Seems like it has been refreshed from a backup that is a couple of days old!!

The wonders of site administration - keeping things alive is a task - I feel your pain!

Recovered from yesterday mornings backup. It's a scheduled backup at 2 in the morning each day, unfortunately the drive crashed before todays backup ran, so we lost all of yesterdays posts.

Well, I for one appreciate all the work that goes on in the background to keep our beloved community online - many moon ago I was a donater, and when I went to renew it, the donation system was disbanded....is this still the case?

I get so much from the LZ community I would like to give back as I did before in way of recognising and recompense for the expenses of site administration....

Are the 'issues' surrounding donations still the same - or am I once again able to donate to the forum?

DanClarke · Mar 22, 2018

I too get a lot of use and fun from the forum and would not at all mind making a reasonable donation to help keep the lights on and the wheels turning.
Where does one securely donate? (Cue Scam posts of foreign and domestic origin).

My fault.
I posted a passage on the virtues of Easystart and the antis came back so fast half of the countries bandwidth crashed.

This is a great site for the likes of me who wouldn’t have a clue without the help I’ve received on here

Someone mentioned J##P and it blew the fuse.
Posts are lost so he got away with it.

I would also be happy to contribute

The donation thing was great when we had it but, we were made aware of some legalities around donations a couple of years ago. I honestly can't remember what the exact reason was but, there was definitely something. I will quiz Roy tomorrow when I buy him a pint for fixing us. My hammer clearly wasn't the right shade of flavor this time

Many thanks @accywingy - if you could also buy him a pint from us too (the LZ community) I am sure we would all like to extend our gratitude.

Let us know what transpires regards donations etc...

Something to do with the numbered account in the Cayman Islands.

What virtues, unless you are both desperate & care little for your engine so long as it starts

I think you missed the glint of irony in that post of Bobs ...

Brilliant for cleaning the extractor hood over the cooker.

Well, one of them.

Hey you don’t think........... naa, can’t be.

Wazzajnr · Mar 25, 2018

Yes, I would be a happy donator too.
Site has helped me no end so I'd like to chuck a few bob in the hat.

A lot of us used to donate, and I think would happily do so again, but it has been raised quite a few times, and apparently is no longer acceptable, as Accy said.

I’m sure B.B. couldn’t be bothered collecting a measly ten grand or so from each of us. It can’t be easy getting out of the hot tub when your watching the sun set from the porch of your sea front villa. The sponsorship alone from Russian brides keeps him in half a dozen teenage concubines supplying endless strawberry dackeries and foot massages.
A.C. on the other hand is that well insured that if he puts his slippers on the wrong feet in the morning a securicor convoy is immediately dispatched to Switzerland.

How about if everyone sent a Victoria Sponge and a large Battenburg recorded parcel post?
