Title: Donations to support Curefans.com
Post by: admin on September 06, 2009, 12:56:41
Dear members,

Curefans.com is now accepting donations from members to help support the site.

Since its inception in 2005, curefans.com has been entirely self-supporting, and this is partly due to the overly aggressive nature that another related site has used to seek funding. We did not want to be associated with these practices, but as our costs for hosting and providing additional services continue to rise (€216/year as of 2019), we decided that it would be OK to ask for contributions so long as it is done in an appropriate manner. Up until 2010 the costs associated with curefans.com were supported only by the forum's two administrators. Nowadays the costs are covered only by one person.

Please note that donations are not required to be a member, but for those who can help it will be extremely appreciated. This will also help to improve the site in the future. Members who contribute will earn automatically the honorary title of Curefan Elite Member.

This year, please consider making a donation of €5, €20, €50 or whatever you can to sustain this site. You may donate in the following way:

Paypal
info@curefans.com (info@curefans.com)

If you would like to use another payment method, please contact us to info@curefans.com

Thank you!

The Curefans Staff

Is this forum flush at the moment? I've not seen this thread come up for a while. Do we need to make some donations?  I really enjoy being on a forum that's not plastered with advertising! :)

OMG! And the last time I saw the hat come around was nearly two years ago! Have you been eating lentils to keep this going?

We'll chip in again next time we do the banking!  :smth023
