Please Help Support SUBSIM

send yourself a christmas present by sending in a small donation to subsim to keep this site running

think about it, how much did you spend on that relative you wish you didnt know and didnt want to buy a gift for

i'm sure you like subsim a lot more then many of those people you hardly knew but still bought gifts for so pitch in and help neal.

it costs a lot of money to keep this site running and i dont think neal is on bill gates' donations list so no big donors are sending in huge checks so its up to you and me to pitch in.

trust me, neal isnt making any money from doing this so give whatever you can, if thats $5, $10, $15, $25, or whatever you give please give something

see details here: http://www.subsim.com/sh2fleet_forms...fundraiser.htm

I am at a loss as to how it can cost $600 per month. I do not disagree with the idea, just bemused at the cost.

Bandwidth costs money unfortunately. The downside of having a popular site is you use rather a lot of it.

When a website has a lot of traffic and bandwidth, as Subsim does, it takes a dedicated server to manage it. With SH5 coming in a few months, traffic here will double (at least). I run two servers from The Planet, https://www.theplanet.com/servers/pr/Default.aspx

Just smile with pride

you did your part. The fundraiser will end in a few days, and no one will hear me about $$ again for a while.
