It's been a while since I last updated you guys on the financial status of the project. As you can see the ads are still on the blog, so I'm not where I want to be just yet. Here's a full overview of the expences and income of the project:
Keeping the servers running costs 83 USD every month.
The ads on the blog has generated 145 USD in income.
Fans of the project have donated an astonishing 155 USD. This blows my mind. So once again: Thank you very much for all of your donations.
Summing it all up I'm 207 USD from breaking even. Which is pretty good in my eyes. Again: I do not wish to make money on this, but it would be nice to break even (given the extreme amount of time I've put into this project).
I'm working on a new feature on the site that I will use ads on as well. Maybe that will help generate more money in.

One Million Giraffes: I'll write a new update tomorrow! (written on the 1st of January 2009)
David: Hey, I was curious what happened to all of the giraffes? I mean if you had 800,000+ do you not display them all or what? Cause I can only find it up to page 1000 or so. I was going to surf them from the beginning but the numbers don't add up. (written on the 1st of January 2009)
One Million Giraffes: No giraffes are missing. You're thinking that the project is one million giraffe pictures. Not one million giraffes. If there are 12 giraffes in a picture, that's 12 giraffes. I only need a million giraffes. Not a million pictures of giraffes. (written on the 1st of January 2009)
Aliraff: Ohh great that means that I gave to you 2 raffes instead of one in just one of my pictures!! Also I don't mind ads as long as they help giraffes. (written on the 1st of January 2009)

There are currently seven servers keeping this website going, so unfortunately I have to have these ads here so I won't bankrupt myself on this project. I've written more details about this issue here.
