This topic is now closed as I have updated it for May 2024. -

Having taken on the site, forums, and all of the bills, from Dev (May 2020) and because I also want to be fully transparent about the cost of running the site, I feel it's time to update this information. Sorry that it has taken me two years since I last gave an update, just life getting in the way. If you'd like to donate, please do so via the green bar at the top of the forum pages. The months of July through October are pretty heavy with annual and semi-annual expenses and every little bit helps. Here's the breakdown as it stands now: Chat is now free. (Stu now runs the Chat) Regular Charges: There are occasional one off's as well. Forums: $70.00 every six months (February and August, effectively billed in January and July). (Was $45 until 2022, support ticket system depreciated!) Resource Locator: $53.00 yearly, this "widget" failed this year, so I have been able to find a (currently) free replacement. Resource Locator Mapping: Google maps, currently under the minimum monthly usage, so free. Email Delivery: $5.00 monthly currently free, changed to a service that offers a much larger monthly allowance. Server Rental: $30.00 monthly. Greatfully sponsored by The Breast Form Store. Security Software: Now included in the package we have. Domain Renewals: Approx $75 annual charges for Transgenderpulse.com, Lauras-playground.com and the server domain. Contact Us Form Software: $79 yearly (August). Total Monthly Breakdown: $54.50 per month. (Annual bills = $654) Updated May 2024 (Slightly down on previous years). Now then. I'm on a fixed income, which means I know what it's like not having a penny to spare. If you're not in a position to donate, please don't feel guilty; I didn't take over here to turn a profit. The lights will stay on. Donations are very much appreciated, but they are not a requirement of membership. An update to clarify a couple of points: Because you have to use your legal name with PayPal, emails confirming your donation from PayPal will be from a name with the initials "DS", not Petra Jane and the email used is tgp (at) uk-web*** Unfortunately, we can only accept payment through PayPal, and please ensure that you have permission to make any donation through a PayPal account, we have been stung by someone alledgedly using a PayPal account without the owner's permission and incurred an additional $20 chargeback to refund the donation! We have recently seen a number of these of late so I am asking that genuine donators please add your forum username in the comment box so that I, and I alone, will know who has sent the donation and that it is genuine. Thank you. Also, this appears only to Members who are logged in on the forums, New Members need to have made a minimum of 10 posts. Let me reassure you: Donations help towards ongoing costs related to keeping the site running, including hosting, bandwidth, etc. It also encourages us to commit regular updates, add features, and improve the service. Our promise to you is that this site and its use will always remain free of charge. Petra Jane -

This is the dress I'll be wearing this evening while we watch the Kentucky Derby. Not sure if I'll throw on heels or flats with it - probably flats but I haven't worn heels in a while and the Force is strong.
