IMPORTANT: Please include your forum username in your PayPal donation or any donation made.

It's that time of year when we need to pay for web hosting and forum software licence renewals. The forum will cost us approx £640 this year to run, we rely on donations to keep us running. Otherwise, I'll have to send Pip out to deliver parcels.... she's too old for that!

Any donations - no matter how small - are greatly appreciated as it all helps cover the cost and it all adds up. We rely on the generosity of our community to keep us running so donations are vital to enable us to exist.

Donations can either be made by PayPal to myself details available via pm to me, by bank transfer, or by cheque made payable to myself, again pm me for address details etc. Please note, there is a PayPal account purely for the forum, so please disregard any previous PayPal addresses you may have. I need to make this clear once again, this is a donation to help run the forum, you are not paying for a service the service of course is free to anyone to use, but without donations, we would find it very difficult to run due to the high cost involved.

You must be over 18 to make a donation this is not negotiable

In return you get a nice colourful banner underneath your name saying 'Forum Donator 2023/24 and the right to add a signature to your profile. Not to mention a nice warm glow inside for helping keep the forum running! 😉

Last year, donations paid for our hosting, software licence renewals, theme updates (some of you are using our brand new dark theme 👍 ) and email services, domain name, email services. (Not to mention the champagne used for filling the staff room jacuzzi! 🤣 )

In the face of competition from facebook we are still holding our own and keeping our community and repository of information on guinea pigs alive and up to date making us one of the most successful active Guinea Pig Online Communities across the globe.

I will provide a full breakdown of donations received with data anonymised and how the money is spent to anyone that requests it.

Once our target is reached, I will close and lock this topic.

Thank you once again for being part of this community and making it the place it is. On behalf of the admin team, mod team, and myself, we would like to thank you for making the forum a supportive and kind place to be, you are all awesome and I am extremely humbled to belong to such a great community.

Thanks Tom (BossHogg)

(Please bear with me if I take a while getting back to you, I am an operational front line motorway traffic officer and I may be busy at work - or sleeping between nights! 😉 )

I would like to donate. (i missed it last year.)
 
Certainly, pop me a quick pm and I'll send you details, PayPal or bank transfer?
 
@BossHogg so sorry if I’m missing something here - I can’t see how to send a private message! I’d love to make a donation, the kind people on this forum have helped me endlessly these last few weeks.

I’m unsure why but this doesn’t show up (for you or anyone else’s username I click on lol). If you can pm me first or if I can even give you my email I’d be grateful, so I can send something on PayPal x

I think it's because nowadays you have to have posted 50 messages in order to be able to initiate a PM conversation.

You learn something every day! I didn't know that, it's so much easier. I always go to the envelope and type in the name, which takes a few goes as I spell it wrong or get caps and lower case confused!

Lovely to see the Forum changing colour again, so much support for this special place.
 
I'm off to bed, up in 4 and a half hours for work, I'll sort any donations after 6am once I'm in work. 👍
