Chip in

One ask, and no mystery about where it goes.

Keeping the wire secure

We have your back. We have your six. Not as a turn of phrase — as the thing this site actually does. A person reads every request to join, by hand, and decides who comes inside the wire. Your handle stays yours. Every photograph loses its location on the way in, whether or not you thought to check.

What you chip in helps keep the enemy outside the wire. The enemy is seldom dramatic: scrapers, accounts fishing for somebody’s real name, the occasional stranger who wants to know where a photograph was taken. They get turned around because a person is checking, not because a form is — and those hours are the biggest thing on the bill.

The rest of the bill is a server, a domain and backups. No investors, nothing here is sold, and member data is not for sale at any price.

To be straight about it: this is not a charitable donation. Daggermen is not a registered charity, you will not get a receipt, and there is no tax credit in it. You would be paying for the lights to stay on and the gate to stay manned.

Opens a secure payment page. Your card details never touch this site, and nothing here renews — this is once, not a subscription.

The payment is handled by an outside company, so they will see your real name and card — we will not, and we send them nothing about your account. Do not put your handle in the payment reference or message. That is the one thing that would tie the name you pay with to the name you post under, and it would sit in somebody else’s records for good.

Unless you tick the box, we keep no record of who chipped in. There is no list of supporters and no amount stored anywhere — the mark is the same whether you put in $2.00 or $1000.00, so there is nothing here to rank anybody by. Your receipt comes from the provider; this site has nothing to show you, because it was never told.

We count how many people chip in, never how much. The amount does not reach this site at all, so it is not ours to send on — and no handle, no name and no account goes with the count either.
