With our migration to the Xenforo software our costs per month have gone up considerably.

As you all know we have been paying all expenses for dn.ca for a number of years. We have spent countless hours in developing the community but the server and software costs have gone up significantly. If you would like to make a one time contribution to the site or just buy us a cup of coffee for the countless hours of work we have put in then feel free to contribute.


Contributions can be made via e-transfer to: donate@dn.ca

or via Wise: https://wise.com to pay@dn.ca


Please remember to add your username to the comment of the e-transfer so we can credit the right member.

If not you can always post here and we will connect the dots for you.


Many thanks to those helping out (y)

Just to let you guys know...

  • We have been covering all the costs for about 2 years.
  • We have paid for all webhosting costs.
  • We have had a number of server incidents.
  • We have paid for offsite daily backups.
  • We have a technical / iT guy who charges us monthly and per incident.
  • We just paid a company to convert our database to the new software.
  • We paid the new software company to upload and modify the database.
  • We have monthly Server & Software costs.
  • We continue to back the site up daily offsite.
  • The site runs on 4 domains which require renewal yearly.
  • Needed a second hosting account to store additional images. (paid monthly)
  • Moving forward we must also pay our Xenforo licensing costs.
  • Upgrade our hosting plan as needed to assure correct server storage/data usage.

Any time spent by myself is always at no cost to the community and I have gladly contributed for years past.
If you are so inclined you can always buy me a cup of coffee so I can stay up later and add new features to the board. ;)


Again any contribution you would like to make can be made via e-transfer to: donate@dn.ca
 
Any thought of doing a paid subscription? For instance, when someone becomes verified, they can do many more things than a non verified user. Could implement that into paid as well or something along those lines.

I was paying $15 a month to NP for a site I no longer post on. Just canceled it. So maybe something along those lines with what they have in place.

I look at it this way. Someone can spend hundreds/thousands per month on TBR’s, I don’t think giving back to a forum that gives so much is too much to ask and also a token of our appreciation for all the work you have put into it. And and as you mentioned, to help with some of the costs.
