we should be set for a bit, sorry that took longer than expected.

Where's the information on how to donate?

I'm still waiting for the perks to be added from the last donation drive, so are others.

Meh... the perks are nice but not a must. My donation was mostly due to the fact that this forum has been providing excellent VGM over the past several years since discovering this place. You're hardly going to find another forum like this on the net.

Sarah/mods, I'd like to point out the fact that all links at Galbadia Hotel are and have been long dead. Admin has continuously ignored any request or discussion regarding this situation. So, even slashing the donation level in half is a useless gesture. Lifetime Mass Downloads is silly when there are no downloads to be had. :notgood:

Nice to see you back up and running
I agree with Arigeitsu that gratitude by putting one's had in one's pocket is more important
Sorry to see only a blanket thanks and not a personal one [ were there really THAT many donations ? ]
I ask as you were down a few days and i feared that TTIP was in effect :angrymakoto: sorry if the GIFF is inappropriate but now only 1 left to choose from

Amanda,

Do you know of any the costs for GH are included in the maintenance and keeping up the FFS Forum? It seems that if GH is no longer available and lack for a better word, useless, perhaps getting rid of it entirely may help in lowering the cost here? Pardon my ignorance if that is not the case, but just curious.

I have no idea about any of the inner workings of this site. I am not admin or mod, just a member like the rest. So, no clue. I have never actually used the hotel anyway.

Heh… I'd dare to say that the same goes for some of the admin(s)/mod(s), too. I'm not privy to that information, at least.

I've always thought maintenance costs were so high because the money went toward every "website" hosted on the ffshrine.org domain.

I don't know, if it were up to me, I'd just dump everything except this forum. If that lowers the cost of everything, then that would be ideal. But I'm not sure if GH is also handling the ads that they use to cover the costs to keep everything up and running. Not sure if there is a way to get those ads to show up here on the forums though. Yeah, it'd be annoying to see ads on FFS, but if it keeps the forum from going down like it has a few times in the past year, I'd deal with it just to continue to have the luxury of having access to excellent soundtracks.

Sarah, I was all set to donate today and lo and behold, it was gone!

Can you please post the donation information again?


Capt

How do I donate?

I would also like to donate........

... Yet before the download section was made here, the site never had to resort to donation drives to keep going.

where can I donate? no need for the perks as long as ffshrine lives on. i dont have any account or paypal but i can transfer money from the philippines

I am super new here, but PM me an address and in the future I may be able to help you guys out a little. This site is awesome.

so is this donation going on? or is it over?

I have no idea how well the forums operated since my arrival in 2007. Obviously you would have a better idea since you've been a member since 2003. But I do wonder if GH is sucking most of the monetary resources to keep the forum up or not which is why I had asked about it earlier.

Weren't these downtimes for donations supposed to stop happening? :o

I'm not bothered about perks, I rarely visit the site, but I've made my donation.

Dang, just when I get ready to do it finally, it goes away!

Yeah, how do we donate?

Glad we could help out! Thanks for your work! Take your time :)

Galbadia Hotel - Donations (http://gh.ffshrine.org/donate.php)

Still waiting on perks from last Spring. Please PM me if you need details.

Still waiting...

What were the benefits supposed to be? Sorry for bumping this.

As I recall, the perks were stuff along the lines of...

Bigger avatar sizes!
More PM box storage!
Galbadia Hotel premium membership! (Which is the most useless donation benefit I've ever heard of)

More PM box storage!

I could definitely go for that. :laugh:

Where do members donate?
