Hopefully you will notice that the Donate button has come back. Time to pay for the server again and in fact we are overdue, which is entirely my fault. Please contribute whatever you feel able to but all donations are anonymous so don't feel pressurised. Having said that, get paying....  |

That line does not seem to have moved much... still looks like a big yellow slash.

It is actually time for us to donate again (sadly).

Of course it costs money & time to run a league, but I'm a little curious where all the money disappears to. In UKGTL, GTR (maybe more), the amount is £220, here in UKGPL £150...in the first post in this thread: The server rental quarterly cost is about £ 300thIs it possible we could get a glimpse of bills, for it must be presented.  |

You may have noticed the last posts on this thread were a year ago. That was when we used to contribute a nominal sum to the T7_2 server. See here under the server tab. Unfortunately the T7_2 server was attacked by hackers and became unreliable and the T7 Team haven't been very active recently. For this season we are relying servers owned by our members who kindly let us use them for free (Badblood - UKGPL3, Cookie - UKGPL8 and Jethro - UKGPL9). So as far as I know we haven't spent anything on servers for a while. We don't use the UKGPL donate button to contribute to SRou (SimRacing.org.uk) which is the parent website for UKGPL (owned and run by Dave Gymer). But there is nothing to stop UKGPL drivers donating something for the maintenance of SimRacing.org.uk via the SRou donate button. The SRou donate button is mainly used to fund the servers for UKGTL and UKGTR etc. Hope that helps |

Thanks for reply & sry, no I had not seen the last post was a year old, my mistake.
...but, UKGPL still have expenses for £150 in donate.
I'm a bit confused now ?
£150 is only for UKGPL
£220 is only UKGTL
£220 is only UKGTR
...& It continues PnG...& maybe more, a lot of money.
Cost of Simple Machines Forum is free & is at Arvixe, $4 monthly x3=$12
All clubs have an expense, but members must have insight into accounting, it would make it easier for everyone to donate when they know what the money is used for.

GTL, P&G, GTR2 & AC all use the same server services which is what the £220 is for.

I've reset the meter to show zero balance and zero Quarterly cost. To be honest I don't know how much is in the fund. It can't be in debt because it is not a bank account (it is a paypal account) but there can be unpaid bills pending. Only Badblood and Vosblod know how much is in the fund and how much we owe. Unfortunately Vosblod has been absent from the forums for some time and Badblood has been very quiet recently (we all have real lives which sometimes gets in the way of simracing). But I'd be surprised if we owe anything as we haven't used the T7-2 server for quite a while. Setting the balance to zero has the effect of removing the Donate button. If there is nothing to pay there is no need to donate. That doesn't mean there are not costs involved in running the league. But at the moment any costs are being covered by the organizers. So don't worry about the funds for now, just enjoy the best racing simulation available and all for free . If we need some funds to pay for the domain name registration ( www.ukgpl.com) or if we need a commercial server, I'm sure the members will be asked to contribute. |
