Just an FYI, as we approach the 'giving' season:

FoRPoL's account is shrinking, as server costs have outpaced donations to the account this year.

FoRPoL's current reserves, as well as the latest donations & payments are listed here:

Thank everyone who has donated - all of us who spend many entertaining roleplaying hours here appreciate everything you've given to make that happen.

For those who can afford it, donations are appreciated, and can be sent via Paypal to donations@rpol.net or paste this secure link into your browser bar to donate directly to Friends of RPoL:

Thanks to everyone who donated after the above message!

The FoRPoL board has been updated to include donations received through 12/1/08.   We, the users, appreciate every donation given -- and all donations received go toward server costs.

Thanks again!

For those of you that don't know, RPoL's server costs are paid by donations from RPoL users -- so you have each other to thank for a good portion of all the fun you have here (assuming, of course, that you do have fun.  If you don't and you're still here, then I suggest therapy unless you're a masochist, in which case you're having fun so we're back to the original assumption).

The status of the FoRPoL account is posted here:

It is updated whenever I have time & feel like it -- but generally at least once a quarter.

That being said, donations are always welcome, so if you want to help ensure that RPoL is around for many years to come, you can paste the handy link below into your browser, or send paypal donations to donations@rpol.net.

The cost of the server is $104.00 per month. Donations to help with that cost (and to build up the FoRPoL account, which is only used to pay for direct costs of hosting the site) are welcome.

Donations can be made via Paypal, with donations going to donations@rpol.net

Just a reminder that donations help to maintain our 'cushion' so that we don't have to scramble at the last minute to pay the monthly hosting.

Donations can be made via Paypal, with donations going to donations@rpol.net.

If you enjoy the site, and find yourselves with a little extra $$, please consider it.  All donations to FoRPoL are used to pay for server costs.

The FoRPoL Account is up to date with donations received (and payments made) as of today.

Check the above thread if you're interested in the current state of FoRPoL's finances.


Thanks to all those who donated, and if you'd like to help support the site AND have some extra $$, donations can be made via paypal - donations@rpol.net.

Please remember that all donations to FoRPoL go directly to the cost of operating the site.

A reminder:

RPoL's server is paid for completely by donations from the users -- $104.00 per month.

If, and only if, you have a bit of cash your budget won't miss _{too much}, please consider donating it toward the funding of the site.  I'm definitely prejudiced, but I believe RPoL offers more than any other similar site in features, active and creative user base, and a responsive site admin.

Donations can be made via Paypal to donations@rpol.net.

If you'd like to donate via check, you can rmail me for details.

Thanks!

Thanks to everyone who has donated. :)

The FoRPoL (Friends of RPoL) Donations Account has been updated today.  If you are interested in seeing the reserve funds that are used for paying for RPoL's server, as well as those who have contributed, I invite you to follow the link in the above post.

Loads of thanks to everyone who has donated. :)

The donations account posting has been updated to reflect donations & server payments made through December 2, 2012.

Thanks to those who donated, and a reminder to all that donations are welcome and are used to pay for the server that hosts RPoL.

Just a reminder that RPoL's server costs are $104.00 per month, and are paid for by user donations.

If, and only if, you can afford it AND you want to pitch in to help keep the site going because you love it here (or at least like it a lot!), donations can be made via Paypal to donations@rpol.net

Any way to donate outside of PayPal?  I do not have a PayPal account.

I'm in the same boat, and I think a lot of others are as well... especially minors who may only have $5 to give but would be willing to give it every month, I know that I would have back then...

You do not need a paypal account in order to donate thru paypal.  However, that is currently the only way available.

Just posting another reminder that RPoL's server costs are paid for by user donations.  :)

If you enjoy the site and would like to contribute to keep it going, donations can be made thru paypal -- donations@rpol.net .

Please only consider donating if you can afford it.

You can see the current funds available as well as those who have donated here:

Okay, Paypal gives me two options when sending money:
1/ I'm paying for goods and services
2/ I'm sending money to family or friends

Which should I choose? RPoL is a "service" I guess, but I've gamed here so long, I've met some great friends.

I'd say that it's up to you. :)
