Stories of Tie Up Games

Hi everyone!

I am humbly requesting assistance in keeping this site online. As many of you know, hosting websites comes at a price. I am asking you for a donation to help me keep this site running. I have been able to pay the subscription fees to keep this site going, but it does eat into my checking account each month. I would appreciate any donations you are able to provide. Thank you!

Cost of Hosting Fees: 65.25 per Month (Yes, it has went up since 2022!)
Yearly SSL Renewal Cost(keeps your connection secure): $106.99

Total Cost Annually: 889.99

Thanks Chad I’ll definitely help out (:

Consider it done! I would like to see a PBS-telethon. “With every donation, we’ll add another rope to our volunteer.”

Just donated. Keep the good work going!

Not surprised to see costs have gone up just like everything else. I probably won't get to it today but I'll definitely donate in the next few days!

ST helped.

ALMOST HALFWAY THERE, FOLKS!

Donated what I could not too long ago. Let's keep this site going! Please!

Just sent my donation. This is a GREAT site, which i very much enjoy, so glad to help.

Happy to help the little I can and I hope this community will all continue to feel the same way!

I'll provide in December.

We've been stuck at 2/3 of the way for a while. Getting worried we may lose this site

I hate doing personalized commissions, simply because I both don't have much free time and do not consider myself a good enough writer of TUG stories, but the thought did occur to me of a different type of volunteering. Say something like: "for every donation above a certain amount, author so and so will write a TUG short story about a topic/theme posted on this thread..."

I'm not saying we should, just musing aloud (keystrokes on my old clicky keyboard are loud). Already we have many great authors who post almost daily. It would be just sad to see all this disappear in a blink.

But I just got here? It can’t go down!

@ChairBoy,
IF we all get our hands in our pockets, it needn't go down.
We have received donations large and small and often anonymous but we still need more.

Nothing to worry about. We've already raised two-thirds of the objective in the span of only a few short weeks.
We'll reach our objective like we always do in another few weeks. Let's keep this thread alive so it's not forgotten.

I did my best to help I hope we will reach our objective.

Thank you @Whitestorm and thanks for bumping the thread.

Only 150 more to go!
Keep it up, folks!

Looks like we're almost there
