Hello everyone!

 

As always with these posts, I’d like to drop a quick reminder that there are more ways to support Homecoming than just through donations. For a general overview of the different ways you can help Homecoming, check out this thread.

 


 

Homecoming operates in a non-profit capacity* and accepts donations from the community each month to cover its operating expenses. These donation windows typically open on the last Saturday of each month, around 13:00 EST, and are automatically closed once the goal for the month has been reached. Any funds remaining at the end of each month are put towards our expenses for the following month. In the event that our expenses exceed our estimated costs for the month, the difference will be included in the donation goal for the following month.

 

If you wish to donate, you may do so here. The donation window for next month is open as of the time of this post and will automatically close once the goal is met. Thank you for your continued support!

 

* Homecoming is a Delaware registered Limited Liability Company, not a non-profit organization, and donations made to Homecoming are not tax deductible.

Missed it this month, holidays and all...
Thank you for all those who did contribute, especially with the added overhead this month.

It was a VERY generous average per/person this month.
But remember...every little bit helps the community to thrive.

Maybe this is intentional, or at least has been mentioned before... but when I followed the link (https://forums.homecomingservers.com/donate) on my iPad from Discord I got an error about needing to be signed in before I could get the download link. Same thing happens if I try to open the link now in an incognito browser (which I use for academic purposes).

This is intentional - you need to be signed in as your account ID is recorded alongside your donation in case we require it to assist with cases of fraud and similar situations.

Is that mentioned anywhere, like maybe in the Privacy Policy or Terms of Service? Seems like that would be included in writing somewhere before a person donates. Perhaps in the generic message that preceeds your donation target section, albeit that would continue the recent trend I've noticed of making the post longer with things I'm sure Homecoming's legal representation advised be included. Just a thought!

Not sure if this is the spot to say it or not, but as of the night of Dec. 2, the Unofficial Homecoming Wiki is still in need of donations for the month, if anyone is still looking for a way to contribute with currency.

Thanks for mentioning, donated.
