As you know a lot of work has gone on lately to get this forum into a better state, as a result we now have a much more responsive, user friendly and much faster site.

This has however come at a cost, we now have hosting bills of over £40 per month and have had to upgrade the software. between the 4 remaining admins (Me, Craig, Tom and now Ant) we will ensure that it never goes down and the bills are paid however many of you have offered to chip in on numerous occasions, usually when its been running like a pissed Heather MIlls.

Now that its like a whippet on speed will you be so generous? Any amount will be gratefully received and all monies raised will go on the running of this place, we've agreed that Toms penchant for hookers in custard will no longer be subsidised by toontastic, those days are long gone.

Anyone donating a tenner or more will be added to an Investors group, with a new badge to show that you are along with a toontastic.net email address. Just PM one of us if you'd rather not promote the fact you're flush.

Please note however, a donation does not make you immune from any moderation required, likewise you'll be treat no differently if you dont donate, you will simply have it imprinted on your conscience that my child shall go hungry once in a while ;)

There is a donate button on the main page, please think of the children :(


Thank You

I was going to give my last few quid to the local children's home.

Well I guess there'll be no Christmas again this year. :(

Done. Big, unwieldy and smells a bit odd, Peasepud and the NHS have much in common-and we must keep both free at the point of access.  

Good work again on the upgrade, ladies.
