Stanky Posted January 1, 2018 Author Share Posted January 1, 2018 Monthly update on forum finances. Last months FundRazr overshot the £100 target and we reached £115.00, thanks to all who donated - It seemed that the PayPal bug wasn't as prevalent this month, or people stopped bothering to let me know... Anyway - it is very much appreciated. Costs this month have been a total of £83.00 for the hosting and backups. Fundrazr admin costs and paypal processing fees were a further £11.50 Combined, the costs were £94.50 The current balance in the account is therefore +£371.72 As before, we'll keep this as a reserve in case of unexpected costs, and open a new Fundrazr campaign to cover the costs for the next month. The target will be £90.00 to cover Fundrazr fees, hosting and backups. As we're increasing the money in the coffers each month I'm going to reduce the funding targets to use up some of the surplus. The link to the new FundRazr page can be found HERE Again, all donations are very much appreciated. Please let me know if the PayPal issue resurfaces, I hope we're past that now.

Skizzer Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 I had the same issue with PayPal, though I can't guarantee it wasn't because I put the password in wrongly. Card worked though, so apparently I have had Social Impact. Well, that's a first. Is FundRazr helpful? Seems a bit half-arsed to me. Up to you though. Whatever, thanks again for keeping the old ship afloat so well after it was very nearly scuppered with all hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saabnut Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Only fair that I contribute this month as I sold the Picarso via the site, so split the net profit with the site! Don't get excited, I only made a tenner after all costs were factored in PayPal worked fine egg, The Moog, BorniteIdentity and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beko1987 Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Is there enough in the kitty for a bunch of flowers for Hendrys funeral or owt? Do we know someone who would tell us where/when it is? Or a floral display in the shape of a Ford escort, with brown flowers for the rear arches... strangeangel, CGSB, DeeJay and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie Honda Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Sam, whilst I understand where you are coming from, the kitty was originally established for funding of the hosting cost of this site. Given the past issues over the transparency of what money was going where, I would suggest that any whip-round to other causes outwith the original remit should be separately raised and processed, even if it is under the collective banner of Autoshite. beko1987 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cavcraft Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 FWIW I’d be happy to see some forum funds being used for this. If we can’t agree as a website to make a small gesture like this, it sort of seems wrong. I can’t see it not being transparent as it’s being suggested up front, but again that’s just my view.

crapcarcollector Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 I would expect most people would be more than happy (happy isn’t really the appropriate word in this circumstance is it) to show a bit of respect collectively with a wreath or mental health charity donation. Maybe autoshite should adopt a mental health charity.... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk beko1987, Cavcraft, Tickman and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cavcraft Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 There has been talk of a sort of AS nominated charity before, but cannot remember where we ended up with it. It'd be a nice gesture imho, but obviously up to everyone really and it goes without saying it wouldn't be a 'forced' donation if it did go ahead. crapcarcollector 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tickman Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 I think that it was parked due to the challenge of finding a consensus amongst us all. Personally with the majority of sad gits folk interested in cars being male and the horrific statistics of men between the age of 20 and 40 being most likely to take their own lives and this being a car forum (but much more so) I would be interested if anyone would object to a donation towards any mental health charity. I certainly wouldn't object. If we could collectively support somewhere (personally the Samaritans would get my vote) then I will gladly pledge £10 of my spends in that direction. This is probably not the place but there will hopefully be a place where this is the norm.
