IForgeIron has ask for contributions to the site ONLY when there was a need. The first request was to cover expenses in new soft wear, bandwidth, server fees, etc. The second request was about spring-07 in order to purchase a server to keep the site on line on a regular basis, and to pay connection fees and bandwidth. BOTH times, when the amount of funds were received, we removed the request and stopped receiving donations. Our goals had been met.

The last request spring-08 was run for about 6 weeks, in order to have funds to keep the IForgeIron server connection fee paid ahead (less expensive that way), to pay the additional band width fees, to purchase a hard drive, and purchase a much needed camera for the site. Some additional soft wear was purchased for the site upgrades. The upgrades are not yet complete, so the process continues behind the scenes.

I realize it was the above post was intention to be a joke, but as you can see the donations to IForgeIron are taken VERY SERIOUSLY. It is a trust between those that believe in what IForgeIron is doing and being a part of helping site continue and improve. To those that contributed when it was needed, THANK YOU !!
