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?

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!

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.

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

Good luck

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 😀

In reply to Dave.

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.

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

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

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

In reply to Mug. Only if you want to. If you don't want to then I would encourage you to not donate anything.

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

In reply to Some mug. 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.

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

In reply to Fnerk. Financial sympathy is also much appreciated.

In reply to 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.

In reply to Lewie Procter. Pc preferably, and I'm nowhere near Manchester so the pint will have to come later.

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.

In reply to M.

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.

While we’re at it I could use some money too!

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