I am embarrassed to say that I have not donated in quite some time to fumbbl. I am going to change that and I encourage you to do so as well. I would like to see $2500 dollars raised in the next month to defray costs for Christer over the next year. That isn't a lot if we all consider donating.
Let's all chip in, maybe Christer can give us updates as they come in!
Edit: I decided to raise the bar higher after getting a few PM's for coaches. |

I have developed a habbit of donating money to Fumbbl when I am celebrating something. Last year I got a major scholarship and I am weeks away from getting my degree so I am going to donate 200 SEK now and an undetermined sum later when I get my first proper job. |

I would donate 10EU right away (and some more when I finally have a job again) if there was an alternative to paypal since I dont have an account and I really don't want to use paypal. Any ideas? |

I have a guess but I think that information is more up to Christer to decide if he wants to give it. I just know a lot of effort has been put in by Christer, SkiJunkie, Kalimar, Lakrillo and the rest and I would like to see fumbbl keep going for a long time. |

I have no problem stating the cost of running the site:
* Roughly $100 per month in running costs. This is mainly power use and ISP costs, but includes minor things such as backup media
* Roughly $100 per month for hardware replacements. This is naturally an average. Hardware is generally more costly than $100 but the costs don't appear every month. |

Same here, I have lots of trouble with paypal (and my bank, aaaaaaaargh). If I ever make it work then I'll celebrate with a donation to Fumbbl. |

To those of you that don't want to use/ cannot use Paypal, I know Christer in the past has allowed people to donate directly to him via a money order. |

You can pay by credit card I believe. |

I have accepted donations through direct bank transfers (international if that's the case), but the fees for that can be quite high and make it not worth the effort.
I absolutely can't accept cheques as my bank tells me that international cheques come with something along the lines of a $100 fee, which pretty much means they're never worth accepting.
If you wish to do an international bank transfer (or a Swedish national one) rather than use PayPal you can contact me through a PM and I'll provide the details you need. |
