Title: f13.net 2008-2009 Server Donation Drive.
Post by: schild on August 04, 2008, 11:34:38 AM
Fundraiser time, Like last year, server payments go towards the 2009 calendar year.

There's still a little money left since a couple people donated at strange times of the year, but I can't be arsed to look it up at the moment. I think server prices have gone down a bit also, I'd have to check. Server costs $1,217.36 but that coupon (25% off) isn't enough. There should be a coupon that's 30% or more between now and October. I'll keep an eye out. Anyway, renewal date is 10/10/08.

Thanks for all the help last year, it was nice to be ad-free (for me also, that shit slows down page loading).

Box in the upper right still works (if you don't see it on your theme, it's in the newsbox on the default f13 theme).

Thanks to those that donated like seconds after this went up. Also, I will post updates when we hit 25%, 50%, 75% and when we're set for the year.

EDIT: AS PER RASIX, I FEEL COMPELLED TO SAY THAT THESE WILL NOT BE USED FOR GROCERIES.

I just wanted to say that the average donation has nearly tripled since last year. Obviously I'm appealing to a better class of criminal. Keep this up and we may have more than a year paid off. During a recession! We rule! Etc. Yay.

I'll gladly kick in but I'm a retard and can't find the box anywhere. Post link please (because I'm a retard with money).

Not sure this'll work.


Haha didn't. Do you not see a news box up top?

You might have to click a tiny arrow under the banner to reveal the user info and newsbox (which is to the right)

Also, we're just over 25% of the way there. Pretty much exactly 2 months left.

I'm keeping an eye out for any codes or specials that will discount more than 25%... I'll be sure to keep you post!

I figure between the interesting talk, tips towards good games, and all the other shit we do around here, I could chip in something...

So I chipped in the exact amount of a new PS3/XB360 game in NJ. I'm so damn cool, hehe.  :why_so_serious:

I just donated a lil bit.  I like the ad-free part.

I just donate using Google Chrome.  I love this browser.  I hope it wasn't lying to me when it noted a secure site.

Huh. I only noticed this thread now.

Not sure if I'll have spare cash this pay. If not, I'll do it next pay.

Got to make sure I can afford my fortnightly upkeep of hookers and blow. Or something.

Still a month to go til server renewal, just over 50% there in one month, so not so bad.

Here ya go, gotta take advantage of the weak dollar. 50 Dollars actually is only 36 Euros. I'll make another donation when McCain is president and I get a Dollar for an Eurocent  :awesome_for_real:

I am hoping to have enough extra cash to drop some here next month. This month I am bleeding cash from every orifice, which isn't quite as lucrative as it sounds.

According to some email I just got, a kind donation has been saved in my name at the West Rand Merchant Bank of Nigeria for the sum of $113 Million USD.

According to Paypal I need $323.95.

I don't know who to trust.

I'm not holding out.  I'll get around to this, I swear!

Also - Nigeria is a whole country!  It's not like some guy or something.  You can trust a whole country!  And PayPal is like your pal.  You can trust your pal!

Fine.

I put enough extra to buy Schild a Dr. Pepper, too.  I want to see photographic evidence that it went to the proper place.  (The drink, that is.  If I can post tomorrow I'll take that as proof the server end of the deal is handled.)
