Difficult to code... will take time and effort I don't have plenty of.
Hard to enforce without code... becomes passive aggressive and a bit shitty, lots of manual effort to force people to give little amounts, and silly "please acknowledge this £1.70" type thing.
The current donation drive has fully achieved it's goal.
The month hasn't ended, and PayPal provide no reports on the total value of subscriptions, etc... but it appears that based on the current money in PayPal and that we've only got 10 days to the end of the month... that we should end the month with about £300 more than this month's cost.
The one-off donations were around ~£250 of this month's donations, and so that implies that the donation drive has met it's goal of getting enough people to sign-up to small donations to offset the GBP nosedive.... that we should be good next month, the month after and so on.
The extra £250 will just be left to sit in the account and slowly get whittled down if it turns out some months do cost more, or the donations in some months are cancelled.
Oh, and this month I increased our costs by $20 per month to add another web server to the mix. This was triggered by LFGSS being under a denial of service attack yesterday. CloudFlare is handling most of the attack mitigation, but I wanted to be able to keep other sites online if LFGSS is attacked (or vice versa) by splitting the traffic such that one of the servers focuses on the sites that aren't under attack.

Shouldn't we start doing this anyway? Sales fees.
