Ok you may so you have clicked the DONATE button on the website, and are now wondering what is it for. ?

We are not going to start emailing asking for money every single month. However the site is expanding fast and I have compiled a few little Q & A's that might explain.

Q. Ok, so why is this different from other sites asking for donations?
A. We not after long term monthly subscriptions, we just need some cash for a few things for the site.

Q. Ok, so what is needed?
A. Primarily the money will be spent on a new server and a couple of things for the website

Q. Why a new server it all looks fine to me so leave it alone and you don’t need to spend any money or ask for any.
A. Unfortunately, the server is now running very close to its capacity and soon you will start to get error messages when trying to get on the website.

Q. Why can’t you just make it so we can have more users?
A. I already have extended it and we are now at the limit allowed on this server. A new server will allow us to run different software to support more users than we can shake a stick at

Q. Ok, so I understand that now, how much will this cost
A. Servers can run into hundreds of pounds, fortunately we know a bit about what we are doing and will be building our own. Initial figures are in the region of £300 for the server and then some more for some other things we need.

Q. I can’t donate that much though.
A. That’s ok we are not asking for a single donation of £300 (if we get one we wont say no!). Even a donation from as little as £5 is a help to achieving our target.

Q. Ok so I understand that lot how do I donate??
A. Below there is a button saying DONATE on it - this is a papal account just simply use your existing account or use a debit or credit card.

Q. Can we see a running total?
A. As the donations come in I will post every few weeks our progress.

Hope that answers some questions, if you have any further questions you want answering in private you can email us on admin@oldskoolravers.co.uk
