News:

HLP Donations Page has been reworked for supporting the site.
Please note that the previous "Tiers" are currently not operational (but will be worked on).
You can still cancel any previous re-occurring donations to make new ones which will go to the new Treasurer Admin (Zacam).

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Where's the site where we can make impulsive donations to keep HLP running when ads don't bring in enough? Beats giving money to some random guy anyway :p

That's brilliant. It's like saying "Some people give money to strangers for no reason. Now let's all chip in to buy me a Ferrari, and we can prove this claim true once an for all".

I wonder how high it will go.

The Google ads are bringing in enough, fret not. Besides, even if they didn't, do you really think I - or any of the admins - would let HLP die? Not a chance. :)

Never even crossed my mind. But it did cross my mind that if you were bearing the cost (which I'm glad you're not), some might be inclined to share the burden :)

We appreciate the sentiment. I doubt it'll ever come to that, unless we expand to a ridiculous size somehow and need a massive server.
