Donations needed to keep this site operational
Update: 06/21/05 -- 0one Games, Clockwork Golem, Creative Mountain Games, Dark Quest Games, DogHouse Rules, ENPublishing, Expeditious Retreat Press, Hekoya Studios, Highmoon Media Productions, Le Games, Malhavoc Press, Parent's Basement Games, Red Spire Press, Ronin Arts, RPGObjects, ST Cooley Publishing, Sword's Edge Publishing, The Kyngdoms, Twin Rose Software, UKG Publishing, and Wizards of the Coast have generously donated prizes to randomly drawn individuals who place a donation. Details are below along with the current amount raised.
The d20 Magazine Rack is in need of donations in order to keep the site running for another year. Without additional funding, it is likely the site will close by the end of July. Donations can be made through the Paypal donate button on the upper right side of your screen or by contacting Steve Creech directly via email.
Since late 2000, this site has provided gamers with some of the best resources, articles, product reviews, and electronic magazines available. Membership is growing on a continual basis as more people visit each day. Our staff reviewers are some of the most-respected in the industry, our free resources have been downloaded frequently and our articles serve as inspiration for others.
We wish to continue to provide everyone with these resources that you have come to enjoy. However, do to the high costs of operations, additional funds are needed to allow for continued operations. The amount of funding needed is not substantial, but does represent a financial problem on a personal level for myself.

Re: Donations needed to keep this site operational
Recommend you ad a prominent tally indicator, on the home page, of how much you have raised thus far.
Seeing that people are donating usually inspires others to do the same.
