It's that time again, recently I lost my job due to state budget cuts. I am looking of course, but the job market is a bit busted up right now. Anyway, I will not be able to fully cover PSU's costs out of my own pocket for the next month or two, until I find a job. Currently PSU runs a little over $500/mo for all our servers and space. I have several options, first we can start charging for outfit hosting, start charging for forums (chances of that are slim), cut services (IRC, AGN etc), or raise funds. The last PSU fundraiser was a huge success, we raised over $1000 to update all our hardware and purchase new servers. Last month I had to purchase our 3 servers outright, which cost me a bit of money in itself. Also I have been researching advertising for the last month or two, and have come to the conclusion that there is really no money in it. Not only that, everywhere I had applied to had already met their quota's for gaming sites. So that is not an option anymore. If I am able to raise a healthy chunk of money we will have no problems. If you are interested in donating, all you need is paypal. Click <a href="https://www.paypal.com/xclick/[email protected]&item_name=PSU+Donations&no_no te=1&tax=0&currency_code=USD">here</a> to donate, or on the right sidebar.
Remember, it is the community that keeps PSU running, we are here to provide you with a home away from the official site, and to bring you the latest news and exclusives. If not for you, we would not exist. Edit: Via Snail Mail: Sterling Hammer P.O. Box 10 Groveland MA, 01834 Checks/Money Orders must be payable to Sterling Hammer |

Snail Mail...hmm...not a bad idea, considering my mom already has to mail insurance companies letters. The letters go something like: Dear SqueekyMed Insurance. You denied payment becaue of X. Doctor Q did X. You suck. Give us our money. You are all rich bastards seeking to withold payment for false reasons.

My condolences Hamma. This is a mixed blessing. On the one hand, you have more time for PSU. On the other, you no longer have money for PSU. What a bind.
I do sincerely love this site, especially the forums! Just as you said, a home away from the offical site. I'm sending in $20 right now via PayPal, and I should be able to give a little more come payday.

Hamma you know what, these PS sites are dying daily it seems. And finally, I seriously think it's time for SOE to kick in money.
Think about it, FAN sites are FREE promotion for the game. Anyone that types in *PLANETSIDE* on a google search is going to get this website too, and they will most likely come here as well. So, companies SHOULD help out when situations like this arive. SOE is making a slaughtering, you're here and upkeeping this site because you love the game. It's time for the BIG spenders to cough up the $$$$ |
