there, hope you're happy. I just donated
Astral $10, don't care for the recognition either.
IMO, you really should be more up front about costs and expenses in running this site, to build up that thing they call trust. Just aggregate numbers: don't have to display any individual vendors or anything.
Kinda like: site costs: $4000/yr, authorized vendor fees: $x000/yr, ad profits: $x000/yr.

I'm really impressed that a lot of members came through to raise funds for the community. Unfortunately we did not achieve the original goal of a "2006 Donation by 2006". 
I'm not sure if I should continue this challenge but I can tell you the facts about our costs and future needs...
We're currently running the following setup:
For $299 ($320 with daily backup etc) per month we get...
* Dual 2.4GHz (maybe 2.8) Xeon
* 2GB RAM: included
* 1700GB / mo transfer limit: included
* 2 x 73 GB SCSI: included
* DRAC: included
What we need:
More RAM...going from 2 gigs to 4 would help a lot but that means about $400+ month (according to another Host)...Even though costs would go up...This deal is actually better than our current host can offer but that means time & effort in moving to a new server and of course increased monthly costs (at least $80 increase per month). If your talking a serious hosting upgrade including CPU, RAM and HD setup plus relocation costs...Your looking at $500+ a month easy! Times that by 12 and I will be paying $6000 a year to keep you guys happy.
Now understand that these #'s are just for hosting. I'm not including our e-mail server, domain renewls, promotion costs, vBulletin fees, time & effort etc etc etc...
I have no problem with being upfront about costs...Because costs are what concerns this community. Please remember I have to pay to keep this site online...every day, every month and every year. Although donations are encouraged, members are not responsible for funding this site...I am and therefore non-donated funds are to remain private while donations can be represented.
We will have to upgrade soon...That is for certain...The question is...How much money can we raise to ensure this community stays online for a long time AND What is the best hosting deal we can get?
I founded this community over 4 years ago...It's a part of me and my life...I love what I do here...Making this an enjoyable and better place everyday...Trust that.

JESUS CHRIST MAN! This is an expensive hobby! You pay all this money just for s**** and giggles? And the time that it would take to keep up on htis must be enormous... tell me you own your own business and don't have to work for anyone! LOL!
Well for what it is worth, this site has an over-abundance of knowledge and information and has been a personal life saver for me on several occasions.
Thanks for all your work and dedication.

Yes they do and that plays a major role in funding this site because if it didn't we could NEVER survive on donations alone...That brings up another point...Donations help keep vendor fees reasonable by relieving pressure on them to fund the site.
The more Authorized Vendors (AV's) and Approved Merchant Members (AMM's) we have the better it is in terms of aftermarket support and for the communitys stability.
One day this community may grow to a point that professional support would be required in the background to keep everything on track. Even with a lot of support from Moderators and my fellow AdminsI find myself effectively having to manage the site as a whole on a daily basis despite having a full time job. Although it takes a tremendous amount of time...I truly enjoy what I do!

Please remember that every member has a very generous 10,000 PM limit and 100MB of space to use as they please (provided it isnt porn or illegal) all for FREE! We could limit this to cut down on server load but that would be taking away from what makes this place feel like homeand not an overly limited collection of forums.
Whether you donate or not makes no difference to your membership on Mazda Forums and thats the way it should beFor those that do donate...Know that your support is greatly appreciated and will help ensure the our future.
