Awesome! I still plan to donate something...

An update, from the site:

We have reached our goal $750 for site licenses!

A sincere and special thanks go out to Chris Clementson and the members of Game Show Forum
for their over whelming support and generosity!

(note: any additional money donated will pay our monthly server bills)

Great job, everyone. We've contributed to the preservation of what we love. This is definitely something we can all be proud of.

Our own little Christmas miracle.

$25 here.

Considering I'm still getting paid by the state for at least a few more weeks, I droped $10 into the museum fund (wish I could do more) -- $10 is a bargain just for the two sets of themes due to appear soon (Cross Wits & Whew!) alone!!!

I put in 15 cent for now because it's all I have for the time being

Bravo, GrandMasterGalvatron!

No matter where the money goes (I, too, don't care)--can we all agree it was for an excellent cause?  I heartily look forward to doing it again next year.  Great job to everyone who pitched in, no matter what the amount.

Merry Christmas everyone!

If I may point out one thing (he said meekly)...

Paypal does take a cut out of every donation, I think it's now on the order of 2.9% plus 30 cents per transaction.  It could be less or more based on the specific Paypal account.  

I'm going to be lazy here and not do the math, but it appears that in order to net the $750 that he needs for the license, he would need to collect something above that... not much, but maybe 4 percent more.  Yeah, a whole $30, but it would still wind up being $780 instead of $750.  

I'm glad he was able to reach, and, it appears, exceed his goal.  There are other causes around here that will miss theirs by at least a mile.  We all do what we can; as my late aunt always said when she gave her nephews a dollar or two at the end of a visit, "I wish it was more."

Edit: $933 on the donate-o-meter as of 12/24, 9AM Eastern Time.

[Mr. Bill]

I still intend to throw something in the kitty but I have to wait till early January to get the money.  Now, thankfully, I don't have to feel guilty about not being able to do it by the original deadline.

The music licenses and web hosting are yearly expenses, so we'll be doing this again next year.

Spectacular news. My only regret is that I wasn't able to contribute anything this time. I definitely plan to donate when I can, though.

After my earlier discussion, I was curious, so I contacted the TVPMM last night and heard back from them this morning.

I am pleased to report that if one wishes to donate anonymously to the TVPMM, one need only shoot them an email at tvmusicmuseum@gmail.com indicating what name they should look for the PayPal donation under, and they are more than happy to respect those wishes and not publish that name on the Benefactors page, disclose it to inquiring parties, or whatever.

So for anyone for whom that was a concern, let it be known that the TVPMM respects your right to privacy. Kudos to them for that in addition to their hard work.

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!

Seriously, though - although I haven't been able to donate much, from what he's posted it's been a tremendous return on investment.  I plan to donate in 2010.
