| Unfortunately the site no longer have a main sponsorer as you can see from the left banner at the top of the site, this paid for the bulk of the dedicated server costs which are due very soon, 21st July. We were hoping that someone would sponsor the site when the previous sponsorer's banner expired, but so far this hasn't happened .
If you would like to sponsor the site for 6 or 12 months or advertise click this link http://amigaworld.net/advertising/
If you would like to donate please use the PayPal donate button at the bottom left of this site.
Thank you DaveyD Last edited by DaveyD on 10-Jul-2006 at 09:00 AM. Last edited by DaveyD on 10-Jul-2006 at 08:58 AM.

You could raise a "Help keep the banana dancing"-fund, like they do over at AOrg with this furry, rodent-killing thing |

We need £700 before 21st of July, so far Amigaworld has only £170 in the kitty :( |
WHAT???
Why so much? I mean, does the main sponsor just cancelled the sponsorship suprisingly?
If you were aware of the ending of their contract, why didn't you come up with that issue earlier? We could have helped, it's a little tight now...
21st of July, oh boy, does it mean, AW.net may be shut down for a month? |

Hopefully some sponsor will step forward. In the meantime the more donations users of this site give the better. 700 GBP might sound like a lot, but split that between even a few hundred users and it's not too bad.

Very smart of you to ask for help, thanks for that!
Those of us not on the "inside" have no idea what's happening on our favorite site. So a notice like this is very helpful.

I donated. There are about 60 people online. If they all donated $10(US) that would about cover it.

For what period of time would this amount cover the operating expenses?
