Gasland needs some help! Please read....

I was hoping I would not have to ask for any help this year for paying the bill on the stand alone server that runs Gasland, but money has become tight once again for me, so if anybody would like to help, Gasland and the domain can use a hand at this time.

No, I’m still not going to run a fundraiser for this year, and if I didn’t ask my fellow Gassers for some help, I would still manage to pay the bill on my own and in part with the help of donations from my Weather site, the nice ad revenues I make from my Colorado Cam site, and also ad revenues from the rest of the domain, including Gasland. But things in my life are crazy right now, including money wise, so some help in paying for the server would be appreciated.

Gasland is still the only reason why the domain needs a more expensive unsharred server. Our board takes up most of the resources used compared to what the rest of the domain uses combined, plus Gasx3 sees the most traffic on the domain - along with the Cam site, but the Cam site takes up almost no resources at all, as other than some text on each page there, everything else is hot linked to other places, and yet it’s the main money maker for the domain by a large margin, too. Gasland does bring in ad revenue each month, just nowhere as much as the cam site, and it’s the most expensive site to run on the domain by far. Simply put, message boards are expensive to run, and their maintenance is another added problem, and this is why most web boards are not taken care of by their webmasters, nor are they even on a webmaster’s domain. But Gasland is. For most other boards’, the domain owners get to use them for free on somebody else’s domain, but they also got to play everything by the rules of whoever owns the board. At least we’re free of that here, but again, this joint does cost money to run.

I was hoping to never have to ask for help here again, other than I would still welcome an occasion donation from anybody who would like to lead a hand every so often. But where that happens at least once a month at my Weather site, thanks to the “Donate” button up there, here it only seems to happen when I directly ask for help in a post like this. But every time I have asked for help in the last 5 years or so, you Gassers have come through each time and paid the server bill for the entire year. So thanks for your past help!

So today I’m making this one-time plea for some help in paying this year’s bill. This year I don’t need help with the entire bill, just some of it. This is something I hate having to ask, as this is my domain after all, and up to 5 years ago I always paid the entire bill myself. I’m now in better financial shape than I was in last year, things are getting better, so I’m hoping once again that this is my last plea for some donations. It seems like so many other sites ask for help several times a year these days, yet I hate to ask even once a year. But if you can help out in sending in a donation for any amount you like, that would be greatly appreciated.

Now if your money is also tight like mine is, then please don’t worry about helping. Gasland (and all of keno.org) is still a free site (and domain), even if I have to ask for some help in paying the bill once a year. Being semi-retired hasn’t been as easy on me as it once was. That of course does get in the way of me being able to pay 100% for the Land of Gas, and although I do see better times ahead for incoming revenue (the Cam site is really rocking), a bit of help would be appreciated.

So if you can help out a bit, please go to the board’s donation page and it explains there how to send in a donation for Gasx3. To get to that page, you can always use the link on top of the board that reads “Help Gasland”, or for now, just click on this link: http://www.keno.org/gasland/donate.htm

I thank all of you for reading this!
