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

[Blue_Kryptonite]

I thought I was going to have to miss this...

...but bad timing of unfortunate circumstances have forced me to empty my savings account, so I want to do something life-affirming and be part of keeping one of the major cornerstones of my day alive.

I'm writing out a check and sending in the $25.00 that was in my checking account before I emptied my savings into it. ENWorld will help keep me sane for the next few days. I was planning to get a community supporter account next commission anyway, and I still will. But its good to be able to donate.

Edit: I'm Sorrow The Man Bear's father... He's also going to donate $25.00 from his account. It'll come in the same envelope.

It's not much but my $10 is on it's way via PayPal.

So when do we get the updated image of the thermometer shattering and spraying us all with tiny shards of glass?

Congratulations and a pat on the back to all! I'm so glad to hear that EN World is going strong and that there are so many people who love this site so much. I'm sure this is because of all the great folks who help keep EN World running smoothly. It's so nice to see people offering their support, whether in a $10 donation, a $1000 donation, donated items, or just kind words!

I think whats wanted more than a photo of the new servers is a webcam showing them in place so people can watch them work.

If they got stolen I wonder how many emails the Police would receive with attached photos.

I sent in via PayPal what meager blood I could squeeze from the stone that is my bank account. I wish it could have been more given how useful this site has been to me over the last couple of years. :\

Well my husband pointed this out to me ((AKA Hey honey! Donate some money!)). As soon as I can rob Peter to pay Paul and then kick Paul in the shin, effectively taking the money back and running, expect to see money coming your way.

I also want to continue being a Supporter to this fine establishment. :-D

Paypal clearance

Hi,

I saw the drive and decided to make my move and finally become a community sponsor and slip a few bucks in towards the server. But I see that the paypal payments I made haven't yet been cleared. I just wanted to make sure that the pledge was included, and that I could soon have access to using the search feature!!

Great job on the site and the drive, can't wait to see this place on a dual processor...

Peace,
Dave

PayPal is still plugging away, Dave! Your contribution isn't part of the total yet (we have about $320 in six e-checks that are still pending), but will be as soon as your bank releases the funds in the next few days. I'll update the total as those checks clear.

Six hours to go until the official finish - woot! As I mentioned up-thread, folks will still be eligible for prizes if they get donations in before Prize Day (the unofficial end) two weeks from now. That'll give all checks a chance to arrive and clear. Right now, any money we get goes straight to faster hardware. Yeeeeesssss.
