End of the Line
By Our 2023 Birthday Fundraiser is over. The numbers have been tallied and re-tallied, the counts have been submitted and re-submitted, the projections have been math-ed and re-math-ed. Here’s where we stand:
That’s $107533.33, or 89.63% of our goal. Not bad! Not quite there! Out of gratitude and respect for everyone who donated, we decided to cut back advertising (especially the most annoying units) for the rest of the year to something that approximates what we need to make our goal. The much-hated Disqus ads are already gone. In the next day or two some stuff will move around, but from our point of view this is now a mostly-donation supported site with a few ads on the margins.
Again, to everyone who donated or pledged or sent a check or bought a t-shirt, you have our deepest gratitude. If your support of this site is limited to reading and commenting and perhaps now and again sharing a link or a pod, you also have our most heartfelt thanks. LGM will always be a labor of love, the money notwithstanding!
