PLEDGE DRIVE 2013

it's about that time again, folks. perhaps you're wondering why this isn't an annual thing or whatever. the reason for that is we only do this as needed. and, well, the coffers are a little dry.

so, we're going to keep this nice and simple: our goal is to raise $500. what does that get you? well, 2 years of hosting fees runs about $450 or so. plus, it doesn't hurt to have a little extra in the account should any extra expenses arise*.

* should there be a thought to spend the money on anything non-essential, the idea will be brought to the floor. for example, there was some thought of donating a small amount to b-r.com. a goodish amount of citizens felt this was unnecessary, so we shelved it and moved on.

so, should we hit our goal, we won't have to bother you for 2 whole years!!!!11 below, you'll see a drop-down menu where you can select your preferred donation level (all donations will be kept private), then press the 1 WGOM icon, and you'll be whisked away to paypal. will 100% of your donation go to the WGOM? no. paypal will lop a small piece off the top (i forget what the exact amount is so i'm going to have to update that in the near future (i assure you, this whole thing was done in an appropriately half-baked fashion) i looks like it's 2.9% + $0.30).

i don't think i need to say much about this little corner of the internet. you all said it best yourselves (as we will all soon see, and perhaps you might see some other new things as well, who knows?). so, let's all get this done with so we can go back to watching the twins vikings lynx wolves and wild!
