My one opportunity and I miss it because I was getting my wisdom teeth out. FFS, Slugs.

30 donors so far. Just overwhelming.
I need to figure out what to do with our "slush fund" so that I'm not the only one with eyes on it and access to it. I mean, I guess you guys trust me, but what if I get hit by a bus?? (I mean besides the random celebrations).
The asterisk part: Our initial hosting is moma's swag at what we'll need. We have the capital to pivot/upgrade if necessary. And even (I haven't discussed this with moma yet) plunk down for some jobber programmers to help with the setup if necessary (there's all kind of PHPBB nerds out there willing to help out for a buck). Not that I think it will be necessary, but just in case.
But I would want to make sure that the becomes a collective. I mean sure, we'll need mods to keep the riff-raff out, but something that could continue unabated (if warranted) by simply handing the reins over to a new generation.
Anyhow, like 99.4% of the thanks goes to moma. All I'm doing is counting the money. I got scalp deep in day job work last night, so I couldn't record donations as they flowed in, but I was able to reconcile this morning, and everything in my paypal and venmo accounts matches exactly with the contributions I recorded (after a bit of hunting for the one I missed!).
Maybe on the new board there will be a way to set up a 'private' treasury board where only donors can access, and we can be fully transparent with the budget...
