CLL Forum

It's time to start the begging!
Each year we have to pay for hosting, registration of the domain, and some add-ons like automated backups and site security. We got an introductory rate at first, which was about one quarter of the normal rate. Sadly, those days are coming to an end!
Hosting: $230/year
Domain registration: $21.03/year
CodeGuard backups: $47.97/year
Domain Privacy and Protection: $15.03/year
Having found myself unable to get the latest three upgrades installed I paid $65.27 today to a very clever person who has repaired all the damage and upgraded us to the latest version of phpBB.
I have just paid for all these.

So we need to pay $379.30 USD this year, which is about a dollar a day for this place to be here and available (if you like, that's a day and a half of zanubrutinib, or ¾ of a day of venetoclax). I assume this will go up in future, but I hope no faster than inflation generally. If you wish to contribute, please use Paypal, and my address there is chris@drmoss.ca (if you use 'friends and family' Paypal does not take a cut).
I shall thank all contributors in this thread, but I won't put amounts in to avoid embarrassing both the stingy and the generous.

Thank you sooo much, Chris. I'm sure those of us who have never run a site like this underestimate how much time it takes.

Really appreciate you!

Sending funds to help us stay afloat in an hour or two.

Best,
Anne

Thank you, Anne, for your generosity!

And thanks to Vicky as well.

Chris, is there any way to send a check? I don't have a PayPal account.

If there isn't a way, I'll figure something out...

Same issue as for others. I'm in Canada, and it isn't easy to deposit a cheque in USD. Opening a Paypal account is easy, costs nothing, and does not cause spam. But if you cannot, PM me for the mailing address, and I'll spend some hours in the bank arguing.

Chris, turns out that my wife has a PayPal account, so will send some bucks north in that way.

Last time, when dear Jen was still with us, I sent her a check, and she forwarded the amount to you.

So this will be more straightforward. As always, thank you for your work.

And thank you to Kathryn.

Since I don't usually know member's real names, I'm thanking people by the name used for Paypal. If you want me to change to usernames, PM me with your username if you recognise yourself in the posts above.

We are doing well, more than halfway there for this year!

Chris

William - thank you too!

I am amazed so few people have chosen to support our forum.

Please let me know how fundraising is going. I was hoping to see that the forum would have been fully funded a couple weeks ago.
