She is actually a super good baby. :iono: no screaming, fussing etc. she only is cranky if she’s hungry or tired, so like any other adult human
I pulled a good draw as well. Unlike our man in Philly.

Updates - Chris and Troy have been updated to admins - hit up one of them, me, or Alan if you ever get locked out or anything like that, we will try to resolve ASAP. Chris said his IP address has occasionally been blocked, not sure if that's a thing for others or not, but if so.

Total costs appear to be $11/month for DreamHost and $12/year through Google Hosting - $144/year

To tally up folks that have confirmed they are willing to contribute:

Is this comprehensive? Final call for helping out/not helping out. As of now, this comes down to $16. If you'd like to pay less that is fine too, I am honestly indifferent to paying and OK with plopping down $144/year to keep things going, but assistance would be nice.

He didn't quit the forum... he and [user not found] just decided to take a step back from backing the place financially/running it... long story but they are both still around shitposting, which is good. We are trying to keep as many members here as we can and keep the place alive!

I disabled the Spamhaus IP filtering a while back after tracing down exactly what was causing the issue. Spam account registration skyrocketed, but it was important to keep existing members unblocked and able to post.

Nobody should have any IP issues moving forward.
We'll need to keep an eye on spam account creation and activity? Or are other measures in place?

I can throw some dollhairs in. I don't have Venmo, though. I can do Paypal in case USPS mistakes the check for an election ballot.

All registrations require approval - I have a question required at registration; "What do you drive?"

Spambots can't seem to figure out that putting any vehicle in there would get them approved.

Otherwise, I'd just leave them in the approval queue and mass delete them once or twice a week, or whenever I had time.

There's also captcha enabled at sign-in and registration to help deter bots as well.

Thanks, sir! It should be linked to dlloydgriffin@gmail.com

So far I have received $60, $20 each from :225: , :sawce: , and Detroit. Should it wind up going over the $144, I will apply it towards next year's/keep track of it to lower future costs.

I looked up Venmo and it's not a Canada thing. There is an option for PayPal and I have an account which I can bring from the dead.
We use e-transfer right from our online banking interface and it's very common place. Is that a thing over the border?

My bad, you seemed pro “co-op” as I interpreted it. No pressure either way.

FWIW I will make an XL and post it in the interest of transparency. I’m not a real Excel jockey so don’t expect anything :fancy:
