I've renewed the domain until March 2018, but that's as far as the money collected so far goes. Actually, we're down about $15 on that thanks to PayPal's expenses and exchange rate to AUD, so any donations to cover that would be welcome. You can use the PayPal button on any page.

Big thumbs up for SneakyPhil aka SniperPotato and his generous $50 donation to help cover the domain costs! (We're fine hosting-wise, thanks! We just need someone to take over running the whole site and do something with it. :D)

The .cx domain is costing us about $62 per year at this point, so to secure it until 2020 we need to raise about $90 more.

Glad it helped. I've been coming here for the past 15? years regardless of joined date on my account.

I've been wondering when this would come up again.

I'll be in for $25 in a few days.

Well, that's what this thread will determine. If nobody's willing to cover the costs for the .cx domain, I'll register some other extension that's cheaper to renew or just drop the whole site if it'll cost more to maintain still than it's worth.

Thanks to Temaperacl obviously entering $250 in the donation field by mistake, the silly .cx domain is now secure until 2022 and only cca *$20 short of being renewable until 2023.

* The AUD/USD exchange rate makes the yearly domain renewal cost cca 63 USD currently, plus PayPal's fees are cca 5% on the incoming donations.

Oh wow, it's been 7 years since my last collection for the domain. So, I've actually extended it up to 2025 by now, but the last two years have gone out of my pocket as we've only raised money to cover the domain renewals until 2022. I've transferred it to a cheaper registrar now, so to renew it up to 2030 and to cover the last two years I've already paid would be around $150.

Anyone willing and able to help make DAC soldier on, hit the orange Donate button on top of the page and donate generously! (Please leave your username here in donation notes, so I know who to credit.)
