Donations for New Server : JS

So my current server's hard drive is mostly full and I may just put in a larger hard drive, but I'm also planning on buying a new server for the sites that I host for free, to separate them from the sites that I charge for hosting. I am looking for donations for this. I'm trying to raise $500 total and I'll be matching all the funds with my own money.

You can donate through paypal to this email address:

eecue@eecue.com

Thanks!

Re: Donations for New Server : JS

Re: Donations for New Server : JS

so yeah i could use some more if you guys want to help out, almost have enough for the server.

Re: Donations for New Server : JS

Hey Dave, where we at? I deff got somethin on it.

Re: Donations for New Server : JS

Yea wheres everyones "ins" We all use this site a lot and its kinda free promotion for a lot of you. I'm sure you can get 5 on it!

Re: Donations for New Server : JS

there you go. hope you can get enough..

Re: Donations for New Server : JS

how much more you need?

Re: Donations for New Server : JS

lol dude looks like that payment went through twice on my end...my loss is your gain lol

I want a green star next to my name now

Re: Donations for New Server : JS

hey thanks guys, we're doing really good. i've been pooling money from both your donations and some advertising that folks are doing on js as well as my own money and we have over $1000 right now for the server. I look around and I'm trying to choose between a dell and a generic server, but both are looking like they're going to run about $1600, so keep the money coming in.

Every bit helps.

Thanks!

Re: Donations for New Server : JS

Hey Dave, is it too late to donate?
Can't donate till the begining of next week.

VIVA EL JUNGLESCENE!!

Re: Donations for New Server : JS

nope I still need about $400 more to afford the super dope server i'm going to move the site over to... I'll probably end up buying the server next week so whatever folks want to donate will help.

Re: Donations for New Server : JS

Just sent $10

Re: Donations for New Server : JS

thought you needed 500.. what you getting now ??
:D cant wait to see it

Re: Donations for New Server : JS

I decided to get a dell instead of a generic server. mostly because the support and hardware is better.

Re: Donations for New Server : JS

Ok so I just set up the ideal server on dell.com and the total cost including shipping is:

$1,992.79

I'll probably just end up paying the rest of it out of pocket, but more donations wold be nice!

Re: Donations for New Server : JS

the total that has been donated so far:

$262.71

[the rest of the money is from advertising and hosting feeds]

Re: Donations for New Server : JS

Re: Donations for New Server : JS

Re: Donations for New Server : JS

i'm going to buy the server monday evening...

Looks like I'll be throwing in about $600 of my own cash, no worries though, it will benefit the community.

=]

-dave

Re: Donations for New Server : JS

I sent a little cash...hopefully you want have to pay so much out ya pocket!

Thanks EeK

Re: Donations for New Server : JS

thanks!

no big deal if i do have to pay out of pocket.

=]

Re: Donations for New Server : JS

Are you gonna pay $1000.00 for something that'll be worth about $50.00 in 6 months? or will the hardware retain value? just curious

Re: Donations for New Server : JS

the server will be useful for at least 3 or 4 years i would say. but no computer hardware retains its value.

Re: Donations for New Server : JS

so yeah folks i'm going to be purchasing it today. any last minute donations?

thanks!

-dave

Re: Donations for New Server : JS

lost my atm card hit me up in person i got cash

Re: Donations for New Server : JS

dinero sent
long live JS!

Re: Donations for New Server : JS

I really find it f**kin sad, that as many people have used this site for countless amounts of free publicity and promotions and have probably achieved a large part of their success by posting events, photos, mixes, etc...here and being a part of the SoCal DnB community, have failed to step up and dig (even shallowly) into their pockets to help someone who has helped us all so much.

Dave...to illustrate my point, approx how many uniques are you doing per day vs # of repeat visitors vs # of posts per day? I would wager that if the total # of regulars gave $2-$5 out of their pockets (instead of buying that pint or shot or joint or snot rag or whatever...), that you wouldn't have had to come out of pocket @ all....

Hell even right now as I post this, there are 25 people signed in, @ $5, that's $125 in one swoop....$262.71 is f**kin sad folks....not saying you shouldn't pay your bills or anything like that....but PLENTY of you spend way more money on BS that is of less importance than the place we call home....

Bet you guys would have a s**t fit if JS started charging monthly membership dues, right?

Re: Donations for New Server : JS

Eecue should post up how much people donate like he did before. That way people get competitive with one another and vie for the glory of largest donation, etc Nobody wants to donate because they're not getting credit (sad)
