  the recent server problems brought up a couple of points, mainly the fact that arron pays for the upkeep of the site mostly or wholly on his own. so i was curious to know whether people would be willing to donate a little cash to the site to fund the future smooth running. or perhaps you want something little in return like 1/64 and 1/1 scale ausmicro bumper stickers or something like that. i’m sure most of us are willing to cough up a few bucks for nothing though as we’re already getting a free service. so get votin’, poll’s close in 40 days from today:8ball:

  well i’m doing this poll to see how many people would be up for it. if 20 people chip in $2 each, that’s $40, probably enough to at lest pay for the domain name for a year:8ball:

  *blushes* Thanks guys 😉
  
  Random donations are always welcome via PayPal (Pay shop@ausmicro.com) however for Aussie based people this is not really an efficient way unless you have the cash ‘spare’ in Paypal.
  
  The Cafe Press links that appear around the site do make money if you buy things, and with the AU$ getting stronger you can now buy more than ever for less $$…
  
  I’m not going to let the site ‘go’ under at any time and won’t hold that over people to encourage donations.
  
  If even 1% or 2% of the population donated about US$10 per year we’d pretty much have all our costs covered… And be able to look at upgrades etc… But it’s a ‘fair’ amount of money for people to pay out and I’m sure people would like to be sure they’re getting their $$ worth 😉

  Jamie, just don’t get in the front of the Kidney selling queue before me… How do you think I pay for the car?
  
  Seriously though – Thanks for the words of support everyone. You’ll be happy to know that ‘behind the scenes’ we’re looking at things we can do to make donators feel special….
  
  Just remember at NO STAGE will ausmicro.com force you to pay money – or ever set a limit on useage, we may however offer extra services to people who do make contributions.
