paying for freepchelp

[danzil]

Hi everyone.

May I please ask a little favour.

If I or anyone else on this forum helps solve your problem, would you please CONSIDER donating a small amount of money, be it 50p or £1, as they say at tesco "every little helps".

But there is that saying "the more the merrier"

 

I only just noticed the bar at the top that says "Target This Month" please help Free Computer Support Forums by FreePCHelp.co.uk reach their targets.

We are normal people taking time out of our busy lives to help others......

This will amount to the appreciation, and keep this awesome website running.

Many thanks too everyone that donates, your contributions help a lot I am sure.

Kindest Regards

Danzil:)

Well the bottom line donation is £5 and although Jamie Oliver might be able to "feed a family" on it quite frankly I'm not convinced, if your a drinking man you'd be lucky to get 2 pints for a fiver unless you frequented a JD Wetherspoon hostelry.

 

All the staff work, and you have to call it that, for absolutely nothing, zero, zilch.

 

Consider this, if in theory Mike paid me minimum wage at £5.73p then my annual salary would be £20800.00 + a year, calculate the hours on that.

 

All of us do this because we enjoy helping other people, it's a simple as that. nothing more, nothing less.

 

Income from the advertisements generates a small amount but is immediately swallowed up by the cost of paying for the server.

 

We thought long and hard about adding the Donation bar at the top, and even though we are in the biggest recession since the 30's, we did feel it was warranted because of the invaluable help offered at all times.

 

However as Danzil said the operative word in all this is and always will be CONSIDER.

 

Donations are entirely down to a member and will always be optional and not mandatory.

Thanks Danzil;

 

Like you said there are costs so any help is greatly appreciated.

 

We apprieciate help with the costs and also appreciate help with the many problems members have.

 

So pitch in with money or advice and help keep us vibrantly alive.

 

But fear not everyone. Extreme Tech Support - Free PC Help will always be free as long as we are here.

 

Once again thanks danzil for everything you do for us.

Hi RandyL

no problem at all. really enjoy helping others, and at the end of the day we all learn that little bit more, which cant be bad.

I know the website will always be Free hence the name durrgh, just wanted to try and remind everyone that it would be a great gesture to donate.

regards

danzil

Thanks Danzil

Thanks also from me Danzil, it is important to remember that this great site can only exist because of any cash coming in.

There are costs which mainly go to the server and the maintenance of the service provided by the server. We would certainly not be able to enjoy the features of this site without the income provided, either by donation or the little that advertising provides.

As said, every little helps!

It's always lovely to get help here - and to donate as often as I can. My only complaint ... the nasty exchange rate! Yup, for every $20.00 Canadian, I suspect it's a mere pittance by the time it 'arrives'. :(

[RandyL]

We do appreciate your help too Mara. By the way at todays exchange rate $20 Canadian is 11.188 GBP.

I've added another wee donation as I realised it was a while since I last donated. I figure the cost of advice on here has saved me a few quid and a lot of time. I think it only fair and correct to "give a little back" and once again a timely reminder to give thanks for all the selfless devotion from everyone out there!

 

Thanks again guys!

[RandyL]

Thank you too. Your appreciation of us means as much as the donation.

I've not been using this site for long. But I have used other "Help" site in the past. This is one of the best I've come across everyone (so far) lol here is helpful, trustworthy & sensible. I've just donated!! & will again next month.

Other "help" site I've used, not just PC, Cars & DIY too. Some site have people that answer your queries & make you feel as if your stupid & asking & stupid question! As for running costs of a web site, I know that this can be expensive - just for the domain name.

 

Keep up the good work people & a big thank you for all those who are helping & have helped me.

just for the domain name.

 

actually the domain name is quite cheap in comparison, to the software license's, and server costs, surprisingly most people think that a site makes a lot of its revenue through advertising, well they are easy to spot as they have loads of annoying pop ups and banners plastered everywhere.

[RandyL]

Thankyou dazzac1965. You guys are great.

Can I donate any other way apart from pay pal ? I'd like to cos I do get paid from time to time for pc help/repair I'd like to maybe put a percentage of that into helping keep this place running I know I only been here a few day's but it feels like home

[RandyL]

I'm afraid Pay Pal is the only method the owner has set up. Yes we do try to make it feel like home. The members and staff really are great.

 

By the way. Did you donate? If so I'll change your status immediately.

 

Either way we appreciate your help and hope you never leave.

Donating

 

I donated today just a little cos i actually got paid for pc work done online so I thought i'd give a little back cos i used some of the tips I have learnt here

[RandyL]

I thank you kindly. It's good to know that you made some money because of us. Extreme Tech Support - Free PC Help does indeed have many benifits for the members.

 

Of course we also appreciate the help given by you.
