Ok - I know - a totally pointless stat, but I've noticed that we've passed 1,000,000 topic views
We're actually on 1,186,771 - but I hadnt looked for ages 1382 topics, 20259 posts, and we're now averaging almost exactly 100 posts per day, and 4 away from our 500'th member We have a LOT of lurkers For the technical end - August saw a use of 30.64 Gig (1/4 of the limit) - and trending current growth we're safe for some time to come - certainly the next 12 months are looking rosie, and donations have helped ensure we can upgrade if need be when the time comes. What on earth happened on August 24th by the way - we shifted double the usual data then! Was it the Husband hill pans? Doug |

Yeah - the 'front' page is an odd thing - I figure that it's quite usefull, but most people just want to get to the good stuff and would bookmark the forums anyway. I THINK i'd have to 'move' the whole of the forums to umsf.com/forum and then the front page would work properly - but if I was going to do that, I'd want to have something better as the front page.
I dont want to shamelessly pimp the whole paypal thing all the time anyway - it would get annoying. Including hosting and forum software, donations have matched the running costs almost exactly so far. Doug |

I am no tax expert, but my recollection is that in order for a contribution to be tax deductible for U.S. income tax purposes, the receiving organization must be dominantly in the United States and it must have qualifed under Section 501©(3) of the US Tax Code as a corporation organized exclusively for religious, charitable, scientific, testing for public safety, literary, or educational purposes.
I doubt either test can be met at this point. But if Doug ever gets a U.S. server, I'd be happy to help in submitting an application for 501©(3) status for UMSF. Phillip |
