Help Us Out?

[Oscar]

We've been online bringing lot of fun for the past 12 or 13 years and all this time we've relied on the kind donations from you, the members. It's been a very expensive run through the years and through good times and bad times, we've manage to keep the site online. Sure, we've had our moments of chaos when the site has done dark for a few days due to technical problems. For the most part, we've been here and have been happy to provide you with what I think is the best roller coaster sharing website on the internet. I might be biased on that one but lets roll with it.

With the new site, we incurred a huge expense. We're talking thousands of dollars in the way of hardware upgrade, software upgrades, software licenses and renewing software licenses needed to run the website. We've tried to run it with the minimal amount of ads and to be honest, the income from them suck! Our last check was for $12 and change back in November. $12 might get us through 24 hours...

We do have premium accounts, but not enough premium members to cover 15% of our expenses...

As you can see, we don't make any kind of profit. We've never had a year of profits. It's all been a loss. Well, a loss of money. We simply can't put a monetary value on the people we've come to know. We like all of you, except cool5. Just kidding, we also like him. Even if it appears we hate you, we like that you are here.

I'm here hoping to see if you can show us some love and help us out with the hefty bills we encounter on a monthly basis. I know some of you will ask for how much we pay for hosting, and even if you know that number, that doesn't take into consideration the many other costs mentioned above. Let alone the several hours we spend here to make sure everything is working right both as a community and from the technical side.

If you can spare a buck or two or maybe more, will you help us out? Just click the Donate button in the menu and you can help us out through PayPal.

Thank you very much,

Oscar and Mike

The Premium Account option currently gives a 404... Donating $5 for now. I never know my left over money since I am a full time student and on financial aid, but I'll be happy to by premium if there is such a thing. I wish I had more time to play RT3 and NL2, but hey, spring break is coming! Thanks for the new site improvements and for asking our opinion on the matter! Keep up the great work!

Thanks, just want to see the site continue to improve on what has been a good redesign!

Ok Oscar - you hit me at a vulnerable moment and $10 is on its way to you - don't know what thats cost me in UKP but I guess paypal and my credit card will sort it out - they usually do. Just keep up the good work - and thats an order

You and the site have helped me out as I got to grips with NL2 - and have enjoyed many hours pleasure from experimenting and riding my creations - and hope many more hours are ahead.

Just keep up the good work - the donation is my way of saying thank you for all you've done - wishing you all the best for the future - and hope the site continues to prosper from donations and the community spirit of like minded nutters here on CoasterCrazy

PS: like the new site - this is my first visit - looks cool and businesslike.

Hey Alan!

Thanks for the donation, we really appreciate it. We'll keep up the good work, for sure! I'm glad we've helped get many hours of fun

If you ever need anything, let me know. I'll help as best as I can!

Thanks,
Oscar
