Target reached! Thanks for the support

  On July 1st we started our quest to collectively raise funds to support this site for the rest of 2012 - and just 16 days later I am delighted to announce that the target has been reached.

  If we take into account some donations made before the Chip In widget was created, a total of 23 individuals contributed to the total. I'm not going to list them, because some of those people very much wanted to donate anonymously, without receiving public kudos.

  However what I can say is that I was surprised and humbled at the range of contributions, some of which were from people who have barely made a written contribution to the site. What that shows, I think, is that underneath the vocal minority are a greater number who come to the site regularly, read the blogs and character builds, and enjoy what is on here - yet do not feel that they want to contribute by writing anything. Well, you guys have contributed in this way - and I especially appreciate that!

  So a big thanks to each and every one of you. The site is now secure until at least January 2013. We'll have another appeal later (assuming people are still interested in the site in January) but for the time being the donation widget is being removed. I only ever wanted to cover my costs, not make a profit, so - as I promised - no further donations at the present time

  Once again, thanks to you all
