Virs Pub CS 1.6

Hey Guys,

I've been covering our shortfall the past few months because our traffic was so low and I didn't have much time to fix it. However now there is no excuse. Server is busy and I've been making fixes and adding features. So for every dollar we are short at the end of this month, I'll shut the server off for an hour. So if we are short $70 we get shutdwon for 70 hours.

I hate to make threats but common now - you all can't keep playing on my dime here! Those who have already donated - I appreciate it! The rest - please donate!

I also just purchased 8GB of RAM for our webserver/database server. We need to cover those costs as well. Extra RAM should help with the spawn lag once installed.

Vir, wouldn't it be easier to just make donations MANDATORY for R status and up.... I mean sure lots of people will complain, but I'll start making $20 donations instead of $10 if you can prove to me that those people complaining were ever planning on making a donation in the first place... I saw in another thread by Unknown I think, we have over 100 regulars/admins. Thats more then enough to cover the expense.

It was a post by Shooty. It stated that if we made small donations, then it would add up and be more than enough to fill the donation bar.

What I'm wondering about is how much we're getting from Moncton and private/not recorded on donation bar donations. I'm not saying that we aren't far off from when we started donation bar, I'm just wondering how much we're really taking in. With all the new expenses that have been put into the server, I'm wondering how much we still need aswell.

Then please give me a way to donate besides paypal and which is possible before the end of the month

Bigbird I'll talk to vir about that tonight when I see him and get back to you.

My understanding is that Bigbird's issue is the 18+ age policy of paypal. Well you need a debit/credit card for paypal to. Assuming you have the later, why dont you just say that you are 18 when you register for the website. I doubt anything bad will come of it... Hell when I was a minor I put in 18+ for just about everything... Purchases, Websites, Porn, etc. LOL

Anyways, just saying its worth a shot. I don't think any of that information gets verified.

You going to start end of july or june? Cause I hate to donate and not get the time lol, but I am

Actually I'm putting my next donation in on the 1st (my payday). Paid the 1st of this month as well, and intend to keep that schedule... So if you could make your decision on oh say the 5th that'd be great.

Much love Vir thx.

Last time i tried fillin 18+ it didnt work, but ill try again, i think it will verify my age with my bank account info so well see

vir's suggestion was to ask your parents if you can use their credit card and paypal account to donate. If this isn't an option let me know and I'll talk to him about another option.

My parents dont have a paypal account and i still owe them money so that wont happen any time soon..
But untill i fix paypal or something i will just try sending money to Master that is the easiest way.
So master if u read this could you give me ur address?

Here we go again. So I realize this post is a week old but I just want to say for those who can set up the auto donation through paypal. I did that a while ago and now I don't even have to think about it. And its true every bit helps and added up it makes a difference. I hardly have time to come near my computer lately but I know that I've spent alot of time on this server and I like to know that it is there when I have a bit of time to get to it. Every month $5 goes on my credit card and the only reason I even notice it is because I get the e-mail from paypal telling me it happened. And trust me I'm as broke as the next guy, currently my back account says $3.43. For anyone with any type of income and a credit card I'm tellin ya...automatic donations is the way to go. You help the server, do your part, and you don't even know it.

This isn't some rinky dink server on some guys old computer in a basement. It's good quality and very well maintained considering this is something Vir does on the side for free!

Well said BigV

well im really late on this topic but oh well. Was thinking that you should think about taking the credits away. That would make it so if people want to keep there status they will HAVE to donate to get the credits to keep it. Hopefully it would be a last resort to do this but if people don't man up and help out then so be it.
