Hey guys! :uni:

Your donations have once again met the estimated server’s fees, Thank you for making the thing run!

I’ll unpin the topic, as usual, to pin it again next year.

Meanwhile, enjoy the forum, unicycling (try not to populate this topic), and life overall :hugs:

I’m a bit late… One more year! :stuck_out_tongue:

Estimated costs have decreased by about 25% thanks to switching the CDN service from Stackpath to Bunny. :v:

Thank you as always for helping this forum live :slight_smile: :uni:

I’ve changed the backups hosting provider (from Amazon S3 to Google Drive) and decreased the associated fees by about 30$. :ok_hand:

Happy New Year! :partying_face:f-pulse:

Fees haven’t changed this year. I’ve added a dynamic progress bar on the top left of the forum. It’s automatically updated when a payment is sent through Ko-fi.
It will be shown until the donations reach the fees, so I won’t pin this topic like I usually do.

The progress bar is custom work, there may be bugs so send me a message if anything seems off (messing with the forum layout on certain devices for example).

Also, I’ve changed the fees starting month from September to January, which makes things easier for me (I rolled the slight donation surplus into these 5 months).

Happy unicycling!

I’ve manually tweaked the current donation progress value because I forgot both taxes and dollar to euro conversion value, which reduces amounts received by 15% in average (total), so the displayed value has decreased a bit. I’ve updated my script to take this into account.

Also, the fees listed in the first post of this topic were listed in $, whereas they should have been listed in €, I’ve fixed this as well.
