What? No, this site has to carry on! Last summer I came on here as a complete idiot and got chatting to a couple of people who through either gentle or blunt means got me to FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS and discovered my own copy of despecialised movies…

Haven’t been on here in ages, I don’t have accounts to access stuff that is seeded etc sadly or the ability/or even the content to upload for others - but…I’ve donated as a thank you to the community who helped me out (I was actually quite poorly last summer and the distraction of Star Wars was welcome).

I’m sure there are many of us on here who are complete novices and can only just about manage to click on a link and keep their fingers crossed - so, be gentle with us.

It might be useful/helpful if we had a running total of how much money/how many months in advance the site is paid for? It might encourage people to know if they send $5 each a month then a core group will keep the site going? Additionally, if we know it’s struggling to get over the $75 line most months more of us might chuck some cash into the pot realising we need to?

Finally, and I know this might be a bit “naughty” but for those of us not technically minded - help from the experts should result in a donation to the site - so if anyone asks someone on here for a link or access or a disc to be burned I think the reply back should be “donate to the site and I will”.

just my thoughts - hope the lights stay on for a long time!
