Army.ca Donations
First off, thanks for visiting this page, as it means you find
Army.cavaluable enough to consider donating. That must mean we're doing
something right now and then.
Even if you don't have the means or inclination to donate, I appreciate
you considering it.
As you know,
Army.ca has provided a free service to those looking for information on Canada's
military since 1993. Our goal is to continue to provide this service,
and do so without introducing user fees or other indignities. In-site
advertising and our generous
Subscribers
have helped cover off many of the operating expenses to date. The
unfortunate reality though, is that running a site - even a "free" one -
is very costly especially as readership, bandwidth usage and service
costs rise. I have spent a fair amount of money over the years keeping
the site alive, which I'm glad to do. At times though, expenses have
increased beyond the point that I can reasonably afford. Donations and
support from site users help cover off some of the costs associated with
this site.
Ready to pull the trigger on a donation?
(Non-PayPal users should see the note at the bottom of this page.) Even
a $5 donation helps - thanks!
Where your money goes
The funds raised by these donations are all put back into the operation
and development of this site. Some examples of this follow:
- Server renewals and upgrades, such as extra disk space, more memory or faster CPUs
- Network access and hosting (internet service, domain name renewal, DNS hosting, etc.)
- Software, such as that used for the forums, etc.
- Custom development work to help improve the site usability and features.
THANKS! Your support
does
make a difference! While I gladly give my time to building and
maintaining the site, your donations will allow us to grow to meet our
rising demand.
Other ways to help out...
We recognize that not everyone who wants to help out is a fan of PayPal,
so there are a variety of other options available as well:
- E-mail transfer to Army
[at] Army.ca
- Personal Cheque, made out to Crypto Logic Canada Inc., PO Box 144,
Port Williams NS, B0P 1T0
- Money Order cashable in Canada
You can also help out by
subscribing to Army.ca
, which nets you a battle badge, shirt and many in-site features.
Lastly, if you know of any potential advertisers, please let them know
that our rates are exceptionally low and we run through almost 5 million
unused ad impressions each month - that's lots of room to accommodate
prospective advertisers!
Once again, thanks to everyone who has helped make
Army.ca a valuable resource. Your time, knowledge and financial help are greatly
appreciated!
