These forums cost quite a bit to run, most of which comes out of my own pocket. The advertising on the site helps greatly to cover the cost of the dedicated server, but it's not always enough. Therefore, it would be greatly appreciated if people could donate something - large or small - to the forum fund. Please do consider donating something, however small - every little helps! If you like, you could set up a recurring payment by PayPal - to pay, for example, £5 a month into our account, which, over the course of time, would help quite significantly.
How to Donate
Bank transfer
The cheapest way to donate is generally via bank transfer. This avoids PayPal fees and is usually free for you to send. I can receive money via bank accounts in the UK, US and Eurozone, as follows:
UK: Account number 75798685, sort code 23-14-70 (UK payments only)
US: Please send me a PM for details
EUR: IBAN BE65 9670 3187 7596, BIC TRWIBEB1XXX (payments from the Eurozone only)
Please include some kind of reference to TT-Forums (e.g. "TTF") when making a payment. For bank transfers from any other country, please contact me for details.
PayPal
One of the easiest way to donate is via PayPal. Simply click the following button to send an amount of money. You don't have to sign up for a PayPal account if you don't want to: you can simply pay directly by credit or debit card.
If you'd prefer to donate in another currency, please send a donation to owen@owenrudge.net. Please mark it as a gift/donation within PayPal, and state that it is for the forums.
Other online payment systems
If there is another online payment processor you would like to use, contact me - I may be able to set up an account with them to receive payments.
Cheque or postal/money order
If you live in the UK, I can accept cheques and postal orders. Again, send me a private message for more information on this. Cheques from outside the UK carry a charge to pay in, so please contact me beforehand to discuss the matter. If you have previously sent me a cheque, please send me a PM to ensure you have the correct address.
As a last resort, you could send me money by post, but from a security point of view this is probably not advisable.
Amazon Affiliate Links
Another way of providing a bit of money would be by buying an item from Amazon via one of my affiliate links:
Amazon UK
Amazon UK is the preferred link to use, if you are able to. Use https://www.owenrudge.net/amazon/ as your Amazon link in future..
Amazon.com (US)
Using our Amazon.com affiliate link may result in a small donation to the forum.
Amazon Canada
For Canadian visitors, please consider using our Amazon.ca link.
Thank you very much for your help. You are a very generous community, and it's thanks to you that this forum can survive.
