So I couldn't sleep yet >___<;; (thinking too much but will soon since it's almost 4am now), I will still be back in 12 hours from now.
@Kojichan ; As what sumire007 said, we went to reduce the site's load and downsized it to save cost. But I am currently looking into reducing slightly more if possible. There are also backup and fansub servers, which keeps most of the things here especially past records and most of all the downloadable things here. I will need to discuss more with my tech admin, Dai-kun soon too.
For Patreon, it takes up more fees than one thought, apparently it's 10% including PayPal fees. So I was introduced to Ko-fi.com which helps take the same kind of payment like Patreon but without the fees from the host site (only PayPal which is unavoidable), though less feature than Patreon but since I am not an artist like those in Patreon and this is not like an income source for me, then Patreon is really not advisable.

Hey Aarin, you know my heart goes out to you.
I'll set something up as soon as I have a bit time. Hope we can get this all sorted out. This place means too much to too many people to loose it.
Also, can I ask what hosting company you're using? I'm using a company called "Only Domains" for our company website. Not sure if that would be an option looking at, but from what I found, they're one of the cheaper ones but still offer pretty much everything you need.
But check with Dai, he should know best what your minimum requirements are.
Thanks again for trying to keep this alive :hug:

@Araka ; Dream host and Liquid web for the main ones on dedicated servers, yeah will check with him. I know that previously he checked for the forum's needs and got the plans suggested to him.

@aarinfantasy; You're still here? Go to sleep damnit, it's no good to be awake for so long!XD:recard:
Mister Sandman, bring Aarin her dream bung bung bung bung~

@sumire007 ; GAH! I GOT CAUGHT! >__<
Well, sometimes I am still up at this hour, it's 5am now! lol
My mind's just too much going on... but then it's not all bad things, so don't worry. Sometimes, I do think of ideas and stuff to do each day... like what to live for and things like that ^^;;
-
@aarinfantasy; As long it's not only bad things I'm glad! Still, please take care of you!:kiss::hug:

Hi everyone, I just checked but got to go off for a few hours, so I will do a quick update on things:
I am glad to say that the March 2019 goal is fulfilled!
At the moment, monthly donation is at 23% of the monthly goal, so there's 77% uncertainty for next month (April).
Therefore, I will still be receiving any donations.
We have reached 102% just now for March's goal, so like for the 2%, I will carry it forward to the next month's goal and I will add the monthly donor's amount when the next pay comes in next month.
Like I mentioned before, for transparency purposes, I will be putting out how much I received and from who (initials only will be shown for privacy purposes). I am compiling them in an Excel sheet ^_^
Not sure if I mentioned it anywhere but the donation total amount is already inclusive of the PayPal fees, so I actually get lesser than the donation goal, in case anyone's wondering.
