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 of the fulltime 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

Moved Mr Pud's post in here now i've unpinned the upgrade thread and we're "stable" touch wood


Information!

All donations are welcome and anyone donating will get a @toontastic.net email address of their choice with a reasonable amount of email space (we can amend this if required)
You'll be added to one of the Donator groups with the changed forum badge etc, none of which is obligatory so if you don't want moved into it you can say so

(obviously you can't use someone elses membername for your address, but it can also be your actual name if you like rather than TitsMcGee@toontastic.net)

All the donations go back into running the site, minus what we siphon off to keep Tom's hair in shape
(no it all goes back into running this place)
Larger donations/long standing members will be welcome to some personal webspace/blogs for small sites if they need some, give myself or one of the admin team a shout about it.

After Donating:
You'll get a pm/email through the board or to your registered address with your "welcome to team donation!" info in it.

Sponsors:
We're now in a position that we may undertake the hosting of Newcastle/Football related sites/blogs etcetc if this interests anyone get in touch with one of the admin team for a chat.

And to those who have donated already, thanks very much again
