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

[Vrecknidj]

I said to myself "I ought to send a check" and that was a couple days ago. I come back and look and there are 11 pages of responses and gobs of cash rolling in. Well, I'll get my $20 check in the mail today--I hope it gets there in the next week (we have some really slow service here in rural Michigan).

Thanks again for all the great service ENWorld.

No such thing.

With over 225 people donating, we're now up to $7300, almost at our gold goal!

Reminder: technical discussion (including bandwidth) goes in the tech thread, not here. Thanks!

If one of those moderating this activity will select a random individual that donated cash to the cause, I will write a custom "A Dozen . . . " for that person. This custom PDF will be written after discussions with the randomly selected winner and, when completed, will be released as a free PDF.

I know exactly what I'd pick.

I never post here, but I've been following the site since... well, forever. So $25 is on the way through PayPal. And I think I'll treat myself to a renewed community supporter account for christmas . Keep up the good work!

Best regards,
Anders

To Eric Noah, Piratecat or someone in the server group:

a couple of people has posted in this thread - including me- asking a simple question if there´s any other way to donate beside Paypal or rpgnow.com.
I´m sure that there are others that have the same problem: we really want to help out and donate, but can´t for various reasons.
I find it strange that you wont even comment on this matter.
Is it really that hard to give us some information about this?
(Big thanx to J.B for letting us know that you can´t help out this year with donations.)

Pardon me if I'm missing something obvious, but wasn't this addressed in the original announcement?

If you’d rather pay with a check, you can mail your donation to:

EN World Server Fund
c/o Kevin Kulp
723 Beacon St
Newton, MA 02459

Make the check out to Kevin Kulp, and write “EN World server donation” on the memo line. Include your EN World user name (if any), email address and contact information, and we’ll email you a receipt.

I would imagine that an international money order would work just as well as a check.

god, i want to donate, but i have less than fifty bucks to my name right now, and given gas prices in the san francisco bay area, thats two tanks with which to search for jobs. if i get lucky, then next week, i'll give 20 bucks. maybe nose in on the prizes there =)

 

[Piratecat]

Cheiromancer is absolutely right; if you're international and prefer not to use PayPal, your best solution is an international money order in dollars. You can usually get these at any bank or (at least in the US) at a post office. Mail that to me, and we'll be extremely appreciative. It's a little more work on your part, but I'm not sure that there's a better solution. Asmo and everyone else, I hadn't wanted to say the wrong thing until I was sure of the solution; I apologize for the wait.

Speaking of which, I just got the first four checks in from DaveLozzi, Nifft, LightPhoenix and DSHighlands. We're now at $7,745 - thank you!
