No Fact Zone fundraising drive – Please support our site!
By
Jen from DrakNet and I (okay, mostly Jen) have been working this morning on a way to get the site on a new server, and get it up and running. She’s worked with a company called LiquidWeb to get our site on a new dedicated server. What this means is that we have a box all to ourselves, and she can configure it to handle our hefty server load, and we will have room to grow.
Please remember – our site is 100% volunteer. We continue to make this a true labor of love, and none of the staff are paid with the money that we are raising. The money raised is going straight to our server provider, to make sure that our server costs are covered. Without these funds, we will be seriously struggling to keep this site afloat. DrakNet has volunteered to pay for the server each month regardless of what Zoners kick in; however, this $139 a month server fee that they are giving us at cost will be coming out of the budget for DrakNet’s donated non-profit hosting program, as well as their Kiva Loans program which will lessen the money available to struggling non profits that host with them, and third world entrepreneurs that have been the recipient of their loans in the past.
To donate, go to the handy-dandy buttons in our sidebar and click away! And please comment here to let everyone know that you support our site.
Thank you all for your generosity and kindness. Seriously. This site would be no fun without the community that we’ve built here.

As I said before, avidly love the site and appreciate all that the volunteers do for it. It’s a classy product. I had no problem being one of the first to donate toward the fun raising drive.

DB,
Thanks for giving us so many options to help support NFZ. Most of all, thanks for all the time & energy you , Jen from DrakNet, & all the staffers put into making this such an awesome, friendly site to visit.
I can’t remember who made the comparison to the end of “It’s a Wonderful Life,” but I agree.

Monthly subscription clicked, hands wiped on pants. Do I get a cookie or something? The blood bank gives me a cookie.
In lieu of cookie continued awesomeness will suffice.

I don’t blame ya. That there is one of the most smokin’ pieces of eye candy I’ve come across. But trust me, it was well deserved. :)

I love that picture! Smokin’ indeed!

It’s getting hot in here! Wow, thanks verbaltypo! Just so you know, I signed up for the monthly subscription before seeing the eye candy;)

I too made my donation before I saw the pretty Eye Candy…
Thanks to DB and everyone at NFZ for enabling our Colbert-based addictions! :) Unfortunately, I can’t donate much right now, but it’s the (very) least I could do for such an awesome website…

Just made a donation. As SPT said, just holler should you need an extra boost.
Thank you DB, Jen (send Jacob my regards!), and all the Completists for giving of your time, energy and funds to make No Fact Zone the comfortable, welcoming community we know *and* Stephen knows. ;D
ZONERS ROCK, uh huh!

Done and done. Tweeted it to the rooftops, too. Thank you DB, all the Completists, and Jen for giving us this great place to laugh and obsess over Stephen.
Zoners rock!

I’ve signed up for a subscription as well. You guys run a fantastic website. I believe it would be an enormous loss to the online Colbert Nation community if you guys were no longer here.
