Now Accepting Donations for the Forum Upgrade Options

[Coomer]

UPDATE:More than enough money was raised, so please, please, don't send any more money!

These forums and the site really need upgrading, and I'd like to be able to do this soon. The upgrade/site-recoding will probably require about 30 hours of work by me, so I'd probably sleep here at my office(where my internet access is actually reliable and fast) and work from Friday night until Sunday to get the upgrade done in a weekend. Once completed, the forums would be far, far better, with more features, more speed, a search function that works right, etc. The site would also have various improvements, mostly underlying database stuff that has to be done to accomodate the upgraded forums.

Unfortunately, a full lifetime license for Invision Board, the site's forum software, and the included support for it, costs $200. I can't afford to pay for the entire $200 license by myself because I'm over $1,000 in debt, so I was hoping that you guys could help out if you want to.

So if you want, feel free to send a donation via Paypal to webmaster@6gc.net, which is my Paypal email address. Any amount sent will be greatly appreciated, but please don't feel obligated to do this. It's only if you want to.

Once $200 is raised, I'll purchase the software license, and then the next weekend that I don't go out of town, I'll upgrade the site and the forums over the weekend.

So I'll start with $25 towards the cause. If you wish to make a donation, feel free to send some money via Paypal and then copy the bold text below and add your name and the amount to the list, and update the total if the math isn't too hard for ya.

Once $200 is raised, I don't want anyone sending any more money, so that's the reason for this list.

Thanks so much guys!

Thanks so much guys!

Celicarocker, once the $200 is reached, the upgrade will probably be the next weekend or the one after. And yes, the site will be down for the weekend. Hopefully a big AIM chat can be sustained for the weekend or something though.

Hey guys.
I signed up for a pay pal to pay Coomer the difference. So here i am thinking "yea they'll appreciate this"
The damn pay pal doesnt accept my type of debt card (maestro/cirrus), you got any other way that i could pay you. I live in aus so that makes it fun.

Oh yea, and hey everybody im new here

Thanks so much everyone!

On Friday morning I'll purchase the license for the software, and hopefully I can spend this weekend working on the site. There's a small chance that I may be going out of town, but I don't think that'll happen this weekend.

No no no! You guys need to stop sending money!

There's more than enough now to cover the forum software license. Thank you all very, very much, but please don't send any more money.

Coomer, I think you sould let people keep donating a little, if your gana be stuck behind a computer screen for a whole weekend working on this site, you sould be getting money on the side.

I understand why you dont wana get money from us, you probibly feel guilty about it, If thats the case, just take any extra money you get (after the hookers, and late nite pizzas) and drop it into your car, that way it would be like us sponsering your car, You could have the official 6GC.net project car. That way when you enter it in a show, etc. it would make this site bigger and more popular then ever.

[Supersprynt]

or just keep it open so that if something comes up with the site/server etc. and requires funds you dont have to ask again?
