[[BoyWiki]] is hosted by [[Free Spirits]] and is in danger of being shut down along with all Free Spirits resources due to money problems.
At the end of May/beginning of June,  [[2013]], it came to light that [[Free Spirits]] was over a year behind in paying its hosting costs to its web host. The web host gave the [[FSC]] an ultimatum to either pay its bills on time or they were going to "pull the plug". No response was made by the FSC. An ad hoc committee was put together by Newport News, [[kabouter]], [[Etenne]], and Connor and was later joined by representatives of the various Free Spirits resources along with representatives from the web host.  


We are asking all BoyWiki visitors to think about donating whatever they can to help raise the money needed.  
Starting in mid-June, a fundraiser was held and enough money was raised to pay what was owed and for Free Spirits to continue into 2014. The largest part was donated by participants of the [[Jungsforum]] with the participants of [[BoyChat]] coming in second.

2013 Free Spirits fundraiser

At the end of May/beginning of June, 2013, it came to light that Free Spirits was over a year behind in paying its hosting costs to its web host. The web host gave the FSC an ultimatum to either pay its bills on time or they were going to "pull the plug". No response was made by the FSC. An ad hoc committee was put together by Newport News, kabouter, Etenne, and Connor and was later joined by representatives of the various Free Spirits resources along with representatives from the web host.

Starting in mid-June, a fundraiser was held and enough money was raised to pay what was owed and for Free Spirits to continue into 2014. The largest part was donated by participants of the Jungsforum with the participants of BoyChat coming in second.
