This is e-mail from Amanda. If anybody would be interested in that or have some suggestions please feel welcome to write in to this topic. We can arrange this, but I do not know if anybody will want it. I am sure that people have plenty opportunities to get free e-mails. Junior said that he can do 10 mega. for $ 10 year.

Hai Slatey,

Just a thought which occured to raise funds toward the costs of running APS, what about selling APS web email accounts?

Regards,
Amanda.

i thought the site was sponsered?

 

[Slateman]

LOL we have 3 sponsors but amount we are getting is not that much LOL. We call people who purchase banners sponsors. As you know there is not much money in banner sales. We do not have much trafic here on APS. Rest of sponsoring is covered by me. But I am not complaining, I enjoy this site and that is my reward.
I am just posting Amanda's Post here, in case somebody is interested.
I personally think that people do have plenty of opportunity to get free mail hosting today, and name will be to long.

Probably wouldn't use the addy much Slatey but if you do get it up and running I would be more than happy to subscribe as a donation to the site. This site has given me many hours of enjoyment and I would love to contribute in some way. Why don't you post up a sticky of an aps bank account then anyone who wanted to donate towards the cost of running the site could do so easily?

Yeah...I'm with african...I wouldn't use it but I'd be more than happy to subscribe to support APS.

 

[Ricko]

would be happy with a bit of a donation to aps on behalf of woma_n and myself

 

[soulweaver]

yeah a donation wouldn't go a stray, have several email accounts so i would'nt want another

Thank you for kind offers guys. It is appriciated. I think that we can survive with out [email protected] Emails LOL. We are doing OK so far and thanks to lot of valounteer work from moderators all is going fine. We have new sponsor for baners.
AGAMIDAE is adwertising baners for building encosures.
I think that in the future we would be able cover most cost from baner adwertisment.

That's good to hear Slatey but just remember you have a lot of members who would be more than willing to help with donations or whatever if the site is ever costing too much to run
