... and on the brink of bankruptcy here.
After Larke passed away, I worked hard with his lovely widow (Cheryl) and his son David (better known as Hammerhead) to get all the site obligations transferred to my personal credit card as they were cancelling the card Larke had set up to pay any charges from this site. I received a bill today from Go-Daddy for the Webhosting renewal at $143.88 (it was automatically charged to my C/C). I called Go-Daddy for a clarification of all charges and they confirmed the $148.88 for the webhosting and said the charges for the domain renewals (.info @ $57.98 & .com @ $39.88) will be processed tomorrow. (Total: $97.96)
I was also informed we have a basic security package (I assume it was put in place after that Russian hack job we had a few years ago?) that will expire on 3/10/23 to the tune of 2-years @ $35.26. It will NOT auto-renew, so it has to be re-established before the 3/10 expiration date, so we have time if we need it.
The balance in our massive Good Hunting Treasury now stands at $140.50, so we're a bit short. Sorry, I misunderstood what charges were pending earlier as I thought the webhosting was all we had coming up. All rates have increased slightly from last year's figures also, but nothing significant.
Here are the book figures:
$140.50 - (balance on the books)
$143.88 - (annual Go-Daddy webhosting)
$57.98 - (.info domain)
$39.98 - (.com domain)
G/H Treasury balance: $140.50
Total charges: $241.84
Total balance in the red as of 7/3/2022: $101.34
As stated, we'll remain up and running as I'm paying the bills on time, but we need a bit of help to get out of the red and back into the black. Any and all donations to keep this place up and running for our 3-1/2 or so active members will be much appreciated .... 'cause I'm broke. :crybaby
