Abt 400 in total. Was thinking of keeping this forums up for another yr till GE over. Let me know if anyone is ok with contributing.

Else i try to dig funds
Only money is real

Anyone with ideas are free to contribute too. Wanted to just keep it past GE. Hard to sustain given lack of interest and i also nv do enough to push for things

I am just curious about the hosting costs.  Definitely it shouldn't be manpower costs

Is it the website needs money to retain the website?

Or some servers are rented to run this forum?

I am not sure if it's possible to merge this with another forum

Hosting costs is just 1 aspect. Manpower can be free if u are good enough or have time to maintain it.

This is a one time costs for 12 months.

I nv factor into manpower costs for now even tho we worked with a developer previously. Which amounts to few hundreds per mth. The original intention was for this forums to sustain itself

If no one wishes to help im also fine. Will just keep this probably for another year but if we arent getting traffic and there isnt a strong push, then it will definitely have to end someday

Can pay through paypal?....let me know how to contribute

jim889

hopefully chiu can continue rah otherwise no more prace for us to tcss.

also try to  allow anonymous donation rah.

also beware of law and legislation, maybe chiu need to noe where the $$$ cumming from or cannot accept $$$ from certain groups of individuals if moi recall correctly.

anyway taking free $$$ is always risky, maybe try to make it a sale. ppl pay chiu not to donate to the forum but buying sumthing eg buy the cake that chiu have baked but maybe that will make it non anomymous and ppl can get sexposed.

also consider other options , eg instead of PTE LTD , consider registering this as Charity instead.

otherwise move it to somewhere "free".

take care

Read above posts, I agree with donating anonymously or even mask it as a sale

How to donate

I want to buy admin power. But not do the admin job.

bsg

@Nevereatrice ahia. U keep buy iPad maxi mini and then sell loss, so the loss money u can take come donate.
I expect no less than 100 from u. Selled 2 times lose at least 150 liao. U sure can afford

Lai lai come and be 1 of the donor.

Help admin keep this place afloat. Put down yr nick and the amount.

As to how to make it legal transparent later then see how.

https://give.asia/fundraise

How many active users do we hv roughly ?
How much $ we want to share amongst us ? Rough sum to opt 10.? 20? 30?
Eg if 50 users
1/3 will contribute
Means each 26?

How will the $ go from us to u for collation ? Possibly how to anonymise payer ? (Lkk don't know PayPal but hearsay paypal can use )

Say if u open window for 2 weeks to collate , how will we know left how much time & $ to go etc ?

Actually I got another idea but it's from Sgcarmart forum.  It's NOT FUNDRAISING hor but just something that happened there

Why not sell something.  Let's say a e-sticker that says "MONEY MIND"?

Maybe set an account in carousel and then give us the link.  Then we buy the e-sticker from there.  It's legal and you are selling something and we will still remain anonymous
