Introduction
It takes a lot of effort on the part of our volunteers to keep the site working as it does. That makes the upkeep of this site much less expensive than if we had to hire someone to those things. But we do have a couple of recurring expenses.
Expenses
Domain Name
Our domain name (multiverse.org) will have to be renewed before June 16, 2014. Four to five year extension will cost about $100 US.
Web Hosting
Our hosting with Dreamhost must be renewed before March 28, 2011. It costs about $90/ann to pay for host, though we are required to pay for 2 year blocks.
Software
Our portal software is mostly free except vBulletin. They have made some unfortunate changes since being acquired, and we are forced to, we may have to pay a lot more for the next version. It's $195 for the software, and an additional $80 for support.
Income
Cash
Berry Sizemore has made donations of cash.
Auctions
From time to time we have auctions where Michael Moorcock, members or guests donate items for auction. The purchases by generous bidders become donations to the site.
Commissions
We get commissions when you buy books
Charity
We make donations to Womankind Worldwide or Doctors Without Borders whenever we drive for funds for the site. Our 2009 auctions generated a little money for DWB for Haitian earthquake relief. If you follow the links above you can make a direct contribution to either charity instead of donating to Moorcock's Miscellany if you prefer. We don't mind!
DONATE!
Please make a donation to the ongoing charitable contributions and site expenses by sending us a little something via PayPal. At this time we do not accept donations of cash or checks. Thank you so much for your continued support. Remember that a contribution isn't a guarantee of service or a service level agreement.
