Fortunately I was able to make an arrangement that paid for the server and its maintenance costs making any fundraising unnecessary.
Now that the WeirsCAM is upgraded and I have the new server (it'll be working soon) I'm not going to do any more fundraising, which I was never that comfortable with. If the organizers of the ForumFest II want to select another worthy Lakes Region charitable cause this time I'd certainly support it.

I'd like to begin by saying 'thank you Don' for your wonderful comments.
but....What about the Weirs Channel Cam and Snakeeyes, they're both just ordinary video cams (I believe) and I can't imagine they are fairing well in the good old NH winters and they are aging. These are two of my favorite cams and it would be a crime to not have them operating.
There are sooooooo many excellent causes to raise money for in the Lakes Region (I contribute my time (and money) to many of them and love doing it)) and being this is the winni forum, the various features, tools and equipment which keep this site as it is, is a great cause in my opinion. What do you say everyone -- raise money for our web cams !!!???
If not, I have a number of ideas to toss out on the table.
