    Tip Jar

    This is and always will be Adam's site. He owns it. He has allowed me to assist with the technical details.

    Most of you have offered to help financially and I promised you that at some point I would put out a tip jar, so here it is.

    https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hoste...=VT93C92LN3W8C

    You are under no obligation to contribute, this site costs about $250 a year to keep open - maybe $800 if we have to scramble due to unexpected software/host issues which we hope we don't have to do again for awhile. We're paid up until October.

    You get no privileges for contributing. You are not penalized if you don't. Adam doesn't even know I'm doing this and he certainly doesn't condone this. But he shouldn't have to worry about the site going down because he forgot to update his credit card so here we are. If you want to send some money, thank you. If you want to send good vibes, thank you as well.

    It wouldn't take my card for some reason. When I went back in, instead of a donation to NEIP it said I was going to donate to ClaimGig.

      Looks fairly clear cut to me that the donation is for NEIP.

          ClaimGig is me.

          Sorry for the confusion.

            Ok, tried to pay w/paypal. Put in the amount, and hit enter. Took me to this screen:

            Donate to
            ClaimGig

            To put in yet another amount with no mention of NEIP. Why is it asking me to put an amount in again?

              I get endless phishing emails and NEVER use a provided link for anything. Please text me a PayPal account email addy and I'll pony up. Also the check box makes it look like there are processing fees. That would be avoided with a direct "gift" to someone via PayPal wouldn't it?

              Sorry if I'm complicating the issue.

                I was able to use my credit card. I just added in the processing fee so that Scott/Adam would get the whole donation.

                  You are a kind and generous person.

                    Ok, I keep getting this message:

                    Something went wrong
                    We couldn't process this donation. Please try again later, this could just be a temporary glitch.

                    Can I just send a check??

                      Thanks anyway, but no. Don't worry about it.

                      Thank you everyone who donated, we've got enough for at least the next year.

                          You can pick it up next year. Promise.

                          glad it worked out, Scott. I think everyone here is willing to pick up some of the tab. Just let us know when it’s needed again.

                              How much does it cost per year to run the place? Knowing will help determine how much to give.
