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

[Teflon Billy]

Man...some of those prizes just rock!

 

[Sugarmouse]

I can assure you that they exist! I've seen them and everything! ?

Bah! I made my saving throw to disbelieve!

Seriously, though... you've pretty much eliminated every method I can think of. Perhaps you know someone who is willing to use PayPal on your behalf?

I am a lot of pain to people, I admit. *dammit, we need a philosophical/introspective smiley - or maybe even a smirking one*

I will see about doing a money order of sufficient denomination so as to offset the fees. Point taken pennywiz.

My friend works for AMD as a BIOS programmer he gets free processors all the time.

Sorry for going off topic, but god that sounds like a cool job. I build military grade, ruggedized, servers for tactical deployment. I suppose that job sounds cool too now that I think about it, but I still get jealous when I hear about someone else's cool job.

Okay, now to bring this back on topic... I'll go buy some books at the ENWorld store or subscribe to the magazine or something. Those are all morrus-approved methods of supporting the site I believe.

Hum, my CS account is not active yet, so have to answer like this. Couldn't send e-mail "Sorry. The email function has been disabled by the administrator."

I need to talk to Morrus, but I'm sure that if you want to buy a community supporter account and give it away to a friend, if you let me know we can guarantee that this money goes to the server.

Piratecat: Because no one yet confessed to be from EU and willing to use PayPal for me in excange to money to bank account, I purchased 3 more CS accounts. Fell free to use them as prize to donator who doesn't have CS yet. If more information is needed (order number etc.) contact me.

Damn, I didn't read that before now. I'd have done this for you. But it's all well now, I hope.

$20 sent via Paypal. Wish I could donate more... ah, well, I'll try to save up for a CS account later this year.

It didn't occur to me, but it's true that publishers shouldn't pay for shipping costs... I can pay for my own shipping costs if I get a paper book. If that is impractical, I can settle for electronic books only.

I third this.

This goes for me too!

I donated $20 to the cause. I haven't been posting to ENWorld much in the last year, but that's more to do with how busy I've been than with anything else. ENWorld Rocks... and this new server should make it rock even harder!

Looks like it's also time to renew the Community Supporter account too.

Hey Piratecat,
Not sure if you got my email or not but I believe I am able to donate two AMD Opteron Processors to this great site. I will know more about the processors later this week when a friend gets back to me. I am not sure exactly what the speed of them are, but I am sure they are better than what you guys are using now. Let me know if you got my email (sent it to you Saturday sometime) or not and if you could let me know what type of Processors you are looking for I would greatly appreciate it. My friend works for AMD as a BIOS programmer he gets free processors all the time. I will also be donating some cash your way as well, once I get up off my lazy butt.

Let me know.

Kick-ass!
