People are donating and we do appreciate the effort but $5 and $10 donations alone have no chance of moving the progress bar. The $30 donations, while not huge, have been the backbone of RSN from day one.
Not everyone can afford a $30 donation but if you can, those are our mainstay.
Sincere thanks to all.
