[This bit is Admin posting - sorry to hijack your post FurryP but not everyone reads all the way through... 
We did it (see my post below) so no more contributions needed, thanks everyone!]admin posted this UPDATE on the image hosting thread today:
**** UPDATE 09.09.17 ****
Ok folks, this has been going on long enough, time to start getting to grips with it 
After looking at different options, I have signed up for Fotki for the board images, which are here. It's a 30 day free trial at the moment, and I'm happy to cover the subs for a year at a time after that. It is however cheaper to pay for 5 years in one go, if anyone wants to contribute so I can do that, PM me.
Here is the link: 2peas
UPDATED: Here is the pricing link: link I assume it is the Business column Admin responded: we only need $92 for 5 years. PM her if you want to pitch in. See her post a few posts down.admin , correct me if I linked the wrong pricing. image hosting thread update: thread

So, if I'm reading that correctly we need to raise $432 to cover five years? 432 people chip in a buck?  or 217 people do $2... it wouldn't really take much. |

I hadn't even realized that there was an update to that thread. I think I've just become accustomed to visually scrolling right by that thread. Thanks for pointing out the update, FurryP.  |

You're a good egg FurryP! We don't actually need a huge amount of space, the bandwidth is our biggest issue and any of the premium accounts come with unlimited bandwidth. So it's just the cheapest account I'd get, $92 for 5 years. As I said I'm fine to pay for a year at a time, have been doing that with Photobucket anyway. I have no actual idea how to do this in terms of getting the money to me / demonstrating that it was properly used, I'll figure that out if it looks like a goer. To that end, if you do want to chip in, just drop me a PM with a rough idea of how much you can donate. OTOH right now if you have money to spare, please consider donating to hurricane relief instead. |

OTOH right now if you have money to spare, please consider donating to hurricane relief instead. I will PM you. Maybe you can post a screen shot of the payment made or something. I am sure that would make everyone feel more comfortable considering the money scams that went on at 2 peas on occasion. Sorry to put you in the situation of people trusting you with their money, but for a few bucks, I have no problems trusting. As far a Hurricane help, I think a few bucks isn't going to take away from that. |

I too would be willing to contribute because I get so much out of hanging out here. I trust admin to do right by us, she has already over these past few years. When you stop to think about all the other dumb things we could spend a few bucks on, this would be worth it to me. |

A few things. 1. I can't believe you let me get away with 'closing' a thread 2. We are all paid up with Fotki for the next 5 years - screenshot of the payment below (click to enlarge).  3. Everyone who contacted me to contribute said they could give at least $5, so I went with that figure and took up the offers from the first 18 Peas (which, full disclosure, means I only put in the odd $2 myself). Like I said earlier,  . As a small gesture of acknowledgement, when on the desktop site you'll see a small "Site Supporter" badge above the usernames of those people, like this:  4. Y'all are amazingly generous. There were far more than 18 people who wanted to donate, so I ended up turning many of you away. A bunch of you offered more than $5, some even to buy me donuts or Amazon GCs! I so appreciate every one of you. 
5. Thank you for trusting me - turning money down probably makes me a pretty poor scammer, but I'm aware of the less than positive history on the board in that regard, and even aside from that I felt pretty icky for even mentioning money, so I'm super grateful for the way you responded. TL;DR - Together, we're awesome  |

Well, now we know who has the last word when it comes to closing a thread!
Thanks again for all you do, and to all of the Peas who make this such a special place!

A bunch of you offered more than $5, some even to buy me donuts or Amazon GCs! I so appreciate every one of you. You are a much better person that I would have been...you turned down donuts! I would have taken the donuts, because once I had gobbled them up there would have been no evidence!  Thanks again for everything you do to keep us going here! |
