Donations, my personal view

[1959nikos]

I was thinking a long time now of opening a thread like this.
In fact I repeatedly asked Bryan and Paul if I should and their reply was always that I didnt have to, but Im doing it anyway.

Ill get straight to the point.
SR4L needs every month about 50 euros for expenses, that is cost of rent for servers and site.
Donations went good most of the time, but lately they are lacking.
That means that the cost must come out of Bryan and Paul's pockets.

This means that Bryan and Paul are literally paying for our fun here.
I object to this, I believe that admins are offering their personal work to have this site running, I think thats more than enough they should contribute, this place should sustain itself financially.

We are more than 15 people regulars here for almost three years running, I beleive we have all decided that this is our place, so we have to support it.
If you take it down to numbers, if we all regularly paid 3 euros per month, SR4L would have no financial problem whatsoever.
Think of it guys, its just the price for a couple of Cokes per month, and that covers our hobby's expenses.

I think contributing regularly such a small amount will do better good than having one or two guys donating big sums, I feel that this situation is not fair to these donators and I again feel somebody else is paying for my fun and I dont like this at all.

Please dont take the above the wrong way gents, yes its not polite to talk about somebody else's pocket, but I think what I am proposing is not a big burden to all us here.
