My friends about our site I need donations

This site is like 16 years old. I had to renew the hosting today. It cost me 250 USD. I am jobless I could barely get the money together.
If I don't get any donations to cover the hosting this will be the last year this site is online.
There are 1000 users per day browsing this site and there are no donations.
I am serious. It is not helping me to carry all the costs and now the inflation has raised the costs even more.
I will write down how many donations I got during this year. If the hosting will not be covered the site will be shut down after 1 year forever.
Sorry but that is reality. Seems like nobody is helping. Many of you pay for expensive bad breath clinics thousands of dollars and you cant donate to this site. It is not logical to me. The Katz and other halitomafia are probably laughing, but this happens when you don't sell out. Sadly.

I will write in this post how many donations I got and from who, just the username will be posted, the date and amount...
If we cant gather 250 USD per year, I am done with this site.

The donation can be done here

Hi Jimi,

I’m keen to donate however are the donations anonymous? I don’t mind you listing my username however when I donate will you be able to see my real name?

Thanks for for all your hard work and keeping this website alive.

Ok, listing usernames is fine, I was more concerned about my identity since it’s a PayPal payment and my PayPal email address might be communicated.

I’ve tried PayPal but when click on the link it comes up under a different name to yours
Could I please have Bank details to enable a transfer.

Hi Jimi. Would you consider allowing advertising on the website to earn revenue? Maybe you can limit the ads to things not BB related, in order to avoid any bad/scam information

guys please stop with bank transfer comments. Thre is paypal on our site, it is correct one. Again if we do not collect 220 usd for hosting this year, the site is gone. I will no pay from my pocket again. It is too much.
So please do donations like 50 usd or more if you can.

I can understand your frustration Jimi and the difficulty in monitoring this forum. I’m happy to donate but I’m sorry to say I am unable to donate $50.00 US.
I will donate an amount which I’m able to afford.
I hope the PayPal site is not set as US$ default.
I’ll let you know how I go.
Thanks again for this great forum Jimi😊
