Hosting from Dreamhost: $214.80 every two years ($8.95/month).
* This is due 9/11 of this year
* Covers everything on the next few domains except TCRF

Domains: $12/year each, we have 6:
* acmlm.org
* acmlm.net
* xkeeper.net
* rustedlogic.net
* rustedmagick.com
* tcrf.net

+ two personal ones I don't really count in this metric

VPSes:
We have 3, two of which are "used":
* rohija: hosts tcrf.net, ~~$40/month~~ $50/month ($40 VPS + $10 for Linode's backups)
* valkyrie: hosted tcrf.net, still has some legacy data I need to save, $23/month
* noroi: small server just for testing tocici, can be axed, $3/month

Ad rev: $50.38 right now, usually makes about $1/day (take the price you see under the bar, subtract 10 cents and take out 25% for fees)

Donations: $0 (they've been going to the recurring VPS cost)

Basically Rusted Logic is personally bankrolled by me to an unknown extent

I don't know the specifics, but if you were wondering where the money is (or where it isn't as the case is), now you know.

You didn't ask anyone to donate anything.

Therefore, I donated.

13:42 @BMF[Mobile]> so uh, should we do a donation drive or some kind of thing for Jul/TCRF
13:43 ~Xkeeper> No
13:43 ~Xkeeper> I can cover it all.
13:44 ~Xkeeper> I have been for a while, actually
13:44 ~Xkeeper> The $210 charge in a few months will sting but it's not a huge deal, I just need to remember it's coming
13:44 ~Xkeeper> (so I can have the funds available)
13:44 ~Xkeeper> (or prepay I guess)
13:45 ~Xkeeper> Donations are always appreciated but I don't need them at this moment

Thanks, though.

Keeping in mind that donations are appreciated, but not expected, could you share the most practical options for donating to a good cause for those that may want to do so?

Really? How generous.

Donations with this button go straight to the hosting bill, and we can't withdraw them, so you don't have to worry about us secretly buying drugs or other fancy stuff with your money.

However, there is a slight fee involved, so suffice it to say it's often better to donate $20 at once intead of ten $2 donations.

Thanks in advance.

At some point we plan on getting a 'donor star' for those who paid our bills... other than that, there isn't really any other benefit than a warm, fuzzy feeling.

We had $19.94 in credits, so I went ahead and paid in another $198 or however much it is to bring it up to what you see below.

~Xkeeper> Current Account Balance
~Xkeeper> Current Balance: $214.80 [POSITIVE BALANCE]
~Xkeeper> $214.80 every two years ($8.95 per month) edit
~Xkeeper> basically dreamhost is paid up now, so no surprises there. we're good until 2015
~Xkeeper> viva la rustedlogic

(Fun fact: DreamHost pops up a dialog if you try to make a big payment. "You're trying to make a big payment, but WE owe YOU $19.95!" or such)

Anyway...

TCRF's hosting is still $50/month. Stats.rustedlogic.net is being moved to its own Linode later to solve the problems TCRF is having, which costs an extra $20/month.

Thanks for the donations, everyone. Sorry it's taken so long to get the Wiki back up and running, though.
