The domain name needs renewing. It's £8.80 a year. I believe I paid for it last year, so either we get some kind of kitty going or it reverts back to www.board.beaupeep.co.uk (which is free).

It can be ordered for up to 9 years (£79.21).

Is the old one you mention the one that everyone didn't like because of what it provided (or didn't provide)?

I would be prepared to add to a kitty (but not mine - I add enough cat food, cat litter, toys, vets bills, etc already) to maintain this eminent forum as I get a lot of pleasure from reading and participating in it.

Bill, everyone else has decided to chip in £1000 each. If you could send me your £1000 by mail, I'd be grateful.

I can give you monopoly, Go for Broke, or chips.  That any good?  I can even email you the money, just like the last time.

Yes, Mince. I'm up for contributing to the kitty.
 Let me know how much it works out to and I'll fax the money over.

Can't you put one of those treasure chests on the site for people to contribute?

We pay for this kind of thing out of the mug sales etc. I want to change my advert on the website pages anyway.

So, I have paid for this year as I purchased 4 mugs, four dice with no dots,  and a free pen holder.

Well done, Bill---you now own the site! You can impress the ladies by asking them if they want to see your camel dung.

I don't have a camel called Dung.  I do have a bell that goes dung! though.

Just a thought, but why do we need "cameldung.com". We already have BeauPeep.com. I suppose we should retain it as many people will have bookmarked it by now.

Also, who is hosting Beau Peep now? I now we had DC Hosting, who became Othello, last year, and who then became very expensive. So we moved to a new one Mince set up.

Guys and Girls (Jeez that sounds SO Jimmy Saville).

If it's ok with you I'd like to sponsor the next nine years for Kate, she loved this place and the loonies therein.

Mince just let me know how to pay, I can do cheque, Paypal etc etc.

Max, that's a really kind thought and generous gesture.

______________________________

We do have the funds for the domain registration and hosting, because it is usually relatively modest, and only became a bit excessive last year when we were with D_C Hosting, so Mince switched us away again to another server.

I don't have ANY control over either the name or the hosting, because Mince has assumed control, or even of FTPing web pages etc., but we still do have a bank account, with funds from retail sales, which cover this kind of thing, plus the annual yearly accountancy fees.

So I really just expect Mince to forward bills on to me and I can either pay them, or reimburse him.

We also still have a couple of large boxes of mugs and a few t-shirts.
