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

[Alzrius]

Piratecat, I just sent you a personal check for $10. It should reach you in a few days. I wish I could have sent more, but at the moment I'm a bit stretched, and I wanted to contribute something before the drive ended. Here's a little bit closer to Platinum!

Dang, some of these prizes make me wish I had money to donate!

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.

Same here. I can pay for my shipping costs, no problem for me there. Oh, and I donated 50$ via Paypal on Thursday last week. Bank transactions from Switzerland cost a fortune so I am somehow stuck with Paypal :/

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.

 

[Piratecat]

Responded, Elocin!

Needed to search for something.
Decided it was finally time to order a 1 year Community Supporter account.
Did that, poked around a bit, discovered drive for server donations
Submitted another $10 to the cause.

Seeing the strength and committment from all the fans makes me so proud. As every little bit adds up to a grand total - let's see if we can't blow past platinum and hit an (unofficial) adamantium level!

I've been lurking and -occasionally- posting here for a while now. The staff are friendly and committed to providing an excellent support community forum, and such things tend to impress (even if I have never actually interacted with them) and gain karma in the right way.

I am looking for some way to contribute to the continued existence and improvement of EN World, however I am somewhat constrained in method. I do not believe in giving out any more information then necessary about myself on the internet and thus am unable to make use of Paypal, and international money orders tend to have exorbitant fees attached to them. I also don't believe in cheques.

Any suggestions on how I may contribute without resorting to horrid money orders?

$25.00 sent by Paypal.

Also in Australia in regards to any possible prises.

 

[Morrus]

I also don't believe in cheques.

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

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?

Given the extreme nature of the constraints upon you, while yet considering the limited number of available methods to achieve your sincere goal of contributing to the further existence of EN World, there is simply no other course than to utilize a horrid, international money order in the full amount of your generosity, less the amount of the exorbitant fees attached to them. In this way you will be fully able to support the site in the manner in which you desire yet EN World will thus alleviate you of the burden of the fees.

Karma preserved.
