Help me pay hosting please

Update: Target reached in exactly an hour and a half. You’re all wonderful. Hosting is now paid off, cheers.

Update2: A few last minute donations pushed me over the £70 target, so if anyone would like me to refund their donation let me know. Otherwise I’ll stick it in the hookers and blow fund.

I don’t really like to do this, but my bi-annual hosting invoice just arrived in my inbox and I didn’t quite realise it was due so soon. I’m a little skint at the minute too.

If you could spare me a bit of cash, I’d really appreciate it. I also promise that in return I will endeavour to make SavyGamer about 20-30% better than it currently is.

I need £70, and I will let you know if/when I have reached that target of donations.

I’m not going to go hungry or anything, and SavyGamer won’t go down even if I get no donations, but this would really help me out. Please only donate if you can easily afford it.

Edit: Just hit halfway, need another £35. Thanks so much to everyone who has donated, it’s all appreciated.

    Donated, a deal on F1 and a pint would be great thanks 😉

      What format and what pub?

      • SAeN #

        Pc preferably, and I’m nowhere near Manchester so the pint will have to come later.

      • Lewie Procter #

        I’ll have a look for the best price on that shortly. If you’re going to the Eurogamer Expo, I’ll be about for that.

    While we’re at it I could use some money too!
    Paypal: areyoufucking@serio.us

      If you don’t want to donate anything, then that’s fine.

      I run this site pretty close to single handily, without any adverts, and all I’m asking is for some help covering my costs. I’ll be taking the donation button down as soon as I hit the cost of hosting.

      I don’t really think that’s unreasonable.

    Might chip in a few quid to help when my next lot of cash comes in at the start of October, although work pays me randomly so I can’t promise anything but financial sympathy.

    • Lewie Procter #

      Financial sympathy is also much appreciated.

    Surely you get enough from affiliate schemes to cover bandwidth costs? Or am I being retarded here?

    • Lewie Procter #

      That would be the case if I was more effective at budgeting, but I’ve had a few unforeseen expenses over the last few months.

    So we are paying for your greed? Sites like this are a plenty and they get by just the same.

    • Lewie Procter #

      Only if you want to. If you don’t want to then I would encourage you to not donate anything.

    Gave a little, it’s a great site that deserves it

  7. You should just post up some AdSense. I wouldn’t mind seeing ads and I visit this site every day.

    Donated a little – I hope PayPal don’t take too much off the top before you see it. Appreciate you keeping the site ad-free

    • Lewie Procter #

      Thanks!

      I can pay it direct from paypal, so I won’t have to pay any fees.

      And yeah, being ad free is pretty important to me. I’d consider ads if I could have classy ones that I could have control over, but all I could probably get is online casinos and credit cards, and fuck that noise.

  9. I donated. Why wouldn’t I? it’s a decent site that supports PC gaming. I don’t get all the hatred. He didn’t mug you in the street 😀

    • Lewie Procter #

      Thanks a lot, really appreciate it.

    Hey Lewie,
    you’ve saved me over 70 quid, so the least I can do is donate.

    Good luck

  11. Illuminatatus #

    I woulda donated but I was too late.

    Next time I see ya I shall donate more festival lovliness as long as I can share your hookers and blow…

  12. Adam Hepton #

    I saw this too late. I could have given you free hosting for life. Let me know in two years if you want to switch.

  13. mamac #

    i also saw it late aswell! love this site mainly the PC section, would have donated aswell!

  14. I saw this too late. If I see you at Eurogamer, I’ll just have to donate to the H&B fund.

    I’m fully aware that there are alternative places to find deals, but Lewie does a bang up job, is doing it for us and has saved us a fortune. Keep up the good work!

    • Illuminatatus #

      Agreed. He is a sexy muthaflubber as well donchaknow…

  15. Matthew #

    Too late, but would have donated as you’ve saved me enough money to be well worth tipping. Maybe a small, permanent ‘Donate’ button would be useful to have on the front page?
