The 4th annual TOL-a-THON is complete!
A special thank you goes out to all of you who donated to the 4th annual TOL-a-THON! We reached our goal and we are now all-set for another calendar year! :up:
We need to raise $3500.00 to keep TOL online for another year. A few years back TheologyOnline grew out of our cheap shared web hosting account and our only choice was to move into a much more expensive dedicated server. Our option to make payment on the new server was to pay monthly, or annually. Making an annual payment saved us about 10%. Yet the even better part of making an annual payment is that we only need to bug our members about helping out once a year instead of every single month. (I hate asking for money)
In mid September we need to make our annual hosting payment or TOL will cease to exist. TheologyOnline is creeping up on it's 15th anniversary so we certainly don't want to fail now.
Therefore we are having our annual two week long telethon, errrrrr... webathon, errrrr... TOL-a-THON!!! The money we raise during the TOL-a-THON will pay our server fee's for an entire year. (and any other expenses we might run into)
So, if you support what TOL stands for, or you just love participating on TOL, or you hate us but love having a forum to battle us on and you want to see theologyonline grow and thrive please consider donating to the 4th annual TOL-a-THON! Donations are accepted in any amount and can be paid securely via credit card or eCheck through our TOL-a-THON donation system.

Another easy way to help....
Besides straight donations the next best way to help TOL raise money during the 2010 TOL-a-Thon would be to renew your yearly TOL subscription during the TOL-a-THON and we will count that towards our fund raising goal!
Also if you are a monthly TOL subscriber and you change to a yearly subscriber during the TOL-a-Thon that will really help us as well. Again we will count that towards our goal.
We will not count monthly subscriptions towards our goal, but we will count yearly subscriptions towards our goal. Basically we want to alter the way we collect money and try to do as much of it as possible every August/September.
If you have any questions about the upcoming TOL-a-THON please don't hesitate to ask your questions in this thread.
Thank you in advance for your support!

TOL-a-THON FAQ...
Question: How long is the TOL-a-THON going to last?
Answer: Two weeks. The TOL-a-THON will run from August 30th until September 13th. (but you can start donating now if you want to)
Question: Should only right-wing Christians donate to the TOL-a-THON?
Answer: Of course not! TOL depends on ALL of you! You don't have to be a right-wing fanatic to help TOL thrive! If you like participating on TOL for the sole purpose of bashing right-wingers then TOL still is a value for you and you should consider donating to the cause.
Question: What if we fall short of our goal? What will happen to the money raised in the TOL-a-THON?
Answer: We will not fall short of our goal!!! But, for whatever reason if we fall short of our goal we will have to make a determination at that point as to what direction and course of action we will take to make ends meet.
Question: Where does the money go that is raised during the TOL-a-THON?
Answer: All the money raised during the TOL-a-THON goes directly to the operating expenses of TOL, the largest operating expense is our yearly dedicated server hosting fee (in fact, that fee alone is about $3,500)
Question: If we reach the goal prior to the end of the TOL-a-THON will we stop the fundraiser early?
Answer: No. This year we are going to keep the fundraiser open until it ends on September 13th regardless of how much money we have raised.
