Trying to donate.

Ku-sama · 05-12-2008, 01:48 AM

I gets declined every time

shimric · 05-12-2008, 02:01 AM

Get some money you poor bastard!

I just donated 10 bucks(didn't get denied). It better show soon! I'll SUE.

p.s this thread must be pretty embarrassing right about now.

PHOENIX · 05-12-2008, 02:05 AM

i'm sure with the site upgrade that there are probably a million little little kinks to get worked out. I would hold off for a day or 2.

shimric · 05-12-2008, 02:06 AM

xxx@yyy.zzz

What kinda email address is that?

Bugs indeed. Never the less. I donated.

2restomod · 05-12-2008, 06:16 PM

^Same here. I expected bells and whistles. Instead I got "0 goal met". Guess I should have given more so the bar would have at least MOVED?

MR2Board · 05-12-2008, 07:37 PM

We just installed a new donation system and have not configured it yet. We are still trying to port donations over from the previous system before enabling the new one.

MR2Board · 05-14-2008, 11:29 PM

It's up and operational now. We are still working on porting the old names to the new list. Use the liink in the top-lower navbar, not the top-top one.

mr2magic · 05-15-2008, 03:48 AM

And there I was wondering if I'd just been phished as Shimric said this:
xxx@yyy.zzz

didn't do much to alleviate my concern

I understand that a new system has kinks and bugs but get my name up there soon!! I've already pwned everyone in the folding group now I want to pwn everyone in the donations group

monopolizedinc · 05-17-2008, 02:05 AM

ya man im a Doner too and its not up lol

mr2magic · 05-22-2008, 05:38 AM

BUMP!

How are the donations coming along? Shimric, monopolizedinc and myself are still not listed :O(

Gairloch · 05-23-2008, 03:51 AM

With all the upgrades that were just done to the board I'm sure there's a whole laundry list of stuff the admins have to address.

surfer8 · 05-23-2008, 03:12 PM

I donated on 5/19/08 and it listed me as a guest. Not being entirely altruistic I was sort of disappointed. However the progress bar moved forward $20 so I know it went to the right place.

MR2SW22 · 05-28-2008, 02:49 PM

i think everyone should donate $2

Gairloch · 05-30-2008, 05:03 AM

I WANT MY $2!!

2restomod · 06-15-2008, 12:07 AM

Instead of setting a goal of $200, then meeting it, then deleting it, then starting another new goal of $200 starting at $0, why don't you just set a goal of $400? Or whatever it is you're trying to raise?

Ku-sama · 06-15-2008, 12:10 PM

because it resets every month. the goal is to raise $200 every month to support the board

Correct. Our monthly hosting and support costs are approximately $165, depending on bandwidth usage. The additional is put toward a new server we purchased this year and new hard drives that still need to be purchased. We use server class hardware (HP DL380) and the drives will be approximately $800-1000. The donation rates have been much better with the $200 monthly goals versus a $2000+ yearly goal.

2restomod · 06-16-2008, 02:45 AM

^&^^ Thanks. That seems like a worthwhile goal.

Are the harddrive SCSI or SATA? if they are of the SATA type, you can get a SAS (SATA Attached SCSI) Which allows you to use a 15000 RPM HDD. Fujitsu has 300GB SAS drived for about $450 on Newegg.
Newegg.com - Fujitsu MBA3300RC 300GB 15000 RPM 16MB Cache Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) Hard Drive - Internal Hard Drives

I'd recommend getting 4 of them for RAID 0+1.
