’tis that time of the year again – as every 14 months, Invisible Movement needs your help to cover its hosting costs.

As usual, site’s hosting costs and message board hosting, as they’re not hosted on the same server, yet they’re both resource hogs. Any funds that exceed the required amount will be used for random giveaways,…
