Help keep LegendCup.com going!

• Firstly, THANK YOU for being interested enough to look here! I am happy and humbled that LegendCup is worth your consideration!
• LegendCup is independently owned and operated by 1 person using mostly FOSS and some pay-for software, along with help from volunteer developers and community contributions, and fueled by fans for the love of this franchise.
• By supporting the site you are helping to keep alive one of the last independent Monster Rancher fan-sites remaining that isn't owned by a corporate entity making money by serving you ads.
• There are NO ADs. In spite of being pestered by several ad agencies to embed advertisements for monetary gain, I refuse to subject people to this! Any links you see for purchasing the games or promotion of Monster Rancher are manually placed, not an ad, tracking, or monetarily driven outlink.
• There is NO locked/pay-wall content on LegendCup, MRM, or other future archives.
  • Instead of locking content behind a pay-wall, Your generous donation helps keep everyone's hard work for LegendCup and other site archives alive for current and future Ranchers!
  • You can donate at any time, any amount, single contribution, subscription, or cancel.

Recurring donations, even small ones, help smooth things out and help me financially plan ahead. Single donations of any size are also very helpful (and welcomed).
You're helping keep an ad-free independent fan-site going and keep the data and apps alive for future players.

A personal huge thanks to the folks listed here.

I may figure out a way to integrate donations from PayPal automatically and directly to the site in the future, but until then, I'll use this Google Docs that I’ll manually update for reference. If you've donated and you don't see your name (If you chose not to be anonymous) just give me time since it is a manual update for now.

Note: Paypal takes roughly 2.9% + $0.50 for each donation.
Smaller donations are more heavily penalized by PayPal's take, but larger donations have less taken out than other places such as Patreon.

• You can donate any amount, Once or as many times as you like!
• Your donation will fund hosting and domain registration fees as the highest priority.
• Excess donations will be kept for future fees, software subscriptions & purchases, or used to fund commissions for coding, art, or other site related assets, or to purchase Monster Rancher titles and related hardware.

• In 1999/2000 what would become LegendCup was started on a free Yahoo Geocities site.
• In 2001 I officially registered LegendCup as a domain and purchased hosting without the pains of forced advertising for a clean website.
• Since that time I have paid for all fees out of pocket, even for things beyond the site (PO box rental, replacement consoles, etc.), and now for archival purposes of MRM, and continued efforts for up to date data on original and new Monster Rancher games on LegendCup.
• Further still, with the Passing of Lisa Shock (Owner of Monster Rancher Metropolis) it was easy to see how quickly a whole community’s effort could be lost.
• Additionally, other fansites like the MRBC website were taken offline due to continued costs.
• Now both sites are archived in a single place, alongside of LegendCup, and I would happily accept any patronage to ease the burden.
