Hey Solluk,
The projected price cost has been updated - We were as a site able to shrink our cost to meet what funds we had left in the site's budget.
The paid software is more specifically the chatbox, but as of now that's not a critical thing.
Currently the site is prepaid for the year- Until mid-June 2018. We are currently around 11 bucks short of being ready for the next year.
Any donations besides that can be used for some upgrades to the server- for example, an SSL certificate or a dedicated IP, which would make our site more reliable, more secure, and better for our search rank in google.
Other donations and updates could include the shoutbox, but as of now the major problems are getting the site back to where it was.
As always, any donations help.
