Hi DL, I know what your saying and you are certainly wise with your ways. The forum is not a registered non-profit, never have claimed it to be though either. The donations are purely for the forum, not for myself or another cause. Yes, I can provide a written agreement, contractual statement as such that all donated funds are used solely for the forum and not for personal purposes.

Presently the overall donations to the forum are likely to total maybe.... $100 - $300 per annum, nothing even close to what it costs per month just to have the server that runs this forum due to the interactive nature of video/audio functionality. For example, I attached a snapshot of the invoice amount for the server which hosts this forum (obviously will not post entire invoice as it contains personal information about me), which is $US to ServInt who manage that server for me.

If you want a formal agreement that all monies are used too run the forum, I can provide that for you, yes. As stated, presently the donations per annum have not even come close to paying one months server costs, which I personally pay for regardless. The donations that have been given so far have helped more so to purchase further functionality, like the video aspects, etc. Further donations will help further upgrades and functionality that I want to have also, like the video email system where users can internally video email or just normal email, audio email, choice is theirs, but it all costs money.

Any help your willing to provide is certainly appreciated DL, and you just need to PM me with anything that you specifically want from me in the way of legal assurances.
