What happens if we go over $2,500

    Since we’re close to the goal, some people have asked this question: What happens if we go over $2,500.

    The answer is that we collect more for other NPD needs.

    Why would we do that?

    • The server space we asked for with the $2,500 was the least we thought we could get away with and still be operational. More space could be purchased with any extra money.
    • The maintenance and hosting of the site were not figured into the $2,500, either. If we collect more, we could also put the extra toward that cost.
    • We may have to “buy” the name from the folks in Maine, so if they want some money for that, well, we will be able to offer it.

    Hope that answers the question some of you have been asking.

    Everyone has been so generous, and in such record time. It’s a wonderful thing. This would not be anywhere beyond a dream of rescuing the site without your support.

    You are all amazing!

    Thank you so much,
