I put in $20.
I guess the only question I have is where does the money go? I'm sure it is needed, but letting people know why the money is needed and what the money allows you to do would help encourage more people to donate.
thats what my only question would be, does this go to fund infrastructure( I like that this site runs fast) or does it go to salaries of some sort. I always thought that the little bit of advertising on this site funded most of the needs (I buy from the advertisers when ever possible). other than that keep up the good work, even with the few squabbles that flare up time to time this is the most informative site I know of. the moderators all have a thankless job so a quick thanks to them
I have my donation set up on Paypal for annual donation subscription, So it dumps in $20 every year to support Patron status.

Above is stated "This donation drive helps fund Cast Boolits for an entire year, and helps support our 2nd amendment rights!"
As to what this means, I do not know,
but the ANNUAL quest for ONLY $6000 is not going to make anyone rich
AND
my $20 is cheaper than a magazine subscription and much more info is gained here

That is why I chose sponsor. Great site.
Good questions. The funds from the donation drive go into a bank to pay all the server fees for the year. The cost of a full dedicated server that we have is quite expensive just for the server. I am pretty good at handling the server backend software but there are a lot of times i have to hire out to proffesionals in their respective areas to keep this place running efficiently and securly. There are lots of sites that can get hacked and have your email stolen or private messages with your personal info such as home addresses. So i take security quite personal because i do not want any of your information going where it dont belong. I upped the donation from 5,000 to 6,000 because our home is going to start getting much busier as this next election gets closer so the server may be needing more upgrades and security measures. Thanks everyone for the donations!
Makes sense to me, thanks for the info. It is one of the reasons I signed up to be a member as soon as I joined. Will make a donation once payday hits .
Thanks for keeping this place up for us all.

Thanks Yall!
I chose to renew my membership: does it all go to the same place, eventually?

In 1984, Orwell added, people are controlled by inflicting pain. In Brave New World, they are controlled by inflicting pleasure. In short, Orwell feared that what we fear will ruin us. Huxley feared that what we desire will ruin us. This book is about the possibility that Huxley, not Orwell, was right.” -N.Postman
all donations go to keeping the site operating.
I love this place and give every year. It sure aint much. And thanks to all the guys and gals that keep er runnin
This is some of the best use of the money I donate to various causes. I get more return for my relatively small donation in the form of hours and hours of pleasure reading and exchanging information on a subject that I love. In addition I have made several good friends because of this meeting place. My heart felt thanks to those who own and keep this place running.

I am trying to renew my sponsor donation. I get put into this endless loop when I try to pay with check, etc.
HELP!

I used this drive as an excuse to go ahead and become a "patron" of the site. As stated earlier in this thread in several ways, I've gotten much more than $20 worth of info from this site, and met a few like-minded folk.
I've found several vendors that I didn't know existed, and (unfortunately) several products I didn't know I needed until I discovered the products.
Come to think, this place just continues to cost me money....
The question I have is how is the relationship between " Cast boolits" who has No1 as owner/CEO and Gunloads who has Gunload Master as CEO/CFO. Can the relationship be explained and does the money fund both sites or just one?
