New Server Drive - donation and prize thread (Final total: $13,310!)

As linked from this announcement, this is the thread where we'll track donations and prizes. Any questions about our quest for a speedy server? Ask them here!

Donations Received or Pledged: 11/23 update - 375 people, and $13,310!

We've nailed our Platinum Goal. Incredible. We've called an "official" end to the formal drive. We'll still have some checks and donations coming in, of course, so we'll present an official total about two weeks from now. In the mean time, though, we'll be preparing our new servers that you guys have made possible.

We'll start the "everyone who donated!" pdf prize awarding by next week. Because we want to make sure checks are in, we'll start limited pdf / hard copy prize awarding the day after we announce our official total. Any donations who reach me before that date will be included in the prizes. Check post #2 of this thread for more cool prizes.

If you wanted to donate but aren't able to by tomorrow night, I see three options!

- use the money to purchase product from the amazing publishers who donated prizes. Those guys rock.

- donate anyways, even though it's after the cut-off date; we'll still use your money towards servers and hosting.

- use the money to buy Community Supporter memberships, which gives you cool benefits and also goes towards continued hosting and support.

I didn't give to the donation drive last year so I will this year.

$50 dollars is on its way.

And thanks to you and everyone at enworld for the great community you provide here.

Should this thread be made sticky?

I'm assembling a "master ist" of the products I intend to donate, it will be sent to Aslih2o shortly.

I want people to actually read it. :D It's a little known fact that sticky threads get significantly less views than non-sticky threads... but we'll peg it to the top of the forum as needed.

Thanks again for the donations, TB. We'll post details once you have them set.

Three donations so far! Totalling about $100, we're on our way.

I would love to donate, but you are doing it at a lousy part of the year. I have 3 kids to buy Christmas presents for, a birthday (daughter turning 13), and anniversary (my marriages 14th), a 10 day Christmas vacation in Sedona Arizona to fund with as much money as possible, a wedding, the extra expenses of thanksgiving, plus supporting my families various hobbies.
Not to mention presents for brothers, sisters, parents, cousins, nieces, nephews, etc... all between now and December 18th (my drop dead date for the vacation).

For me, fundraising would be far more convenient for me to support in the March to April time frame.

Really happy that a new server is on the horizon and totally cool with helping to fund it. $25 on way as soon as PayPal stops being broken. :)
