Okay Epoman I hear the cry for a donation. I will see what happens Thursday with the retro paycheck. Any address you want ti sent o? Or shall I just throw it into the air and yell your name and you will come and get it?
Now don't everyone run away from this thread at once.
I am sure the financial burden for all you do now and for future plans must be tremendous. This is a problem all free sites run into at one point or another if they are popular. The only way to keep it free and large at the same time is to start using advertising banners. I know it sucks, but with the rate at which the site has gained popularity it's the only way unless someone else can finance it or the contributions flow can keep you running. Unfortunately contributions can only go so far. It's a fantastic site that provides help to so many people regardless of if it questions and concerns or just a much needed break from the reality of it all and I would hate to see it go away because of funding issues.
Hello, although I am new here, I am very well connected in the digital world. In the tragic event of your death, I am positive I can have this site hosted elswhere for free regardless of bandwidth, although the web addy would be somewhat different, the site would remain a .com and keep the integrety you have strived to attain. Not to mention my team of very capable programmers, graphic artists, and business minded friends can assist in any upgrades, graphics, or other related work that may be needed on a voulunteer basis. I hope something like this would not be needed, but given our health, one can never know. These things usually take money, and sometimes lots of it, but being a dialysis site that I may support, good will could come flowing in on a moments notice. Lets hope it does not come down it though, a little positive thinking, and some footwork, go a long way~! Keep up the great work~!BFrosty~
No, no sub domain, I am involved with some groups of individuals who own and maintain large servers for hosting. Anyhow, this is just an offer in the case of an extreme emergency, my hope is that it would never come down to it in the first place. When I read your thread my heart sank when reality set in, were all fighting to live, and dying is a risk we all face, it's my hope that you may overcome this and carry on for a long time.
Epoman, I will try to support this site whenever I can. I do appreciate this place!
YAY! Epoman! Because of him we have this site. Because of his forward thinking we still have IHD.com. Thanks to Rossman, Okarol and Sluff as well as Trina and Nick for their support and hard work!
