-	Hosting costs on our dedicated server are approximately US$940 per quarter, but FellowSites has been bringing in nearly $240 of that (see below for information about FellowSites), so we only need to cover $700 in donations every three months. Believe it or not, it's been almost a year since our last fundraising drive. We haven't missed any server lease payments, but Joey has loaned the wiki $600 to cover some cost and would like to get most of that back as soon as possible. A detailed statement of our current financial situation is available at our [[Special:Ledger\|ledger]].	+	Hosting costs on our dedicated server are approximately US$940 per quarter, but FellowSites has been bringing in nearly $240 of that (see "How else may I help?" below for information about FellowSites), so we only need to cover $700 in donations every three months.

	Although $2,000 is lot of money, please don't feel obligated to donate large amounts just to reach our goal. If only 200 users donate US$10, we'll raise the entire amount. We currently have over ten thousand registered users on the wiki. Even taking into account that many of these are vandals or sock puppets, it's a safe bet that at least 200 are actively using or contributing content to the site. If you use the site often, US$10 is a small amount to ask for six months. If you are a power user (you know who you are), US$20 is still quite a reasonable amount.

		+	Donating via PayPal will deduct a surcharge of 2.9% plus US$0.30 from the total amount transferred. Please take this into account when you send your donations (After surcharges, $10.61 = $10.00; $20.91 = $20.00, and $51.80 = $50.00).

		+	Alternatively, you may send checks or money orders through regular mail. Since the Homestar Runner Wiki isn't legally incorporated, please make donations payable to Joey Day. You may mail donations to:

		+
		+	If you are sending a donation from outside the United States, please remember that an international money order or check (cheque) payable to a United States bank would be appreciated. This is to avoid collection costs, which can be in excess of US$50. International postal money orders payable in the United States are available in post offices in many countries and will ensure your complete donation goes to the Wiki. Please do not send currency through the mail.
