p It's a big project (to make small sites), and I have a lot of work to do. <b>But I can't do it without your help</b>.
p The technology has become affordable enough where we can provide this creative space without requiring a business plan that involves selling people out to the marketing industry. But it still costs money, especially since server demand is so high right now. And there are some possible surprise costs I haven't figured out yet (bandwidth estimates are difficult). <b>But if NeoCities can get enough donations, NeoCities can survive!</b> Together, we can prevent <a href="http://mashable.com/2009/04/23/geocities-shutdown/" target="_blank">what happened to GeoCities</a> from happening again.

p Our creativity is too important to be commercialized. Help keep this idea alive by donating! $100, $20, $5, a free round of beers at your pub, <a href="http://slideshare.net/kyledrake" target="_blank">speaking invites to conferences</a> so I can spread the word, free server hosting, anything helps. Thank you!
