As I hope you've all noticed, up top, Stormy had posted about the straits the Grove is currently in. We need cash, somewhat quickly. Normally extra costs above and beyond what folks donate are provided for by Sobe and other members of the staff, but this year we need community help.

I'm posting again, specifically in this forum, because many of us here have been here at the Grove since it was part of EQDruids so many years ago, and most of us were big contributors to the community (in a myriad of ways, from pertinant Druid issue discussion, to financial donations, to volunteering mod time).

As I recall from the last usage report, Off Topic forums are the busiest forums on the entire Grove network. We use a significant amount of bandwidth ourselves, with our rambling heated, but oh so entertaining and well informed discussions. For many of those still here, the OT forum is the sole reason we visit the Grove anymore, as we've long since stopped playing EQ, or any other MMOs.

So pony up, you assgoblins. I hold the regs here to a higher standard. Drop some loot in the till so I don't have to go argue politics with the dunderheaded morons who comprise most other boards.

How much will it cost just to keep the OT board up and running? <img src=http://lag9.com/biggrin.gif>

OT here is the major user of resources? And yet there are how many other forums?

I've no issue for donating to keep a site i visit everyday going, so donation inc.

I donated, but didn't click the "return to merchant" button (not sure if I even got one on the Paypal screen), so no little title for me. Ah, well..

OT here is the major user of resources? And yet there are how many other forums?

What I meant by that was we use more resources than any other forum.
