    Dear FH-makers,

    well , as the name says . it´s for free , but still there must bee some costs for maybe : roomrent , serverhardware, net and so on.....
    not forgetting the free time, the makers/ and admins from freehost sacrifice for fh.
    I know its not polite to talk about money;" -either u got it , or not"

    still curious who pays the bills :deal: , and what could bee the monthly costs.

    donate

    i know in the far past i saw a button donate??
    but never found it again.
    is it an option to post what it cost for a server or hostingspace or something in a list.
    maybe we can arrange some adoption program.
    1 adopts a server
    1 adopts the making off f16 in wbfh:)
    offcourse with a note that it all is volunteers work and knowone can claim/say :director: "he i adopt something but it isnt
    developed:)" :deal: thats not gonna work.
    but can i donate something to help u guys and which ammount u wont need and which ammount u can do something usefull with.
    rates/prices r a lot different i think. :znaika:

    Admins could get atleast few drinks with it.

    Theres far worse options to spend money in. :)
