Site news: Hosting begun, new funding page, stats

As of March 30th, we are officially hosted by Discourse (with the 50% FOSS discount - thank you Discourse). Hosting options were discussed here.

And, there is a new Finance page at https://plaintextaccounting.org/finance, with a public ledger and donation options. Those who are in a position to help, thanks in advance for your support!

And here's how the first month looked in stats. After the starting flurry, we are ticking over steadily, and ready to grow when needed.

So, just to make it clear, it is the 50$/mo plan, am I wrong?

That's right.

I was and still am anxious about funding and saddling you with a quite an onerous expense.
How are things some nine months later?

Thank you @f-a. Things are fine, but I need to get organised and start some kind of fundraising for PTA work and the forum in particular. I have been recording my payments as reimbursables , to be recovered some day when PTA has funds I hope.

PS For the record I'm quite happy with the hosting choice: Discourse has been an excellent provider, with so far zero problems or required maintenance time, great performance, automatic upgrades, and great peace of mind.
