potentially cancel the .com renewal and reduce this to £11.99)
so about £76 a year or £55 depending on what domains to renew
with how little activity the site is getting nowadays i thought best to see what people thoughts on this were?
in the last 7 days only 17 registered users visited the site and can only see about 4 posts in that same time, but some weeks we get no posts!
ultimately if enough people want it kept and happy to put in the monies then i will keep it going
but maybe it is time to let it die gracefully?
please let me know your thoughts
komp
I'll gladly contribute. It would be a crying shame to see the place die as I've met and am still mates with so many people from here, but if people aren't posting any more, then perhaps it's for the best.
It would be a shame to see the site die but it is on life support at the moment.
I'll happily contribute to keep it going another year though.
Been on here for 20 ish years. Happy to contribute to the running of the site. Met a few good folk through here. Would be a shame to see it go.
We need a good old fashioned Ninja get together to start the posts again, I'll happy stick some funds in the kitty again
Happy to donate let me know how
Likewise; happy to contribute :thumbright:
ok i have made another gofundme campaign
whatever i receive i will put into keeping site running, see below
https://www.gofundme.com/f/mcnninjascouk-site-funds?utm_source=customer&utm_medium=copy_link&utm_campaign=p_cf+share-flow-1
when it runs out i will be back here begging again
i am going to cancel the mcnninjas.com domain i think, as was only purchased when the site had to be recovered back in 2013, so will save £22 a year
thanks all
Will send some dosh when I get home.
Cheers Komp.
Stuck a few £ in for the upkeep
Done. Thanks Komp 😎👍🏻
thanks everyone, already have enough for couple more years and a bit more :cool:
Done.
thanks for all of the donations
now have £165 which should be enough for 3 years once i cancel the .com domain
:thumbleft:
Dropped a few quid in k :notworthy:
Likewise.
I barely ever visit the site any more but I'd be sad for it to disappear.
thanks everyone. had a few more donations drop through.
i must work out exactly how much i received from gofundme, as they take some and send to my bank in drips and drabs making it hard to keep track of.
Not been on here for ages, but have donated anyway. As others, met a lot of people on this site so would be a shame to see it die.
