if you were to divide up the cost to run by the number of active members what would our individual costs be?

I'd be happy to donate £10 or so right away as am now a very active member. Also, being an anti-theist AND atheist, I feel it would be a BIG shame if this place were to close down. That's my 2c.

Theres already been a cattle call for donors. Anyone who can donate that hasn't...should.

Lets say it was ten bucks a year, Drich. Hit the button.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Things fall apart, the widening gyre and all that.

I was part of a board where a group of admins jacked the code and name, moved it to a new server, locked out the owner and most members, and had a nice circle jerk.  Bound themselves in a nutshell, so to speak, until the owner's attorney at wife came cracking.

I'm happy to kick in.  And buy the next round!  Soon as I get that check from the gubment.

I'm gonna do that right now bruvaaaar!
OK, so I tried my absolute best to set up a $1 a month patreon donation, as recommended (the only option) from following the link on the home page of THIS site. I'm stuck on an interminable loading screen before I can even enter my bank details. THAT'S why the patrion income has plummeted I deduce, Tiberius et al. Word.
Also known as "your donate link doesn't work."

I'll let @Tiberius know the link isn't working. He had some other stupid snafu about an old email with Patreon this year too, so don't be surprised if some of your donations got kicked back.

Hi Shell B - there are I think THREE links to donate in the banner - "donating" "becoming a patron" and the big patreon logo at the top - that's the one I clicked. I didn't try the other two 'cos...erm...I'd need to transfer funds into my paypal I read and it's empty ATM - basically not straight forward.
Also if the forum got more antitheist it would galvanise the troops and viewers as blood curdling battlecries etc and then I'm sure the donations would start flooding in YES!
