Gobalopper Posted October 28, 2002 Share Posted October 28, 2002 I've had a few people approach me in the past about donating money to help pay for some of the cost of keeping the site running but didn't have anything setup at the time. Recently I've been talking to PhaseBurn, the server admin, about that and the problems we've been having with the servers and the choices we have. From that information I've created a "support us" page giving people a way to donate money and an outline our current situation. Basically we need a new server, we already have some of the parts, but don't have enough money to finish it off.If you can help us out it is greatly appreciated but if you can't we won't hold it against you. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gobalopper Posted October 28, 2002 Author Share Posted October 28, 2002 If you want to send any sort of hardware contact PhaseBurn first. He lives in California.$25 isn't the standard amount but its what we decided would be a cutoff for getting some "extras".And to use PayPal you need a credit card.

Acriku Posted October 28, 2002 Share Posted October 28, 2002 How does sending money via mail sound? I am sure I can sneak a couple 10's in there ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ethan Posted October 28, 2002 Share Posted October 28, 2002 well, gob, you could advertise stuff and have pop-ups and those people will help your server. Max Payne HQ does this and there are custom avatars and used to be custom titles. but now the site is overrun with stupid newbies so i have stopped posting there.

DjCiD Posted October 28, 2002 Share Posted October 28, 2002 But who wants a site where you have a million pop-ups to close after reading a new thread? If it takes 25$ or more a month just to keep Fed2k pop up free then I'm down with it... hope you take cheques or money orders my credit card melted ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gobalopper Posted October 29, 2002 Author Share Posted October 29, 2002 No we like keeping things ad free and popups are just wrong.We have gotten a rather large contribution today but I won't say who in case they want to stay anonymous. But it is greatly appreciated as is any donation you can send.If you want to send money orders or other such methods its best to contact PhaseBurn as he will be able to pass along more details.

DjCiD Posted October 29, 2002 Share Posted October 29, 2002 I know it was rather larger but dont worry I didnt rob a bank ;) ;D j/k it wasnt me.just look and see if anyone has a new title beside their name.What if we donate and dont want a custom avatar or title... can we suggest titles for other ppl? I'll send 50$ if you put this beside Navs name[hide]you really thought I was gonna put something here didnt you :P ;D[/hide] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DjCiD Posted October 29, 2002 Share Posted October 29, 2002 That would work except pop up killers sometimes stop pages too not just ads... so why not contribute to keep this site ad free.... well except for Publix we dont mind seeing a Publix plug every now and then ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acriku Posted October 29, 2002 Share Posted October 29, 2002 Damn right Dj :DOk Gob, I can't do PayPal, can't I just send the cash to you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DjCiD Posted October 29, 2002 Share Posted October 29, 2002 nope contact pahseburn for cash, checks, money orders. ;DHere is how you can donate. The easiest method is to use PayPal but you can also contact PhaseBurn directly if you want to send personal checks, money orders, or donate server equipment. If you're sending $10 or more please include a mailing address as we will be sending out thank you cards once the new server is up and operational.
