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 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?

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.

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.

That is the way schild is really making his money. Selling off people's info to Chinese and Russian (sounds more ominous than just some random people) identity thieves!

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.
