YaoiAi.com Needs your help! (Very Important - Please Read)

[Ai]

Dear All.

As our 4th birthday approches, YaoiAi.com and our sister sites are facing a crisis of sorts. For the last 4 years I have been funding the sites more or less out of my own pocket and our server costs have recently increased to around €270 (euros) a month. Currently the adverts we show generate less than US$120 per month and revenue is falling. I personally have just had to pay a very large tax bill which has left me with no spare money to continue paying for the server. Due to paypal regulations I am unable to place a donate button on this site because it is classified as "Adult Material or Services", instead we rely on members who wish to donate to contact us. This is less than desirable as the vast majority see no further than "no donate button, they don't need dontations".

To keep the sites alive for another month we need a minimum of €300 (to be safe), that's about US$410. Therefore we beg that you donate as much or as little as you can afford to help keep YaoiAi.com and it's sister sites running. Over the past 4 years, I have personally paid somewhere in the region of $12,000 out of my own pocket to set the sites up and keep the servers running. We are too big to run on cheap shared hosting, and too small to run on the fully dedicated server setup we require.

If we lose the server, then it will be the end of YaoiAi and all the sister sites. I've poured thousands of dollars and hours of time into these sites and to set them all back up again would take over a week of uploading from my home PC - something I simply don't have time to do. The future of these sites rests in your hands... You have my personal promise that any and all funds collected will be used to pay server fees and nothing else.

If you think you can donate even $5 to keep the server running please Private Message me you will be given details on how you can donate.

Best Regards, (and hopefully not goodbye)
-Ai
YaoiAi Admin, Owner & Webmaster.

Hey there Ai, I clicked the contact button below to contact you for a donation, but you haven't answered me yet...? Maybe I did something wrong?
Anyway, I'd like to donate 10 dollars via PayPal, if possible.

Please respond,

I wish I could help, but I'm tight on money right now, too. Can't get a good constant job...

Update: I just donated 15 bucks!
I hope the sites remain alive and running!

I'm very sorry to hear that news. Since I discoverd YaoiAi last year, it has not only been my primary source for yaoi but a very fun, entertaining and interactive site, and is now easily my favorite website. If it were to shut down, I would be nothing short of devastated which is why I will try my best to get a donation in and contribute to the sites survival. The fact that you maintained this site for so long on your own is absolutely astonishing and means alot to me. Thank You.

P.S. I've been meaning to tell you this: everytime I click on the photo options and add a picture to my favorites it causes the window and internet to freeze, and it's not just my computer that encounters this problem. When and if YaoiAi survives, I would really appreciate it if you could look into this little flaw.

Sincerely, C3Yaoihunter
