The eagle-eyed among you will have noticed the little “Donate!” Ko-Fi button floating in the lower right-hand corner. Yeah, it’s taken a while but I finally have to admit that after amassing (and continuing to amass) this collection, the costs of maintaining it – storing, housing, preserving, not to mention digitizing and keeping this website online, are getting higher and higher. I did have a go at running ads a long time ago, but that left a bad taste in my mouth just generally, and the ads that got presented were wildly inappropriate.
Don’t worry, the site isn’t going anywhere… in the grand scheme of modern problems, this barely registers. However, if you would like to help me keep Robin’s legacy alive, and have some spare change to throw my way, you’ll have my everlasting thanks. Odds are it’ll go to buy me a coffee to keep me awake as I try to figure how to fix the whatever the latest site software update has broken… but if there’s enough it might end up going to acid-free storage boxes and mylar sleeves these magazines from Thailand and all those photos from England…
Either way… for every $20 we raise, I will immediately drop everything and post a new item. It’s hard to find the time nowadays to devote to sharing all the new stuff that keeps turning up, but for $20 I’ll MAKE the time.
If you’re in any sort of financial straits yourself, though, absolutely do not donate anything. Your own well-being is far more important than this bit of frivolity.
This Ko-Fi thing also comes with its own page, where I’m slowly reposting the items from here. It’ll take a long time to catch up, but who knows, you may find it more visually attractive or easier to navigate.
