Zone Anime forum - Anime , Manga and GFX online community

Well the last month we only got $40 in out of $90 needed, on top of that this month we've got $5 in =\ (I can't find a way to reset that bar on the forum.. So I just left it =\) Anyways that makes $45 for $180 of costs.

On top of that i'm paying for the DDL system out of my own pocket, the scripting and installation is expensive enough, I have to pay for a dedicated server on top. Also a skin is being designed for the ZA forum to add to all this.

Now I don't normally ask for donations except for server costs, but I'm not going to have enough to cover everything if I don't get some help.

Here's the overall costs that ZA will have for the next month :

Skin = $200-300 (I'll show some previews once it's been designed, I've asked the designer to make a dark blue skin =D, you can then comment on what you don't like etc. )
DDL system = $200
DDL server for 1st month ~ $100
ZA , AniTube and Manga Connection costs : $130 (That's how much it costs per month, I only ask for $90)

Now all i'm asking for is enough donations for the ZA, MangaConnection costs =$130. I'm paying for the rest with a mix of advert cash (That's been saved up for quite a while) and my own pocket, I don't really want to delay these plans anymore, I've been waiting since last Decemeber to start the DDL system (If you look at the ZA plans post, you'd see that) and I'm always trying to improve the forum.

These are the "Semi Final upgrades" before I think ZA is at it's "Complete Stage" , all that will be left afterwards is a skin for the ZA main site and a link system.
Well that's all from me.

Until I'm happy on how ZA is, i'll keep overdoing it B).

It's not actually that expensive, it has to be custom designed and once the whole thing is designed it has to be coded for vBulletin (Forum system).

Lol, anyways all together adverts etc will pay $310 (All the advert cash i've managed to save up, loads of it ends up going into the server =\, a looong time for saving ) so that still leaves me having to pay a lot =_=. Well anyways i'm not asking for any cash for all my 'projects' and 'improvements' , JUST the main server =_=

If I had my own server I'd be happy to let you run everything off it for absolutely nothing, I think I could actually get that for this site in fact but it'd be a long shot and a lot of messing about as I already have my own site and forums running off my friends server, I think it'd like 2 TB of memory and loads of other stuff.

He like built his own server and now has it running somewhere where they run a lot of servers and you have to give them a bit of money for it, i forgot the name but wouldn't you be better off with your own server rather than paying these rip off internet prices?

Just a thought.

that is such a good idea megamanst. only prob is that most people wouldn't even donate a dollar.

The only problem with that is that there are only a few handfulls of active people, and I don't think everyone is old enough ( or rich enough ) to give money in their current affairs. I, myself, am both too young and too poor. Besides my parents won't let me get a paypal

Yea... its crap I know

exactly my point a dollar from everyone that can. Soooo, lets see that would be, Zanet, AoN, Buringhand, Myself, Ridorana, and the select few others. LOL I'm just pointing out that even if the frequent donors gave a dollar a piece that would be like 20 buck total. Personally I'd rather donate 10 to 15 bucks a month all by myself.
