Dave Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 (OP updated 08.06.24) Hello all, If you had a PayPal regular donation set up we will no longer be taking any money for it due to a change in banking set up. Should you have had one then please set up a new version via https://ko-fi.com/newcastleonline. It’s the same process as per PayPal and will take a min or two max. For those who don’t donate or just hoy some cash in every now and then, you can also make a one off payment via Ko-Fi. Obviously all donations are welcome but we’d prefer no one to spending more than a coffee or a pint a month to help keep us going. For clarity your donation primarily covers hosting and server costs (and potential price increases) as well as allowing us to have mega threads and video/gif galore without slowdown, traffic capacity for busy match days and of course Beren’s trainer collection. Arguably as important being member funded means we can stay advert free which is good as it looks shit. Any donations are welcome of course but please do not feel like it is mandatory. N-O will remain a free to access site unless your patter is poor. Cheers! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbnufc Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Added a little (very little, all I had in my rarely used paypal account). I feel this could/should have been open all along. I'm sure people would be willing to help Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure people would be willing to help The donations address for PayPal has always been active, I just haven't needed to push it for a few years now. As mentioned, we've been leaning on a number of regulars but it's only fair to give them a break. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRD Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I remember this being one of the April's Fool jokes, to the extent that the website was shut down for a few hours and sent a few peeps into meltdown. Too early for a similar stunt obv. Will see what little I can do later when I have more time in the day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 That seems a bit pricey - dedicated server? Yeah, we've had one for years now. During matches the load gets pretty high, one of our previous hosters (when we had a lower spec) actually registered on here to try and diagnose why it kept going down at weekends. IIRC he said how we use it is ridiculous and completely unsuited to this forum software etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if running 24 hr may make it more expensive. What sort of resources you got on server ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Bump this thread on 1st of Feb please Dave and I would be happy to donate. As an alternative have you considered asking for standing orders. I for one would be happy to pay £2 a month, find another 40 like me, then that is your monthly costs sorted at a more sustainable rate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firetotheworks Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I'll put in £30 at the weekend. I'd happily pay a few quid a month as well if that's something that all of us can do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
