Today the payment for 2025-2026 was done. Turned out higher as expected due to inflation and decrease value US$.

We are online for another year and will see if we can keep this up.

The money for another year almost is there. In July 2025 the bill will be paid for the prolongation of the subscription for IUOMA on NING for 2025-2026.

Thank you for the reminder to support the site with donations. At the moment in the US, there are so many organizations that are struggling with the reduction or elimination of funding. I want to support them all, but it’s impossible. You have created such a great community and resource here. A true labor of love. I just donated because without art the world becomes a place of only conflict and survival. Art enriches all lives. Thank you for all your hard work.

As some of you may have noticed, I needed to stop the www.iuoma.org domain name and also the e-mail addresses connected to that.  The original prive was ok, but since Yahoo quite and new organisations in the USA took over, the payment each month was getting too much.

This NING network also is expensive becaiuse of the high volume of data and activities.  Somehow each year we manage to keep it alive. Also thanks to the lovely donations I get from members. That way this network stays free for all users and has no advertisings whatsoever.

Seems like the next year will be ok, we are almost there. Bills come always end of June for the next year.

two donation already arrived after my message. That is a good reaction and helps a lot.

Lets keep this alive so every IUOMA member can use the platform for free without us having any advertising here.

Ruud, I will make a donation to support the site. Thank you for your work

Soon I will have to remove some non mail-art related groups on this platform because we are reaching a dangerous quantity of data. Would mean the hosting costs would triple. Can't afford that.  Also donations are slow this year. Must be something with the crisis that is taking place worldwide. A few more donations would be welcome to help continuing this IUOMA network on NING.  In July the next payment for 2025-2026 is due and the funds are not there yet.

Some IUOMA members post a lot of non mail-art related images.  That would be wonderful on Facebook and other social Media, but the IUOMA network is based on Mail-Art. So please keep that in focus. The lareger the database gets, the more expensive the hosting.  Groups that are no longer needed or used eventually will get deleted to save space and money.  The http://www.archive.org  Internet Archive does store all that is published too because this is a large database. So you can view history there too!
