In January earlier this year, PG management had set a target of 820$ to be collected in 2013 as donations to meet minimum running expense of the forum. Apparently, its very thin amount if everybody benefiting from PG by one way or the other could contribute a very little amount out of his pocket.

It is however a matter of grave concern that PG has so far gathered only 10% of its target although first half of the year is over. It is really a matter of concern that 64,000 members have contributed only 82USD in 6 months. I am also one amongst those doing nothing for the continuity of the forum.

I believe that we may not overburden the PG management. Its high time to stand up and contribute something for the betterment of Pakgamers. Obviously, there is no compulsion and no minimum amount restriction. If only few percent of total membership could come forward, the remaining 90% target meant for current year can be achieved in just few days. You guys can visit following page to make yourself familiar with procedure of contribution :

I would also request PG admn to replicate this thread in all marketplace sections because majority of PG members do not visit chitchat cafe OR feedback sections but they only remain concerned with selling and buying.

As much as you support the PG, I hope PG management will make it more better place for all gamers. Lets think and do something positive for the forum.

Damn right, this forum lives on expenses. Expenses need to covered annually. And PG is indeed in need of serious financial support.

Unfortunately, I am a student with no current means of earning money, even though I want to.I have a freelancer account made, but am unaware of how to use it or other ways I can earn. If any PG Veteran can help me out, I'll be sure to donate to PG! But until then, I can't. :p

I was hoping there must be a systematic way of collecting donations. Transferring money through banks is a cumbersome process and very few people would prefer this method. Add to the fact most people don't even earn yet!

PG meetups is a good place to collect donations.

Inshallah. Lets spread the message. Obviously everybody cannot contribute but those who can do it easily should come forwarad without waiting further to meet the target. You know PG management has added more options to facilitate the process. Visit following page to know how to contribute :

Or we can just volunteer as a PICK UP person and pick money from people who don't wanna go to a bank.
Give the money to some PG nominated person and he will deposit the amount in PG account.

Sir with all due respect, let me explain that target of the PG managment is USD820 for the year 2013 which is equal to PKR 82000. Honestly speaking, I need more than 82K in a year to maintain my one personal computer. I have no idea how much computers, servers and other equipment is required to run a forum beside licensing and regulatory obligations. I as a layman believe that 82K will be 1/4 of the total expenditure.

again, dont get me wrong, but you maintaining your home pc and maintaining a server are totally different things. i know the pricing of vbulletin, and i know the pricing of servers PG is running on (know this coz i was developing for PG for sometime)
