: While financial transparency can be a great thing for some organizations (government), I don't see a good enough reason to do so here. I have plans for the future which could be negatively impacted if finances were disclosed. There is also the fact that I am lazy and never even kept up with that to begin with.

UOGuide hosting

Hi,

I would like to know what are the specifications to UOGuide. I might be able to provide my web server to host this side also. The only downside would be the server is located in Thailand.

...Vinit

Thank you for the offer, but UOGuide is not looking to relocate servers at this time. Also being in Thailand will slow down the site which is mostly visited by people in North America. - JC the Builder 18:39, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

Financial Transparency

In the interests of financial transparency, I propose that the UOGuide:Shoppe page should be replaced by a page displaying the complete financial statistics of UOGuide, including current balance and to-date incoming and outgoing transactions, to be updated monthly. This data should be itemized and should delineate between advertising revenue, donations, hosting costs, etc.
