However, they do need some support to stay that way

Now this isn't exactly a 'begging letter' ; I alway post just at this time of year as it is the anniversary of the bb's.

I have a dedicated server running these sites. It doesnt come cheap. However, my server logs show we have only had miniscule downtime (other than deliberate for maintenance), and I have not had to contact the hoster on a single occasion.

Much of the ongoing costs are covered by google ads, sponsored banners and a couple of ads for online poker sites on the chipguide.com domain home page, although these 'contributions' have really diminished as a result of the economy, so any additional support to reduce my costs is always welcome!

So, this is how you can help!

1. You can take out banner advertising as detailed here (also accessible from the permanent button at the top)

2. If you don't have a site to advertise or link to but still wish to contribute, then there are three ways you can do this.
a) You can 'sponsor' one of the Museum of Gaming History or banners which are currently running free of charge.
or
b) You can make an anonymous (to me) donation (unless you type in a message) through the button on this page.

Thank you for your continued support!

Note that most regular advertisers annual subscriptions are due for renewal this week so I have emailed those people individually already to see if they wish to renew.
