Dear Users.

A Forum like this costs money - and effort.

For this reason I would like to call on you to donate some money so that we can continue to exchange ideas. It would also be an acknowledgment of the services.

I asked Paul to set up a PayPal address for Donations. Anyone can donate there.

Be so kind and give a part of yourself for the greater good, please...

Here is the PayPal-Adress:

< forum@zx.team >

Thank you for your Support <3

Greetings
Jens (German ZX-Team)

Happy to donate but I’m not familiar with the German forum and its users so will wait for a local admin to confirm this is legit before doing so.

Sorry for the paranoia!

I know Jens. He is the manager of the ZX-Team gathering each year in Germany. I've been there 2 years. He's a great guy, and plays the saxophone as well.

Hi Lardo,
Actually I don't know what legit means.
But there is no doubt that donations to forum@zx.team will be used for hosting this sinclairzxworld forum only.
The German forum is hosted by a Swiss member of the ZX-Team and has its own PayPal donation address.
To be clear to everyone.
This forum is free to use and will stay free to use.
At the moment I cover the cost for this forum
while Mathias covers the work.
I will try to mix donations in a way that I pay less for the cost and Mathias gets a bit of money for his work.

Thanks Paul (both for clarification and running the site).

Legit is a lazy shortening of legitimate.

Anyway, small donation sent. :D

I'm not sure what might go wrong. Some users were successful sending money. The address seems right. What is the error message that you get?

If you copy the email from the forum it may look like this when you paste it:

‘mailto:forum@zx.team

This won’t work. It needs to be just

forum@zx.team
