Good news: We continue to be self-supporting through our own voluntary contributions (Tradition 7). Funds have been donated by grateful members to cover our bills for web hosting, domain name renewal, and our forums.
The following donations were made to support our GoDaddy bill (sorry about the formatting):
Date Gross Net (less PayPal fee) 4/28/2021 $12.12 $11.47 4/29/2021 $15.00 $14.26 4/29/2021 $10.00 $9.41 5/5/2021 $45.00 $43.39 5/6/2021 $100.00 $100.00 * (Donor covered the PayPal fee)
Total Net $178.53
In addition to the Sparklit donations reported earlier, a new donation of $30 was made on 5/4, giving us an additional 6 weeks of forum support.
Our GoDaddy bill for the coming year is $187.87. If we receive donations above that amount, the excess will be used for our Sparklit account. You can still make donations via PayPal to lightning711@yahoo.com or directly to Sparklit at Sparklit ActiveBoard Donations .

"Please use PayPal to send donations of any amount to lightning711@yahoo.com " - I sent a PayPal donation using the email address, and a guy with that email address sent me an email (copied below) wondering why I sent him $25 - is that the correct email address for PayPal donations?
Not sure why you sent me money Inbox

I received a $25 payment to my PayPal account associated to this email address and I don't know why. Before I went ahead and reversed this, I wanted to be sure that you didn't owe me $25 for something. Was there a reason you sent me $25?
