Forum Funding - Statement of account UPDATED 04/11/2021

[worldofceri]

Unbelievable.

[Slartibartfast]

As much as I always wanted to remind neutral in the recentish situation it has to be said that a certain banned person could be proven to have been going down the right lines all along.

 

Shame he went about it in a twatish way.

Just to be clear, the person in question was not banned for remarks he made about the previous board admin.

[AlabamaShrimp]

Honestly I didn't think he was banned for the whole Dave thing I thought it was because he was just being a twat in general but then didn't someone say he'd been making stupid legal threats or something.

 

Either way it's noting to do with me and I don't care that he's gone. I appreciate any work that gets done to keep this place running.

I was never for or against Dave. That said, the comment above I was referring to was about money paid to him that seems to have disappeared into the either also we don't have any of the problems* we had before with the site.

[Guest Hooli]

More importantly, do we have enough funds for a forum Horsey Horseless yet?

[chaseracer]

There's NEVER enough funds for a Horsey Horseless...

[andy18s]

HH ?

[KruJoe]

Stanky, please can we have donations open again please?
There are a few folks I've asked to donate instead of pay me for parts they're having off me, it hasn't been possible to do it, and I don't want it to be forgotten about. Also, what folks above said.

Thankyouplease!

[Stanky]

I wanted to update everyone on the state of the forum finances.

 

Last months FundRazr hit the target of £110.00, thanks to all who donated, 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 £11.00.

 

Combined, the costs were £94.00

 

The current balance in the account is therefore +£329.31 thanks to earning an entire penny of interest this month.

 

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 £110 to cover Fundrazr fees, hosting and backups. No software costs until the tail end of the year are foreseen.

Thanks to all who donated, it is very much appreciated.

[KruJoe]

Thank you Stanky.

Is it possible to keep it open collecting funds after the target is reached?

Only nine members have seen it and donated, and it's nearly there already, inside 24 hours. If it's closed, then I imagine there'll be loads of folk who'll miss out on the chance to contribute.

[loserone]

I just get an error that 'we can't process your payment at this time' - and it's been doing the same thing all day.

[Stanky]

Loserone - curious, how are you trying to donate, card or paypal? Happy to take it to PM if easier.

 

KruJoe, PM incoming.

[loserone]

PP, figure it might be because I don't have a card on my PP account - but last month it said as such.

 

Happy to donate direct to a PP address?

[Stanky]

Very strange - it looks to be set up right. Has anyone else tried to donate with paypal funds (rather than a PP linked card) and had the same error?

[dollywobbler]

Just done a Paypal funds payment, no problem. At last. I've managed to pay!

[M'coli]

For the past 15 minutes or so I've tried to make a Paypal contribution to the Fundrazr page, but it won't let me. I can get into my Paypal account, so it's not my password.

 

Any Ideas?

[Alan_Green]

(Paypal linked to a debit card.)  

[loserone]

Yup, ^ that's what I get.

[spike60]

I get slightly different screen but same result. Paypal backed by current account.

Code FR-1001, payment has been cancelled.

[Stanky]

Thanks guys - will follow up with FundRazr support today.

[Stanky]

Raised with FR support, I'll keep you posted. Thanks for letting me know.

[They_all_do_that_sir]

I don't get paid for another few days, suits me for it to remain open till the end of month before the kids eat all the cash!

Thanks for your patience all, it turns out Paypal have frozen my wife's account due to the 'suspicious activity' (which they didn't bother about the last 2 months). We've spoken to their support team and things should be straightened out in the next 24 hours.

 

I'll let you know if this is delayed further, for now I'll pause the FundRazr campaign. I'd have thought FundRazr would 'tag' the payments to make clear to PayPal what was going on but it seems I'm wide of the mark as always!

 

***EDIT*** ***has minor aneurysm***

 

Right, its working again now. AHEM. As you were.

[flat4alfa]

Just tried and PP went through.

Thank you to everyone who chipped in! Well over target in very short order.

Long live Autoshite!

[stripped fred]

Excellent result although I've missed the boat. Will pay next month.

[JohnDeere]

Missed this the last couple of months, will look out for the next round.

[Stanky]

I wanted to update everyone on the state of the forum finances. After feedback I've moved this to recur on the last day of the month as people tend to have been paid then.

 

Last months FundRazr overshot the target of £110.00 and we hit £140.00, thanks to all who donated, 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 £14.00.

 

Additionally, the moderation team made a contribution of £50.00 to St Elizabeth Hospice in memory of OldFord John on behalf of the forum

 

Combined, the costs were £144.00

 

The current balance in the account is therefore +£322.31
