Photoblogs.org Fund Drive
We are thrilled with the success of Photoblogs.org, and we'd like to thank all of our members and visitors for making this such a fun and rewarding project. When we started Photoblogs.org in 2002 with 15 sites in our directory, we never imagined it would eventually grow to over 8,000. Wow.
We have reached a point where we need to upgrade our server to accommodate the growing amount of traffic. This means that after nearly three years of running this site as a labor of love, we can't continue to absorb the growing costs.
How can you help?
Your donation will help offset the rising costs of running Photoblogs.org. We hope you know how much your donation means to us, whatever the amount. We love this site and we want it to be around for years to come. Thank you so much for contributing.
Thank you,
Brandon

Brandon -- it's a pleasure to be able to repay a small part of what you've contributed to this community. --JH
Brandon: I'm glad you finally decided to go down this route so we can all give something back. Here's to a speedy campaign :-)
~Brandon: you have my financial support, and thank you once again for a community worth being a part of...~
I hope this is a speedy campaign and i have a lot of pleasure to contribute.
Glad to help such a valuable resource.
Brandon, Thanks for all you've done for the photoblogging community. You're essential to our society.
Thank you, Brandon, for your dedication and commitment to this community you've started! You're wonderful.
This is wonderful, the amount is just climbing!
You should run this campaign once a year to cover your costs.
Woo Hoo, I was the one to break the $3000 mark, Glad I could help
Is there any non-controversial way we could authorize Brandon and Ashleigh to take a little of this well-deserved bounty and go out for a lavish night on the town? I'll chip in some more...
I'd donate a bit more. They deserve a bit of a vacation from photoblogs.org.
Brandon, thanks for everything. I'm glad I've had a chance to give back.
I'm glad to help out! Keep it going!
I am very glad I can help. If you need any FreeBSD sys admin help, please let me know.

Good work, people!
:-D
I'm glad I didn't miss the train!
GOOD LUCk!
I'm glad to be a part of this. the number is going up amazingly fast! you guys rock.
$3000 in only a few hours... not bad at all... there you go! :-)
so please to contribute this community to live and grow up!
I hope you reach your target soon.
Glad to have been able to help you guys out.
All the best.
I am glad I could help. Long life to Photoblogs.org! You're almost there, Brandon!
Glad I could help. Best of luck and hope to see photoblogs up and running soon!!
I should have added an extra 47 cents! That would have pushed it to $3500.
...and don't forget to tag it in del.uicio.us
Let's ram this puppy in /popular
This is very impressive. I stopped by earlier today and pledged my support. I've just come back to take a look and we've almost hit the target! I'm really glad that I've been a part of this.
Hope to see our community back "live" soon.
Fantastic response, I'm really pleased we could all help and show how much we all appreciate what you have been doing for us as a community. I tried to picture a photobloggers' world without photoblogs.org and it looked pretty darn ugly and cold!...
Wow!! I was here this afternoon and just came by to check out how it was going - wonderful response : ) I'm glad that we all showed how much we care about this wonderful not so little community! Makes me smile!
Looking good -- it looks as though we've donated more than 10% of dropcash's total so far!
Thank you very much for maintaining this amazing site. I can't tell you how many hours of enjoyment it has provided. I'm very happy to contribute.
I hope what I gave helps - it wasn't much, but I very much want this resource to continue - it has helped me find my way around this new and rich world and has nurtured my own return to photography.
I topped off the 47 cents, and a bit more. :)
glad to help out and see such a supportive response from the community.
who else is sitting here hitting reload?
me :-)
haahahaha.... what time is it there?
5.39am - I was woken up by our two year old and thought I'd stop by to see how things were going.
So come on folks, hurry up with the last 138 dollars and I can go back to bed!
you're in the future. how is tomorrow? should i buy lottery tickets?
It's dark, and everyone is either tired or asleep. Mind you, it's better than living in the past ;-)
I am very glad to see Photoblogs.org will still have a future.
97% and still 9:54 on Thursday here. We're gonna make it tonight!!!!
This is the definition of a "no-brainer". :)
I'm glad when I can help. This wonderful community will go on and I'm glad to be part of this! Thanks, Brandon.
it was pleasure to help.
the numbers shows - it's great community!
thanks, Brandon.
can someone cue the theme song from jeapardy? $53 to go!
I'm waiting as well. It's 12:20 here (midnight)
Brandon,I am always thankful to you. I can participate in campaign and think that I am glad.
$4000!!!
Very fast and i am very happy !!!
Thks Brandon for photoblogs.org and thanks all for your donation.
WOW! Seeing that the goal was met inside of 24 hours is just tremendous!! I don't feel so bad now about being unable to contribute due to a late commute and a downed 'net connection.
This proves that the community is most definitely willing to show their support to keep the vital photoblogs.org up and running - a big THANK YOU to all who contributed!!!!
Congratulations!!!
yayness! look at that lovely big 100%.
We the man!
Woo hoo!
Unbelievable! Thank you all! I had no idea this would happen so quickly.
What a great way to start this year. I'm really excited for the future of Photoblogs.org.
Love this community! $4000 in less than 24 hours. Simply amazing. Glad to help and hope to continue to do so to make it even better.
Contragulations Brandan, on the overwhelming show of support. This is a testament to the 'community' you helped to create and provided a home for. A community I am proud to be a part of and show my support for.
Awesome! I can't believe I missed it, but good news nonetheless.
