I don't think there were any setup fees, but yeah that's pretty it.

Maybe I am blind, but what is the Paypal account where I can donate to? Maybe it should be placed more prominently.

I am just onboard for a week now but loving the project so far.

Thanks vlada

Btw I've been meaning to ask for a while, what happened to the donation stats page?

[Vlada]

It was removed. Since we have over 10k on our account we considered just spending that on our bills instead of taking more donations, but since we switched hosts our monthly expenses have gone up. Now with 10k we wouldn't be able to last more than 3 months, so we kinda gave up on that. Ill see if we can bring that page back though.

Reading on the blog you wrote regarding Tanya/Xavia..

Wouldn't it be possible to take some of they moneys from the SWGEmu account and help out, or is this already planned ?

[Vlada]

When we first collected money it was specifically for Tanya, we didnt collect it as a donation for us and just give part of the money to her family. What you are suggesting is a bit different and I'm not sure if we would be allowed, legally, to do that.

But its not a bad suggestion, ill talk it over with others and maybe we can consult a lawyer or something.
