Due to unforeseen circumstances I am currently in between jobs and at the moment have no steady source of income. Over the last several years I have been the primary supporter of SW-Fans, paying most and often all of the fees associated with the site’s operation. The Hosted Forum and Supporter Account programs have helped in easing the financial burden but do not cover everything.
As such, I am coming forward now to request that the members assist in keeping SW-Fans afloat while I acquire a steady job and the regular income that goes along with it. Please donate whatever you can to the paypal account that is used only for SW-Fans. The link to it can be found in the sidebar and in your user control panel. Any individual donations that are 10$ or more will come with the regular one year access to Supporter Account features.
Questions and suggestions are welcome.
Thanks!

I'm unfortunately keenly aware of that sort of plight, but I have a lot of money saved up, I'll throw some your way tomorrow.

Sent some! :)
My suggestion I guess, is keep us updated how far we are from the goal etc as this progresses.

^ Yes please.
I get paid next week and will be tossing a bit your way. Good luck on the job search, I know how much of a pain in the ass that can be. >_<

Thanks to those who have helped so far and plan to help!
As of now we have enough funds to cover nearly three months of site expenses, but do not let that fact, cause those planning to assist in the near future, curb your enthusiasm. 3 months goes by quickly. I've been paying for most of the expenses for just about 9 years. :D

here's a plan... we need to tank the US dollar to the point where 1 GBP and 2 CDN equal about 100 USD.
Then all will be well. :p
We'll let it even out again after of course.

^ I'd be happy with 1 GBP = 2 USD again!
edit: bump this
How is the collection going, Ogre?

A great big thanks to all!
And in other related news; I have been working a temp job for the last two weeks and just last night was offered a permanent position with another company, which I am going to take! I am once again gainfully employed but also am now dealing with the new job excitement/fear of the unfamiliar.

Congrats on the new job! I'm sure you'll do fine. Big Green fears no job! :p

Just curious. How much does it cost for a month of running the site?
