06:48 pm - My Two Cents...Literally ~So, as of this moment, three of y'all have kicked in $71 which covers 42% of May's hosting. This is a Good Thing. Honestly, it feels creepy to me having to wheedle cash out of you guys. I really wish we could just pony up the bread ourselves. CJ is not about making money and we're perfectly happy to break even. Hitting you guys up for cash feels so...commercial. Ick. But we still have to operate in a Kapitalist Plutocracy, so No Dough, No Go. And we have had to Tap The Plastic too many times - broken eyeglasses, a very sick kitty, a bad tire – and our lil pad is now tapped. However, if y'all keep up the above good works, we'll be fine for May. And we hope to have a far cheaper host toward the end of this year. *crosses fingers* I would be a shame if CJ crapped out before that happened. Since Le-Le [aka shamangirl] is the Principal Code Monkey – putting the URL in the href is purdy much the limit of my coding talent – I'll be keeping up the “We Need Money” drumbeat and I'll repost this post until we make the rent. But here's an idea: The Buck Forty One Project I know you have a buck. I mean, dude, really...you gotta have a freakin' buck! Okay, now take that buck, wrap it in a piece of paper, beg/borrow/steal an envelope and stick said paper wrapped buck in said begged/borrowed/stolen envelop, slap a 41 cent stamp on it and mail that sucker to: CommieJournal 2010 West Avenue K #379 Lancaster, CA 93536-5229 As of this moment, there 2246 members of this community alone. Even if half of y'all did the above deed, our shit would be Golden and we wouldn't have to bust your chops about cash. And I'd much rather be out on Dar Intarwebz causing trouble for the fascists and plutocrats than be here hassling you guys for money, ya know. PS Addressing the issue of advertising; Once you become beholden to advertisers, you get attached to their agendas [and fears] and become vulnerable to harassment by groups like the religious lunatics that provoked the Great Strikethrough last year on Live Journal. That event is the specific reason for Commie Journal's existence and the source of our iron clad No Ads Ever policy K, that's all for now. We'll keep you appraised of developments.
