I see they're looking to collect 140 euros for the month and have only received 5 so far. I might make a donation myself if some of their full time members step up.

Not sure how well that feature works because I just donated 5 euros and it is still showing total as 5 only.

It's something they should attend to because if people think nobody else is donating, they're more likely to not donate themselves.

I just donated 40 euros ($54), mainly because I think it's important to Alizée to keep this forum going.

"If you have donated, comment in this: donation thread*, so we may review it http://www.alizee-forum.com/showthread.php?26674"

i do not understand why is hosting the forum so expensive ?

Me not too. I know they had a classical website too, but now it is just a forum. Domain can't be so expensive, so maybe hosting eats so big money.

Well hopefully they'll work to bring their costs down as AAm did.

well example Alizee-France is using a free forum (I think so), they just have own domain for it.

I volunteer with a non-profit web site (and pay for it). It costs me $10 (less than 8 euros) a month. A more robust business package is $20 a month.

I checked the host I use. For $80 a month (60 euros), $60/month for first year, I could get a Dedicated Linux server with Unlimited bandwidth (although server connection is 100Mbit). (They also have a server deal for $60 = 45 euros). The server would have an Intel® Atom C2750. with 8 cores, 8GB RAM, and a 1,0000Gig (x2) hard drive configured in Raid 1.

As I said, 140 euros ($185) seems high. :)

Looks like this has come up again.
