I know I haven't been around much. Been playing Magic, board games, and other not video-gamey stuff lately as well as working all the goddamn time. Apologies. Makes me feel half-bad asking for donations, but then if I didn't the site wouldn't continue. As such, donate to paypal. Click the button in the upper right or send paypal donatons to: schild@f13.net

Total cost for the sever is $1439.xx. I will be making calls to friends at GoDaddy for coupons. Thanks again, folks.

It's been a year already? :headscratch:

Sep. 21, 2010 09:49:13 PDT according to the paypal confirmation email. Renewal is 9/21 according to GoDaddy. Don't ask me, I didn't pick 365 days as the length of a year.  :awesome_for_real:

Maybe I'll fix the forums URL this time around :awesome_for_real: :oh_i_see:

Get to fixing.

And the out-of-date forum software with the security hole(s)?   :oh_i_see:

Maybe. Something in our hacked up code is breaking the auto upgrade so I would have to figure out out what's breaking the upgrade process or apply all of our changes manually to the latest 1.x version.

Funds wired...been a weird year.

Donated.  Been meaning to the last few times, but couldn't afford it before.

Sent a few bucks.

donated.

We're at dollars over $200, keep it coming please. :)

We are now a hair over $500, keep it coming folks. Thanks to the recent donators.

I think next year I'm going to do this as a Kickstarter campaign with fun little prizes. Like enamel pins or shirts or something.

Don't you have some Persona/Disgaea schwag that I coveted? You just send those over to me, just because.

We can send stuff at the end of the month right?

I have some stuff coming in at that point earmarked.

Haha. Oh man. Yea, totally gonna not send that stuff out.

Yea, end of August is fine. Have about half of september also. But the sooner we get there the better, obviously.

You do realize that we have a thread for that (http://forums.f13.net/index.php?topic=20113.0) now.   :awesome_for_real:

I'll see if I can pony up some cash.  

Edit:  Chipped in $75.  Where's my perks?   :grin:

You get a personal PM and a green ribbon that says "Participation" if you get banned.

What's our running total?

Do we have an updated top post?

$697.05 after Paypal Fees. Fun fact: It took me until this year to realize I could look at payments received after fees were taken out.


Let's just be blunt. Do you see one, monkey?

CAN we have an updated top post?

Ya big shot  :awesome_for_real:

PS - donating in 10 days.

So, true story.

I paid with Paypal last time but can't do so anymore because those are US-centric fuckers who try to tell European webshops they have to boycott Cuba if they want their accounts unfrozen. So I killed my Paypal acount and wrote their trashbin a strongly worded resignation letter.

Any other way to get the money to you?

It's so hilarious we still have Cuba boycotted. It's been, what, 50 years?

Edit: More to the point. I am in starving college student mode, sorry.

We have had ~$90 in donations since the last update. F13 server needs money badly. Keep up the giving, folks.

Maybe I should mention that I have to renew in 3 weeks (9/21).

MORE. PLEASE.

Ask and ye shall receive. :-)

I hope you are proud of yourself that I had to break my boycott of Paypal on your behalf. All those starving Cuban children are your fault now. I wash my hands of it.

Send me a PM next Wednesday as a reminder. I have a memory like a sieve at the moment.

(clink)

Would really like to see the security fixes on the forum, though, and might can help with this if needed.  I have had a site I ran nuked from orbit due to them in the past, and would hate to see that happen here.

How much are you short now?

If we want to keep this server (preferable), $380.xx and change. If we want to spend a few days migrating and such, I think $260 or so more.

Geez, did we start late this year, or are the coffers simply more dry than in previous years?

We got very little over the year combined with poopy coupons.

Edit: To be more precise, last year I think the coupon was 35% or 40% off, maybe a bit more on top of a new server. We're not getting a new server this year because as you can see below above, the difference is $120 or so and time is still worth money. Last year the difference was hundreds of dollars as our old server plan was on their old server structure which was more expensive.

Monkey send you $50.

Me luv you long time.

Are we renting a server or are we colocating one we own?

If the latter is cheaper, I can arrange to acquire a fairly nice one inexpensively if it'll cut the bill down.

Renting.

Well howdy doo, two people just sent a combined $250 in so we're almost there :) We got some other small-ish donations, so we're about $100 out. Thanks everyone!

Hrm, I forgot to put my name on the donation. Welp.

Server is paid for. Special thanks to the fellow who put it over the top! Locking and unstickying!
