Donate to keep Enemy Boat Spotted's servers running

Post by 0verzeal0us »

Firstly, I hate writing posts like this, but the piggy bank is mostly air and a little bit of dust, so apologies in advance!

We love building and maintaining this community with you, and it’s generated countless hours of fun and (literal) games. Like all good things, keeping it running takes a bit of behind-the-scenes effort (and yep, actual money).

If you’d like to support us, simply click the Donate button above. Or if you're on mobile, tap the "burger" menu ☰, then click on the "PayPalMe" button. That’ll open the donation page in a new tab, and if you’re able to choose “Friends and family,” it helps us avoid those pesky processing fees so your full donation goes straight into powering the servers.

Think of it like feeding the meter, except this one runs on enthusiasm, caffeine, and server costs. We’re not asking for much, just enough to keep the lights on and the community alive.

If you're native currency is not the pound, if you have a PayPal account, transfer the money into your account first before sending it our way as "foreign" currency includes fees.

Please note: the donation details have changed, so kindly disregard anything you’ve used before. If you’d prefer to transfer via bank, just PM me.

Thanks in advance for anything you can spare. Every bit goes a long way in keeping this space alive and thriving.

Just as a word of note, I have no idea what happens if you donate in a different currency to GBP. I may get all of it although I might not. Only the PayPal gods know the answer.

Just donated some, and might be able to get some insight:
I took in what I wanted in my local currency. PayPal did the conversion, and a little fee (even with the family and friends thing), and I paid in local currency.

Reading up on this, if you have a PayPal account, transfer the money in and then send the donation.

@HonorOfDuty is this your experience?

Well I've got my bank linked to my PayPal so all I have to do is select that and that's it really. It's all quite easy. Just put in the amount of £ and it wil convert tou your local currency. Another option as a PayPal alternative would be setting up a Revolut and use that through PMs only or something the like

Bank transfer is the best way not to incur charges.

I prefer the old method Paypal is not secure, plus one of the founders is Elon "Fuckwit" Musk.

Elon claims he was one of the founders but thankfully, he wasn’t! That said, he was CEO for a time. I definitely share your sentiment!

I’ve now added more information to the forum (visible to members only). You’ll find bank details there, along with additional info about the PayPal.Me account for security reasons.

Old school is back! And if you’re feeling really old school, cash is always welcome. Just hand it to me or one of the other members of the admiralty if you’re attending the meet.

Wasnt it Musk that had such bad codes, and did "everything" wrong, so the other in the C suite gave him busy tasks to keep him occupied with non-important studff?

He was CEO after Confinity merged with his X.com but he was ousted from the job within the same year as the merger.

I have no idea why he loves the letter X so much!
