 DONATORS

As HovText has been around for many years, and there is a "Donate" button, then people might believe that this is a golden goose and that we have earned a lot of money from it, so "why bother giving them even more money". To puncture this belief, then I can assure this is not the case! The total amount of $$$ we have received throughout the years barely covers the electrical bill for the different servers hosting this - and this is perfectly fine also, as we for sure do not do this for the money. We did put on the donate button in 2011.

Just for info - any donations received will be used solely to enhance HovText.

To show all donations HovText has recieved, then they are listed below. As per default I will list only the first name of the donator, as this is nice and generic, but I will ask everyone, if they want their full name or an alias listed here instead:

So as you can see, I will not be quitting my normal day-job anytime soon 🤣

This is hobby... and a hobby costs money 😁
