As of April 2024, the monthly server cost is $103.95. This will go up annually adjusted for cost-of-living increases. In March of 2022, there was a major hardware and software upgrade, and we paid for two servers through May. The old server cost $74.95/mo, and the newer one $99/mo. This major upgrade was generously supported by free technical work by Sergei Chekanov. We were overcharged for about six months of server costs during 2022. This overpayment will be used in 2023 to pay for the first six months of server costs.

We would appreciate it if our members could make regular donations, starting with as little as $5 per month, as shown just below:

20 members pledging $5 per month ($60/year) would be enough to keep the servers running for a year, or

15 members pledging $6.77 per month ($81/year) would be enough to keep the servers running for a year, or

10 members pledging $10 per month (100/year) would be enough to keep the servers running for a year
