It's been almost a month since the Christian Gamers Alliance web site and forums moved from Go Daddy to a dedicated server hosted by Abba Communications. hescominsoon's bumps and bruises have healed nicely, the forums are running at top speed, and the CGA TeamSpeak server has 100 slots ready for community members to chat it up.
Of course, with the shiny new server comes a heftier bill. We were paying Go Daddy $9.99 USD a month. One year of dedicated server hosting will cost us approximately $425 USD a year, or about $35 USD a month. That's an increase of $25 USD a month.
This may sound like a scary number, but at last count, we have about 460 active forum users. ("Active" meaning that a user has logged in in the last 90 days.) We don't need a lot from a little. We need a little from a lot. Here are some numbers to consider:
If 10% of all active forum users donated $5 USD a month for a year, donations would total $2,760 USD before Paypal fees and about $2,511.60 USD after.
Now you all know that I'm not going to "rattle the tin cup" or tell you that God will multiply your donation back to you so you can buy a new SUV. But if you believe in the vision of the Christian Gamers Alliance, can pay your taxes and bills and live comfortably, and are already giving financially to your local church, then please prayerfully consider donating to help us "keep the lights on" and keep our server running.
