Jackster Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Hi Guys, I have been away and just logged in for the first time in a while today. I noticed a box asking for donations to help run the forum on the right hand side of my screen, but can find no chat about it on the site, is it legit? Am happy to make a donation. Cheers Kev 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators James H Posted October 3, 2020 Administrators Share Posted October 3, 2020 It's legit. At the moment, I am supporting the costs of LSM, solely, so anything to help contribute will certainly be welcome for our running costs. Many thanks to those that have helped so far. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GusMac Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Thanks for clarifying that James. Happy to contribute on that basis and sincere thanks for supporting the costs to date. This place is an oasis of friendship and sanity, especially at the moment! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FME erk Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Is it a secret as to how much it cost to run this site ? I have already donated hoping it will go some way towards the running cost. I think its an excellent site and sincerely hope many will contribute in the hope that it will ease the burden of cost for you James . . . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its an excellent site and sincerely hope many will contribute in the hope that it will ease the burden of cost for you James . . . We run on a dedicated server which uses SSD drives, plus we have software/renewal, theme and theme renewal costs, domains with privacy additions (GDPR put the price up for us with our domain host). Our little chunk of this with hosting comes out to around $300/yr. Since 2013, I've been pretty much paying the costs myself with the exception of HobbyZone who made a one-off donation to help out. Many thanks to those who have contributed. Everybody is free to use LSM without any donation, but many thanks to those that have so far. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill_S Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Glad to see your goal has been met, James. I made a small donation as soon as I saw it on the home page; this site is well worth the money I contributed. Keep up the great work! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted October 16, 2020 Administrators Share Posted October 16, 2020 Guys, I'm looking into adding a few features, one of which should make Harv incredibly happy. MORE LIKES! Harv has run us completely out of Likes on several occasions, so we will be increasing the Like Tank from 22,500 per day to over 450,000! And more emojis or emoticons, or whatever they call them, along with different "Like" options. No biggie, but little things like that go a long ways to making it "fun" for others. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wumm Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 More likes are good... It seems that everyone I meet these days has run out of (cough) other nouns to give, so an appropriate substitute is always welcome. S 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any guesses to who used them all? Leaving one single lonely little Like is rude. Almost like leaving one half a spoonful of ice cream on the bottom of the gallon pail. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh... and can we have the middle finger salute and pile o' poop emoji, please. Sometimes the heart, trophy, confused, and sad emojis just don;t get it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes the heart, trophy, confused, and sad emojis just don;t get it. I second the middle finger salute and pile o' poop emoji. That's a serious boost in morale and will surely make me like more things....surely. . 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
