I wish, i dont have the time right now to learn how to develop an app for iphone. But the http://m.canadaka.net/ kinda works, just not a nice fancy GUI.

It's too bad that thread died. We need a Android app that would help generate revenue and bring new people. What kind of features would we be looking for?

Do you have a private Paypal account I can send money to Trev? I have some funds there from writing that I can send your way to help out.

Nope, me and me wife are banned from PayPal for life, no appeals, total bullshit.

My account was suddenly banned because this site had a link to a site that contained porn, no warning, no chance to fix or appeal. And then a couple days later my Wife's paypal, that she used for her business was banned and also my gaming clan =CKA= was also banned. I guess because they all shared the same billing address. Total crap, you could say we are not big fans of PayPal. If you search the internet there are SOOO many stories like this and worse.

We had switched to Authorize.net for my wifes business, but its pricy wit a $25 a month fee. But This summer i found out about STRIPE, which is an awesome simple credit card processer, with no monthly fees. So I can only accept credit cards, not PayPal.

Its been a huge hassel, many ad-networks, clients and stuff I want to personally buy on the internet only accept PayPal. And in Canada there is no good alternative.

I stil pop in from time to time Trev so Post the 'how to pay...' via Stripe, and I'm in.

If I ever get my Visa edged away from max, I'll donate what I can.

Maybe a pre-paid...

[Canadaka]

Thanks for the interest in donating to the site!

I have setup a simple recurring payment subscription form for Stripe. Its on the facebook.canadaka subdomain because I have SSL setup there and I wanted this form secured.

I do not save billing or credit card info, it is sent securely to Stripe via encrypted SSL for processing.

For a monthly recurring donation of $2, $5 or $10 use this.
https://facebook.canadaka.net/stripe/

For a one time donation use this donation page
http://www.trevormay.ca/donate/

Donations to either spot I will add to the donations list and you will be given gold status, which will hide all ads on the site for you.

I sent you a donation via E-Transfer Trevor. I wish it could be more, but it's been a pretty tough year for us.

Same here. Around Christmas there is no such thing as spare money here.

Curtman - $150 - Dec-17 2013

Well played Curt.

I'm glad to help.. Knowing that Trevor has a $2220 bill, I'd feel like I was stealing from the guy if I didn't.

Maybe the guilt will bring a few more donations...

Seriously though, CKA needs to be at least revenue neutral for it to survive.

[BartSimpson]

The Stripe thingy worked just fine.

Thank you so much for the donations, I was not expecting all that. I was feeling pretty down about the whole situation, but the combination of this support and Google re-activating Adsense for the site has changed that.

I seriously thought Google wouldn't unban the site, it had been almost 4 months. It was crazy timing that it was unbanned probably 15 minutes after I posted this thread.

With Adsense revenue coming in again, Bart's forum sponsorship and I'm getting one of the other sites I host to start paying $20 a month, it should be ok. It should be at least breaking even now.

I'm still several hundred dollars in the red for the year, but these donations have taken a big dent out of that.

-------------------------

I wanted Bart to test this first and everything worked fine. I created a special page that handles setting up monthly recurring donations at $2, $5 or $10 a month, or $15 a year. Any of these will grant you Gold member status.

With all the laughs and good times that this and =CKA= bring me, it's easily worth it.

I'm here more than I watch TV, so it makes sense to put the same sort of entertainment money towards a great cause.
