So many Lammaites have been selling & buying stuff and finding & letting flats via these free classifieds over the years, it would be nice to make them community-supported.
This forum are totally advertising-free and I'd prefer to keep it this way. I've been paying all the running costs myself, mainly the yearly webhosting of
HK$1,440, but also various other smaller expenses. This forum is the most labour-intensive and by far the most troublesome part of this entire website (spam attacks, registrations, hosting problems, backups, maintenance, etc.), but it generates absolutely no revenue for me.
We'll have to find a much cheaper flat very soon, another major rent increase coming up, any leads most appreciated! So I can't really continue to pay all these forum costs out of my own pocket. The shrinking amount of advertising revenue from the (barely) self-supporting Lamma-zine can't subsidise this forum forever.
The yearly webhosting bill is due end of this month. Could we raise this small amount of $1,440 via donations from people who have sold things and found tenants via this forum, or from the many Lammaites who found a bargain here or just think that these all-free classifieds are a useful community service and should survive a while longer?
If you don't donate, nobody else will either. It's simplistic to think that somebody else will donate, but it doesn't work that way. Donations are extremely rare and precious; there have only been a tiny few this entire year so far.
All donations will be used only for the webhosting bill. If more is raised (pretty unlikely!), it'll be used for other occasional, upcoming forum support bills.
