paypal is no option for me, postal order - dunno about international fees, cheque - not available for me.
electronic bank transfer would be an option (despite the fees..) - or somebody who could collect the money in austria / germany.

"Oh yes, red means help!"
My personal pref would be cash in a letter, sent to Ant's PO Box ...
good idea, but officially illegal.. so: psst!

I'd just like to narrow down the options first.
As some Australians asked earlier, if I could collect and then send as one lump (the dollar is low and if everyone sends in pieces it takes a big chunk out of the donation).
I'll post a poll in a while, just want to see if anyone has any other ideas

English doesn't borrow from other languages. It follows them down dark alleys, knocks them over, and goes through their pockets for loose grammar.
Im in (as I have stated before). I can throw a couple of hundred DKR/year. Thats around (=>run>calc>250/12=20.8883) 20£ a year. I would love stay rid of banners...

problems?

Originally posted by RichL I've been thinking..... seeing how much support us lot here indirectly give Matrox (and IIRC Matrox Tech Support have told people to come here in the past), it would be nice for Matrox to make a small donation to the sites upkeep.
However I know being seen to be financed by Matrox themselves would effectively end the independant stance of MURC, which none of us really want.
So, if like Technoid and latterly Thop suggested, the site has banner adverts that you have to be a paying, registered member to avoid, there's nothing to stop Big M registering a number of corporate users, is there?
I don't think Advertisers would like that as they like too annoy everyone.
There must be over a thousand registered users here so the amount you'be chipping in would be very small. If we gave two pounds or more Ant maybe able to shop around a bit.
Chief Lemon Buyer no more Linux sucks but not as much
Weather nut and sad git.
Not a very active murcers but always here from 1999 so ..... not have credit card but i'm willing to donate from now a certain amount (20-30EURO) a year. Let us Know what are the possible ways to do so.

Is it a big problem, if we send our money using our own currency (€, $, ...) or should we change our money to english pounds before sending it?
In that case the only way for me to send the money to you is to go to a bank and have the money transferred directly to your bank account (or to your bank), I think.
I wouldn't be averse to sending an extra 5% for you to pay the exchange fee.
You know, we could do a fund drive like public television does every year, the month before your payment comes due. Run a thread on it and keep everyone up to date on whether we've reached our goal yet.
