Indybay's popularity continues to grow and that adds to our bandwidth expenses. In 2006, for example, Indybay consistently served between 100,000 and 150,000 page views each and every day, sometimes far more. The numbers overall continue to increase. Site visitors are currently uploading and downloading thousands of gigabytes of news reports, photos, audio, and video every month.

If you are one of the many who find the coverage on Indybay to be a useful part of your socially conscious life, we ask that you make a small donation of just $20-40. Every little bit you can give will help us maintain this website. If you are a heavy user and visit the site daily or even several times a week, please consider a medium-sized donation of $40-60. If you regularly publish to the newswire, especially posting larger media files, you can help us continue to be a great open-publishing resource by making a more sizable donation of your choice.

Our most recent fundraising drive helped us secure new web hosting. As our expenses are relatively low in comparison with the service that the website provides, we are hoping that we can sustain the website with just two fundraising drives per year in order to minimize intrusions into your use of the site. If enough people donate throughout the year or choose to become "Friends of Indybay" we may not even need to do those two.

Please DONATE NOW! And consider becoming a Friend of Indybay to help us secure our financing into the future.
