Hi all,
We are due to lose the domain name for the forum, this is something which has been free for us due to the popularity of the site but Forumotion has changed their business model which means this now costs us. We have always relied on small donations to remove ads but are looking for 1500 credits (around €15) to keep the domain name for another year.
Sky.

All I see in the footer is:
Create a forum @phpBB Free forum support Contact Report an abuse Copyright 2011-2018 Forum Rules Legal Disclaimer
EDIT: Noticed that the footer actually changes each time I reload the page- mainly the first link on it changing EDIT 2: Seems to be mainly 'Create a forum with forumation' changing back and forth with 'Free forum' EDIT 3: One load added the links of 'video games' and 'play MMORPG...' FINAL EDIT: The first link changes a lot to variations of creating a forum; 'create forum', 'forum create', 'forum create with forumation' etc.

Have you tried the link above?

That’s where it takes me to pay via PayPal and uses the website link as the destination.

This seems to be the website that it takes me to on the admin panel.
Address of the forum is thedarkcity.forummotion.com
Not to be awkward, but the link is sending me to a page for Premium Options for forums, including removing ads and additional storage. It doesn't have a straight "donate" button.

I notice that too, another reason why i'm waiting.

Guys you are right to be awkward, it’s your money after all and I appreciate you looking to support the forum.
However, whether it’s my activity or something but the domain name has been secured for another year for free and I’ve also changed the forum over to https which makes it more secure.
Ads will remain (they are not mine, they are forumotions) and the only way to remove them is by paying for a year.

Ok, keep us in the look once you find out more information if you don't mind and thanks for the https!
Also might be nice if we could have donate button made for the site somewhere on the front page?

I could make one, a tutorial came up when I was researching donations. You used to be able to contribute but that method looks to have disappeared a long time ago.
I would be able to make a button but would then need to set up a seperate PayPal as I have never looked to profit from this forum.
Will keep your posted.

Maybe you could consider setting up a bitcoin adress as well for those bothersome weirdoes that refuse to do business via Paypal? I'd be happy to contribute some cryptocoins.

It looks like we may lose the domain name now as we are Unable to raise funds to 3600 credits, we need 1000 more.

@Sky Serpent - how much in cash is that 1000 credits? I still haven't worked out how to contribute since they changed it but I'm happy to chip in, even though I'm not around much these days.

Hello old friend.
As an admin you can go into the admin panel, Misc, credits management and then buy credits. 1000 is about £11.

Is there another way I could donate a bit?
Thanks!

I've paid for the extra 1000 credits. If @Sky Serpent can do the necessary to sort out the domain name then hopefully we should be business as usual.
