Craske, top right hand corner of this webpage...where it says 'make a donation'  uses paypal. Thanks but I didn't want to do with paypal because they charge the privalige, all sorted now tho.  Odd, cos I use Paypal to pay Dave straight out of my bank account and they don't charge me any extra. I assume Dave receives the full amount that I intend to send? |

No, I get charged a service fee which I make up as 'my' donation. Hence: If possible we would prefer to receive donations via direct bank transfer to avoid PayPal's transaction fees |

We'd almost caught up with the cost of the dedicated server before this quarter's amount was due; the cost has actually gone down by a third but with grid sizes being so low for the dedicated server we're now struggling more than ever to recover the costs.  My sincere thanks to everyone who contributed.  Picnic very graciously gave us three months interest free credit for the last quarter, but that situation cannot be allowed to continue. If we cannot cover this quarter's costs within the first month we need to look very seriously at whether we've reached a stage where, especially in the current economic climate, we can no longer afford our own dedicated server; I probably don't need to say what effect that will have on the GTR2, P&G and GTL activities here.  Anyone got a hat? |

I will see if I'm able to do a direct bank transfer at my Post Office counter. If I can't then it will be Paypal.

Dave, I'm probably being a bit simple, but if our monthly cost is now down to £220, how come we're looking for £266?
Also, another silly question, how come the cost has been cut by about a third?

The cost is 220 per quarter, just over 70 a month. The price came down 3 or 6 months ago, can't remember, as our provider reduced the prices for new sign ups and I moaned |

Because there were additional costs for iRacing not shown until I did a reconciliation for this quarter and realised I hadn't put them in yet. |

I would like to see the costs split up to see where the shortfall comes from. I've not been racing much but I'm happy to put a few quid in to the kitty if it was covering where I was racing. |

Do you have a breakdown of how much is being spent on iRacing hosted races versus the dedicated server as I'm not sure I want to put money in a big pot anymore for both as I haven't used the dedicated server for quite a while and have no intention of doing so, perhaps until rFactor 2 (depending on whether it's actually any better than rFactor 1)?

Nope - last time I asked nobody wanted to know, so I have no easy way of telling (and no way to know what preference people had for donations). We know the quarterly cost of the dedicated server though (it's shown above) which will give you some idea of where any donations will go in the immediate future... |

Thanks for all the generous donations so far  but we're still a long way from our target for this quarter. Keep 'em coming. |
