Donations link is broken

Longtime lurker.
Guessing you guys wouldn't mind getting a little cash,
but getting 404 on the donations link (can't post it).
(yes, I can do Paypal)

Re: Donations link is broken

Hi AAAfarmclub,
and thank you so much for your wish to contribute to BL's running costs.

Right now donations are disabled. The recent tightening up of internet regulations, especially in the EU, means we have to think very hard about our legal situation. Until we can be confident that there is no chance BunsenLabs might be regarded as a profit-making organization, we have decided to switch off donations and run on our savings for the time being.

If that situation changes in the future we will make an announcement, and thanks again!

Where did you find that donation link? There should not be any left on bunsenlabs.org...

Wow.This may be the first donation I've tried to give that couldn't be accepted.
Anyway, thanks for the update. I'll try not to spend the 'excess cash'.

Ignore that, that's feeding into the PayPal account and is causing problems. Just don't donate yet. @johnraff will get us there. Thanks for all the support.


I don't care what you do at home. Would you care to explain?

It is good if information is correct and uptodate. The page https://www.bunsenlabs.org/donations.html, and link to it on the frontpage, was unpublished in spring. Thanks to @AAAfarmer posting report of broken link, I became aware of the anouncment thread, so I could make a note that "Right now donations are disabled."

^ Thanks for that. My eviction and subsequent homelessness didn't help BL at all. I'm on my feet again, hopefully time will get everything sorted properly.
