Ive set up a monthly subscription as I run Pi-Hole at home.

 

And I thank you for that.

Thanks to the person who bought a Lifetime Subscription today, in NickMac's memory.

Thanks to all of you who made the move and supported Geekzone one way or another, within your means.

I am bumping this discussion, to keep the momentum going. December 2025 was a extremely low revenue month - the lowest ad revenue in decades. This was offset by the generous contributions we received from those who responded to this appeal.

From the first post:

 

I ask you to consider a Geekzone subscription (ads-free Geekzone with monthly, yearly or lifetime options) or donate through our PressPatron page. If you are not in a position to contribute, just allow Geekzone to show ads.

 

Here is for a better 2026.

Apologies! I'm certain I clicked pause on this site before, but I see I was also blocking ads. I found the way to add geekzone.co.nz to a whitelist now, which should be more reliable than pause. For anyone else who would like to and who uses AdBlock, the option is in Customize > Stop blocking adds. Click the red arrow on the right and you can enter the URL.

Thanks @LostBoyNZ - note the URL should be https:, not http:

Ah good point, I've updated my screenshot now. Cheers :)

How can you whitelist on PiHole?

I have added https://www.geekzone.co.nz to the whitelist. 

Thanks

Handsomedan: How does one go from a standard subscription to a lifetime subscription and what's the cost? 

 

The person can contact me and I will cancel the PayPal recurring subscription. I can then PM user details for a $200 deposit and I update the account.

Keeping this alive, as a reminder before the end of the month rolls.

Just subscribed AND added to the whitelist in pihole :-). Geekzone is a daily use site for me and I more than happy to help keep it going!!!

Thank you, to you and everyone else.

I renewed my annual subscription last week and put through a top-up via PressPatron, so hopefully that helps to keep the fans spinning and the electrons moving for a while :-)

Thank you, I saw that!

The reason why I mention the end of the month is because PressPatron closes the month soon and the payment comes a week later.
