Please use this link for donating to NWN server fees:http://layonara.com/donateAlso, you can access this page through the "On Neverwinter Nights" navigation menu.Please note: The tracker on that page shows the total after PayPal fees have been deducted. As a result, the net effect of your donation will be slightly less than the donation itself.

Hey all,I'm writing to explain how this is going to work month to month. This month was huge, we've taken in enough to do five months of fees already. This is pretty par for the course for how we've donate in the past (though I'm not sure if we've ever donated quite so much up front!). What's always been tricky is keeping up the minimum over the long haul. To this end I'm going to keep a monthly tally going and each month still ask for the monthly minimum. I believe there will be months where the community will fall short (for perfectly legit reasons!) and that reserve we have now will keep us covered but we'll want to be sure to have everyone informed on what that reserve is over the months.To further explain, each month I'm going to reset the monthly need to the $118 we currently use to host NWN. In this thread I'll also notate the overall amount, less the fees paid out. So for instance, in January, we will be asking for the $118 despite the accumulated $604.02. The overall total will actually be the $604.02 less the month's fees of $118, leaving us with the standing balance of $486.02. My goal is to show everyone the reserve balance and hopefully keep us reaching for the $118 each month so that we don't end up with a surprise toward the end of one month of 'meet the goal or we'll have to shut down' sad pandaness. It's pretty clear a enough people would rather not do that!Thanks for your continued effort and interest!~row**Note: These numbers are for December's amounts. January has already seen some donations (thanks!)**Reserve total for December: $604.02 - $118 = $486.02

Hi folks,Was working on a quick script to automatically reset things every month and display the reserve total with the thermometer but I accidentally reset things too early.Anyway, the monthly total was met plus an additional $5.23 will go to the reserve fund.Reserve total for January: $486.02 + $5.23 = $491.25-orthP.S. Sorry about the 10 minute server outage :/ accidentally proceeded with a security update before I wanted to later in the evening.

Does this look right? I did the math based on your numbers. I guess we didn't have any donations in December?
Just trying to help

There were no reserves at the beginning of December, that's when we began taking all the funds in. A more accurate table like yours would look like this:Reserve Balance at beginning of December 0.00Fees paid December (118.00)Monthly Donations December 604.02Reserve Balance at beginning of January 486.02Fees paid January (118.00)Monthly Donations January 123.23 Reserve Balance at beginning of February 491.25
