Title: Donations
Post by: tet on February 10, 2006, 08:19:57 AM
Hey folks.

As some of you might have noticed, I have added a PayPal donations button in the News Box up above.  This server has a very expensive upkeep due to our bandwidth requirements, and the bill is starting to get a bit out of hand for the couple of us who have been pooling our funds for the last 15 months.  Therefore, anything that people could contribute would be very much appreciated and help us keep these boards up and the music flowin for you guys in the long run. 

There is no profit being made with this! 

Every dollar donated is going to be used solely for paying our monthly server bill, which is currently about $90/month.  I don't think we can offer you a tax credit or anything, but know that your money is being used to help spread the music. 

There is no minimum suggested donation, but if you can spare $1, $5, etc..., we'd be forever grateful  :mrgreen:

Thanks,
Dan (for the entire week4paug.net server t34m)

sorry for the cross-post, i'm just not sure if everyone reads the Public Service Announcements section and figured some of you might be interested in this...

and a big thanks to everyone who has donated so far, you know who you are!  (maybe we'll be able to offer you some sort of custom badges if you donate, i'll see if that's feasible)

Ok, consider me a dinosaur, but I have never used pay pal for anything.   :-o  Is it safe?  I would guess yes, since I see others have donated.  Do you have to use a credit card?  Sorry, I am a bit behind the times when it comes to this stuff.  I love this place, It has truly opened my eyes to things I never would have known.  The knowledge on this board never ceases to amaze me and far surpasses my own.  Whenever I have a question about something, the answers are prompt and (mostly :wink:) very helpful.  I want to help however I can. :-D 
Title: Re: Donations
Post by: CRAZYED on February 14, 2006, 01:35:20 PM
Paypal is simple.  Totally safe, just watchout for bogus emails about needing to update your shit / changes with your account need to be made etc.  Paypal will NEVER email asking you for your account information.  If something changes with your account, go to www.paypal.com, login with your normal info and they will prompt you with whatever is going on.

I dont think you NEED a cc to signup (but you may), whenever I send money it goes directly from my bank account, but then again I signed up a long time ago, iirc you can use a cc too if you choose.  There are different payment options, when you send money u just pick where you want the funds to come from weather it be paypal account balance, checking account, credit card......whatever.

Post by: tet on February 15, 2006, 02:05:03 AM
the only thing not safe about Paypal is how easy it makes it to spend lots and lots of money on eBay :-D

follow the advise above and only deal with account information once logged into www.paypal.com yourself (NEVER through email!!) and you should be just fine...  i've been a member there for nearly 6 years now and have never had a single problem with the site.

Post by: tet on March 05, 2006, 03:13:00 AM
Just wanted to thank everyone who has donated thusfar, you have fully paid for a month of week4paug.net's server costs already! 

If anyone else would like to send in money via Paypal or directly to me as cash or money order, it would be much appreciated - we've still got to pay for this server on a monthly basis, so anything you can spare would be put to good use for this community. 

Again, thanks a lot - we didn't expect to pay for an entire month on donations alone in such little time!!  You guys rock!!
Title: Re: Donations
Post by: jedifunk on March 05, 2006, 04:13:35 AM
just curious as its been some time since i priced things out... but it seems like its a bit of an expensive server you guys are renting... $90/month?  perhaps i'm wrong...  in any case thanks for all that you guys do
Title: Re: Donations
Post by: tet on March 05, 2006, 04:34:05 AM
with 180 GB of storage and 1 TB of bandwidth per month, we'd be grateful if you could find us a cheaper alternative.  this is the best deal we've found for that amount of bandwidth...  plus, we need it to be a Debian system.

yeah, they're unfortunately quite an expensive set of specs.  nonetheless, we have been happy to pay for this because this server and these boards stand for what we believe in, which is keeping the music spreading to y'all.   :mrgreen:

we also never expected to have received as much support as we have in the last year+ of operation, in your words of gratitude, your dank uploads, your pithy insights, and especially your overly magnanimous donations.  everybody here is so generous with all of those that we feel obliged to provide you with this awesome service  :-D

Just made my first donation.  I've been given countless hours of entertainment, either from this site, or b/c of this site.  It's not a lot, but I hope it helps.

Still waiting on my IRS issue to settle out, they owe me $.  And they are taking there sweet time getting it back to me. :roll:  Might be able to swing a lil more towards the 'paug, once that all clears up.

Thanks, again.  This site RULES!  :-D :phish:

Thanks cleech74!!

From now on, anyone who donates will have 1 Karma point added for every dollar sent!  It's my way to thank all of the generousity you guys and girls have shown!  Just be sure to add your forums name in the memo field.

If you would like to be credited for passed donations, please just forward me your Paypal receipt with forums name to tethead@mac.com and you'll be good to go ;)

I hate to make these sorts of pleas, but we have not had a single donation in over 3 months now. 

it's real easy to do with Paypal, but if you're not comfortable with that, cash/check/money orders are accepted - just PM me for my address.

thanks guys, your contributions (both fiduciary and literary) are what keep this site going!

(remember, you get 1 karma point per dollar donated!!)

(remember, you get 1 karma point per dollar donated!!)

So does this work in reverse?  Now that I have some karma saved up, can I "cash in my chips"?   :wink:

just wanted to post that my donation was made in the name of undermind. 
I'll donate again In january since it's been too long since I donated.

I think all patriots fans should donate $3 for every point the patriots score in the postseason.
