The community needs your assistance. If you can afford to donate any amount please do. We need to raise $300.00 over the next week (by June 20th). The lack of funds this month is due to a large number of cancellations and some unforeseen expenses. We will fall short this month if we cannot meet our donation goal. I would like to thank everyone in advance for their donations!

Each member who donates will be recognized on our donations web page for there contribution. You can keep track of our progress by viewing our donations web page here (http://steamgamers.com/donate.php).

I shall buy Bubba his first blow up doll for his party. The boy needs to learn. And nothing says 'Where do babies come from' like a good ole hooker doll dressed in a nurses outfit.

First of all THANK YOU to all the people who have donated already. I can't believe we are past half way in a matter of hours. That just goes to show how strong this community is.

We still have a bit to go but I think we are on a great track here.

Q- What happens if we do not meet our goal?

A- We see if our dedicated server provider will give us some more time to pay the bills (we probably don't want to take that chance).

Q- What are the unforeseen expenses?

A- We purchased our third dedicated server with surplus from previous months and if we kept our growth (which one could assume coming into summer) we would have easily afforded its renewal but instead of growth we lost ~20 monthly donaters. On top of that I had to renew our VBulletin and website in the same month. Also this month we spent $$ to purchase a backup/test site for web development which will allow us to test backups and work on a new admin management system.

Q- What are we doing to make sure we do not fall short in the future?

A- As some of you may have seen we are moving MiniGames and PB. The reason for that is to put them on our better dedicated server in VA (the same one that runs KF) which can handle them better and allow us to save money next month when we don't have to renew our TX server. That should allow us to build a surplus again just in case we stop growing or lose more members. My hope is that in a few month we open another dedi when we have the need again. Despite us dropping our TX server soon we can still run all the servers we have now without problem.
