How are you making money?
We’re not. So far, we’re losing money. We’re academics, not business people.
Can I donate a few dollars to help you out?
Awwww. You’re nice. We like you, and we like your money too.
CrimCon is a non-profit corporation, initially self-funded by its founders. Every little bit helps us keep the server up, so if you’re willing and able to donate, we’d appreciate it. Donations to CrimCon are not tax-deductible at this time.
