Donate To The Forum

[Baz]

I'm sure everyone knows to some extent that websites cost money. In order to keep The Third Half going someone needs to keep paying for it. At the moment, SvN pays for the domain name and I pay for the hosting.

I've created a GoFundMe page where we can all donate and it will show how much money we have raised. I figured this would be more successful than asking everyone to send me money via Paypal and take my word for it with regards to how much we've saved up to put towards the forum.

Now there are two things that definitely need paying for, which are the hosting and the domain name.

SvN if you let me know how much the total cost of the domain name is, I will add it to the target amount.

The hosting costs £69.98 for two years. The hosting company have said I can pay for more years at once, albeit for no bulk-buy discount. Despite this, I still think it will be worthwhile to get a few years paid off and sorted if possible.

The third thing we could potentially raise money for is a genuine vBulletin license. One member has previously offered to pay for this, but as it is £168.04 I think it's only fair we try to crowd-fund the fee. However, I must stress that this should only be considered once the domain and hosting have been covered.

The page to donate can be found at www.GoFundMe.com/TheThirdHalf (https://www.gofundme.com/thethirdhalf)

I have set the initial target as £518.

This takes into account ten years of hosting, totalling £349.90, and the £168.04 for the license. (The actual total is £517.94)

Would anyone here be happy to donate? 38 people voted in a recent poll, which gives us a rough idea of active members. Obviously not every one of those will be able to donate, and some will give less than others, but even if everyone donated £2 it would at least cover the hosting for another 2 years. I'd say that should be the bare minimum target.

Feel free to discuss this to death before any money gets put in the pot, and equally you're more than welcome to start donating already, but please use this thread to discuss how you hope the future pans out for the forum and how you can help pay for it.

For those who either can't afford to donate, or simply don't want to, don't worry about it.

[Giggles]

Sounds fine in theory. I think though, before anything, we need to decide once and for all if it's worth keeping alive.

[Kikó]

Let's do it.

[Byron]

I'd say so. Yeah it's dwindling but I come here, enjoy reading posts and I can't be arsed to find another forum. I'll chip in some cash for the place.

[Ian]

I'd chip in some.

[Magic]

I'll stick in a tenner. This and Time To Go Massimo are the only worthwhile causes I will donate for.

[Giggles]

Is it anonymous or does the person who set it up see the details entered?

[Waffdon]

I'll pay if taz returns </3

[Baz]

Is it anonymous or does the person who set it up see the details entered?It's as anonymous as you'd like it to be.

On the page it shows a list of donations with a name. Thanks to Kikó for the first donation (£20) and he's put his name in:

http://www.littlemonstersforum.co.uk/images/q/ject00l9.png

That's all anyone can see though. There's no sort of admin control panel where I can see your bank details or real name or whatever.

[Magic]

60k and he donates twenty quid. Tight cunt.

[leedsrevolution]

I will do this when I've got my debit card. Worth every penny. I'm only going to donate a penny. But fucking worthwhile I'd say.

[Kikó]

60k and he donates twenty quid. Tight cunt.

We're not all on engineer wages pal.

[Lewis]

I don't have any money.

Fuck off.

Fuck off.

Fuck you, you scottish haggis eating cunt.

Just cos you've hit puberty and like a shandy now don't mean you can pretend to be something you aint, kilt wearing mother fucker. I could eat you alive :)

[Davgooner]

Less of the e-windmilling, you twat.

[Giggles]

In fairness he's nailed it with waffelz.

[Lewis]

Is he drunk or back on the harder stuff?

[SvN]

10 years of hosting feels a bit extreme. Hosting companies are ten a penny and there's nothing to say that TSO (our current host) will even be around in 10 years (although I do appreciate that they've been around since 2003). We've also got the issue of database size that we discussed over PM, which means we're likely to have to start deleting old threads in about 6 months. I'd much rather we spend the money on hosting that guarantees the availability of older threads but pays for fewer years of hosting. That can either be with TSO or with an alternative, I don't really mind.

What does the forum think?

[Kikó]

Over 10% of the way there in no time.

[Magic]

Salted butter?

[Magic]

Can we update vbulletin?

[Kikó]

I go with a bigger database so Lewis can continue to don people.

That sounds a better idea. 2 years would even be enough but without having to delete anything.

Also, what does upgrading vbulletin do?

[Disco]

This is a good plan, you better not spend it all on crisps Baz.

[Waffdon]

In fairness he's nailed it with waffelz.

I show nothing but love towards your Victim Hating self and this is what I constantly get in return?

You're basically my dad, Franny Giggleswick

[Boydy]

Someone donated £50? Fucking hell.

Well, you know... We've all got to do our bit.

That was probably Luca just testing the website.

Your view should probably take precedence over these issues as you actually know what you're doing. I agree with your views, anyway.

[Disco]

'Two Jobs' Boyd should be making up the difference here.

[Giggles]

What's the difference between an upgraded vBulletin and what we have now?

[Boydy]

'Two Jobs' Boyd should be making up the difference here.

Unfortunately they're both terribly paid.

[Lewis]

The minute he started showing off his old man would sign up to remind him about the roof.

[ItalAussie]

I've pitched in, but it hasn't shown up yet. Is it not instantaneous?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

£50 from Ital? :cab:

[Lewis]

We're never toppling him now.

[ItalAussie]

I care about this place, and I'm on a salary. It makes sense.

[-james-]

£520 will piss in. The remainder can go towards the next piss up.

[igor_balis]

I pay a fiver a month to some shit wrestling podcast's patreon, and piss away most of my money on booze and fags anyway so I have no excuse. Can you put some money aside for VIRAL ADVERTISING, Baz?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Fucking ponces all going anonymous.

[ItalAussie]

I didn't mean to do that, actually. But I wasn't sure if the name part had to be the name associated with my bank account, so I used my proper name. I stuck "ItalAussie" in the comment box, but it didn't show up.

[ItalAussie]

Holy crap. To whoever put in £70: thank you!

[Pepe]

I offered to put some money when we had just moved and you cunts refused so now you can go fuck yourselves.

[Giggles]

"I'm on a salary"

The fuck? :D

[Magic]

You're an absolute cunt, but I'm afraid you're spot on in this case.

TTH social fund. :drool:

[leedsrevolution]

Is he drunk or back on the harder stuff?

I was drunk. But I absolutely stand by my comment (re:waff).

[ItalAussie]

"I'm on a salary"

The fuck? :D

When I was getting by on my student scholarship, I'd have needed that money for noodles and rent.

Now I'm lucky enough to have a small amount of regular disposable income, and I like this place.

[Magic]

:cool:

[Kikó]

I get that people are donating to this but why don't they donate to atrocities in Africa? /Facebook

[Davgooner]

Superb effort thus far. If we'd tried this 10 years ago we'd have been lucky to get a tenner together.

[Baz]

That can either be with TSO or with an alternative, I don't really mind.

What does the forum think?:thbup: There's no saying the hosting has to continue with the current provider (it expires in September) but I'll get back to them regarding the database size. If they don't want to play, I don't mind moving. I just wanted to get the ball rollin with regards to donations because I'm off work at the moment so have a bit of free time.

Thanks to everyone who has donated so far.

[Magic]

Did my measly tenner go through? It's not showing up.

[Baz]

Did my measly tenner go through? It's not showing up.

Yeah. Nice one.

Oh it'll show the forum URL on your bank statement so make sure you don't let your wife see it. :D

[Magic]

She doesn't get to see the bank statements anyway. I'm in absolute control of everything financial.

Apart from her sneaking money out to build a running away fund.

[Henry]

Yeah, okay then. Have a tenner.

This better not be used to fund the next Garden Soccer world tour.

[Giggles]

Rob the fund and put it towards the company car tax.

[Disco]

Fuck the car, use it to secure our future!

[leedsrevolution]

Tenner in. Would put in more but I need money to fund my alchahol addiction.

[Boydy]

Interesting that this comes up not long before Baz's stag do. :sherlock:

[randomlegend]

I have absolutely no money, sorry lads.

Top effort though.

[Davgooner]

Baz, make a note of that.

[Magic]

Interesting that this comes up not long before Baz's stag do. :sherlock:

He could use it for a life insurance policy so when he gets mauled in Brussels it automatically donates top TTH hosting.

[Magic]

What's the target now we've changed from 10 years' hosting?

[Giggles]

What does an upgraded vBulletin do that this one doesn't?

[Magic]

Patches and a legal license. Presumably we could be hacked/shut down at any point.

[Disco]

Presumably it would also get things like security updates to deal with bots and the like.

[phonics]

It would also tie us to their shitty cloud system that goes down all the time and is largely a load of overpriced wank. I looked into it. The only thing that would maybe be worth it is a VB4 license but even then we're sorted at this point. I can't see any additional features out there that we need and our anti-spam bot works fine and can even be doubled in strength if need be.

edit: Btw you're all absolute legends for donating to this. I kept thinking of bringing up Baz' Google AdSense but would get distracted by real life woes.

[Waffdon]

Payday still a week away so couldn't donate as much as I'd have liked to.

Not that it matters with all you dons coming up clutch.

[leedsrevolution]

Why £23?

[Waffdon]

Brought my bank balance to a whole number. lol

[leedsrevolution]

I dig that.

[GS]

Having now contributed, I'm claiming my share in the company. Phonics, mate, you're fired.

[Mike]

edit: Btw you're all absolute legends for donating to this. I kept thinking of bringing up Baz' Google AdSense but would get distracted by real life woes.
We should get some sort of ads along side this really.

I'll do my donation at the weekend.

[Magic]

If you keep it open until after pay day I'll donate another tenner.

[igor_balis]

I'd disable adds on here if they weren't too annoying.

[Raoul Duke]

I feel like this would be better if there were tiered rewards for different levels of donation:

£20 - TTH t-shirt (Lofty picture on the back, TTH logo on front, 100% polyester)

£50 - signed picture of Mahow

£100 - become an Admin

£372,324.67 - Hi Luca

[Waffdon]

Who donated £70? Also: only £100 off - sheeeeeeesh.

Stick it all on Portugal tomorrow

[The Merse]

Wrong month for me. I'll stick in a tenner but will return with more if it runs into my next pay month.

[GS]

It's some fucking effort to raise that much in a day.

[The Merse]

Considering we debate whether the forum is worth it anymore on a weekly basis it really is something.

That 10 year hosting does seem ambitious mind....

[Giggles]

Considering we debate whether the forum is worth it anymore on a weekly basis it really is something.

That 10 year hosting does seem ambitious mind....

Even 5 would be mental. Another year would be a good 'wait and see' number, and I'd have my doubts that it'll even last that long.

[The Merse]

We're paying for baz's playground basically aren't we? Not that I have any issue with that.

[Kikó]

Only £100 to go. Ace.

[Boydy]

It is a bit worrying whether or not the place actually lasts.

Did we get those business cards yet?

[Disco]

Baz is now furiously posting in comment sections across the internet.

Find out how I earned £438 in just one day with this neat trick...

[Baz]

:D

It's good that you've all raised so much so quickly - perhaps a little too quickly because it's still not 100% agreed upon how to invest. I'm waiting for SvN to get back to me, and hopefully he's got some good ideas in regards to the hosting.

As for the vBulletin license, that's not really my area of expertise but I'll look into it further because I wasn't aware of phonics' views on that front.

Worst case scenario is we pay for 12 months hosting and continue as we are for a bit. The money won't go to waste though, don't worry. And I won't spend it on something non-forum, you can trust me on that.

As for the business cards, they were dispatched on Monday so may well be at my parents house by now.

[Magic]

Involve Raoul

[Davgooner]

Cheers Taz.

[Magic]

What the fuck? :D

[Pepe]

Whatever is left over we should just invest in lottery tickets. Or in leedsrevolution's business.

[Magic]

Been paid early. Will stick another tenner in tomorrow. If Two Jobs Bouldy can stick in twenty so can I.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Put in £10.

[Boydy]

Been paid early. Will stick another tenner in tomorrow. If Two Jobs Bouldy can stick in twenty so can I.

:D

I knew it'd piss you off I put in more.

[Giggles]

You and Bouldy.

[leedsrevolution]

Even 5 would be mental. Another year would be a good 'wait and see' number, and I'd have my doubts that it'll even last that long.

Francis "4K" Welsh : this forum won't last a year boys. Rinse and repeat for another 4K posts pal..

[Giggles]

Francis "4K" Welsh : this forum won't last a year boys. Rinse and repeat for another 4K posts pal..

I would highly doubt it. Even hitting the 4k total would be a push.

[Giggles]

I'm kind of honoured I'll be getting the drunken lashing tonight though.

[leedsrevolution]

It's called "e-windmilling" apparently.

[ItalAussie]

I'd say we should put aside enough for five years of hosting. I know it's optimistic, but I think one year is a given, and five years would give us a degree of security.

I'm still on board with ten years, mind. :nodd:

[leedsrevolution]

I would highly doubt it. Even hitting the 4k total would be a push.

I reckon it will take you 7 days to hit it. Maybe even 6.

[GS]

My view would be that we secure the site on software / a server that will completely avoid any issues which led to the Great Migration in the first place. Then we can pay for a few years of hosting so we're pretty much sorted.

[Disco]

Bouldy and Goydy.

[Magic]

Stuck in another tenner. Only £20 off the target now.

[Baz]

We've reached the target I set when creating the page (£518) and I'm not sure if it will let people keep donating beyond that.

Just to keep you updated, there are some doubts over whether the current hosting package is the best for the long term plan for the forum. SvN is looking at alternate solutions so that we can continue without having to delete older content. It'll be more expensive but worth it.

The idea for the license is on hold. If we have money left over to purchase a license, then we'll go ahead with that too. However even if we get the legitimate license we'll stay on version 4 (rather than 5) of the forum software, because it works fine and all the modifications are configured to work with 4.2.2.

[GS]

I'm happy to trust SvN's judgement on the matter. As I mentioned above, the one thing we need to avoid is the cloud flares etc. which led to having to move here in the first place. If we get that plus the ability to save older threads plus hosting for a few years, then we're well set.

[Raoul Duke]

Cloudflare issues was the hosting, not the forum software I'd assume.

[Giggles]

The activity tonight is why no more than year on year is needed.

[ItalAussie]

Is it a question of what's "needed"? If this place goes dark and sits here quietly for a few years, it's not exactly the end of the world. It's not likely we're saving the money to invest in our pensions otherwise.

But this way we have the security of knowing that we don't have to go pan-handling every year or so, if it comes to that.

[randomlegend]

Giggles literally spending his time to come on here to say it's pointless to come on here.

I'm with you, giggles. It's meta commentary.

It's like when I note how much Jimmy sucks and how little I find him funny, and he manages to turn it around as "mokbull complains about the board but continues to post on it, what a nob". Yeah mate, your assholes agape with putrid excrement but its all about the state of the board (SOB, copyright claim on that one)

[Mike]

In all seriousness, I love this place and it's genuinely helped me through some really dark days.

I know I've never been a very good poster and don't interact well, but I really care and I'd go out of my way to help anyone here if I thought I could.

I'll chuck a tenner in when I'm not literally penniless.

Anyway.

[Giggles]

I find myself liking people here less and less as the years have gone on, though not all.
I think in general life just makes us more horrible people.

[Lewis]

Your problem is that you miss being fat.

Your problem is that you miss being fat.

I'm heading that way again which is nice. Losing weight didn't serve the purpose I did it for, so I don't see the need for it. Not intentionally beefing back up bit it's definitely creeping, but eating nice things again is nice.

[leedsrevolution]

Wait? Did Taz donate?

[Pen]

If donations are still accepted, I'd be happy to throw a tenner in too.

[Raoul Duke]

What's the latest news here?

[Magic]

Forgot about this. How was the stag do Baz?

[SvN]

It's on me. Baz has suggested a host and I'm going to move a copy of the forum to it and see how it performs. I just haven't done it yet.

[Magic]

We want our money back.

[Mazuuurk]

This thread is making me want to post more again :)

I'll chip in but I wanna get paid first, so in a few weeks.

[Magic]

Nice to see this is progressing...

[hfswjyr]

I know exactly the type of person you are at work.

[phonics]

Nice to see this is progressing...



Pretty sure SvN already switched us to a new server and you didn't even notice. Git gud son.

[Magic]

I want to see results in graphical format please.

[Spikey M]

You look a cunt on either axis. :(

[bruhnaldo]

Sorry it's not more but I hope it helps.

[Kikó]

That will help Baz get to Majorca.

[SvN]

We haven't moved yet. My current thoughts are that we're in no rush to move, because as soon as we do, we start eating into the fund. We're currently paid up for a while, and we're about halfway to the max database size (at which point we start having to delete threads).

If the consensus is that people want to see their hard earned put to use ASAP then we can move in the next week or so.

[Pepe]

Couldn't we invest the money in, say, sports betting in the meantime?

[SvN]

We can do whatever the people want, it's the boards money.

[Lewis]

Could we pay towards Magic's divorce costs?

[Boydy]

Invest it in promoting this place somehow. We need new blood.

[Kikó]

Boydy is the canyon killer.

Wonder how much those are. Get a game that's on TV and we'd have loads of new members.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

http://sway.ie/pitchsideledadvertising/

Contrast this with Premier League advertising and the difference is astronomical. Prices start at £2,500 at Sunderland’s Stadium of Light, but if you want an LED board facing the TV cameras you will have to pay a whopping £15,000. Then you have the likes of Old Trafford whereby you can’t even purchase advertise space. Of course, when you apply the viewing figures and the extensive global reach – this spend is a bargain – however, for smaller, nationally focused businesses in England, the Football League presents the optimum return on their sponsorship investment. Barriers to entry are much lower with English Football League advertising, as are prices.

[Pepe]

By embracing pitch-side LED advertising at Football League Matches, companies are aligning themselves with fantastic events and experiences and they are doing so for a fraction of the price. Barnsley, a League One team, has already drawn in an attendance of over 10,000 at Oakwell this season. Their pitch-side advertising packages start at a mere £350. Vicarage Road, the home of Championship side Watford, has attracted over 15,000 people in their last two games. Companies can advertise there from £24 per game.

Lets do it.

[Boydy]

£24 a game? Let's just hit a load of championship/league 1/league 2 games then.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

http://sway.ie/english-sports/

Someone register for a consultation.

[Pepe]

It'll be just phonics telling us about market penetration won't it?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

http://www.watfordfc.com/news/article/130902-pitchside-advertising-1031560.aspx

Watford really is that cheap.

You have to pay for the board at £250 plus VAT though but still. I'd be paying for every single game if I was a business owner in Watford.

[TG09]

Invest it in promoting this place somehow. We need new blood.

I can try and advertise here in New Zealand :D

Do you accept Kiwi Dollars also :)

[Spoonsky]

I think that's actually sort of brilliant. Watford supporters here have been sound as well.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

The website address along with the Lofty picture and we'd be fucking massive again.

[Pepe]

We should do Leeds to get more Magics.

[Josh]

You have to remember, and I say this as a Watford fan, Watford is full of mongs and Vicarage Road is a hub for them.

[Bartholomert]

I would help pay for advertising.

Any updates?

[Giggles]

It's all in Brussels.

[Bartholomert]

Yo I'm about to be pretty rich, I'll pledge $1k if y'all match it.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

How else did you think Baz would pay for his wedding?

[Giggles]

Yo I'm about to be pretty rich, I'll pledge $1k if y'all match it.

No point in giving Baz even more.

[Bartholomert]

I dont get the joke and don't feel like scrolling to figure it out.

But I'm down to advertise for the website on League 1/2 panels during the regular season. I think that would be sick.

[Baz]

It's all gone. I honestly have none of your money left. SvN has it.

[Baz]

Mert yes that would be amazing

[Bartholomert]

Yeah I'll be doing the collecting.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

It would be amazing if we paid for a proper advertising board with Lofty's rollercoaster picture and got it in a decent ground.

[John]

If we're going down that road get it at Arsenal so he sees it. Or a billboard in Barrow so all his mates do.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

We'd need a proper Twitter presence for Arsenal to let us put it up pitch side.

[Bartholomert]

If people pledge in sum up to $1k, I will match it and sort out the details.

I'm 100% serious.

[SvN]

Baz transfered me the money a few weeks ago. None of it has been spent yet, as there's literally no point. We're still quite a bit under the limit of the max database size at our current host, and as soon as we move, the money will start being used up. As long as it's alright with Baz, I propose we stay on the current host until we start approaching the 1Gb mark (the max size) which will probably be around the autumn/winter. At that point we'll move to the host, and I'll setup a public spreadsheet that logs how much we're spending and the current balance of the cash.

We can, of course, spend some of the money for other purposes - I'll let the board decide that.

More or less serious than your guarantee to post that 3 pointers video?

I'm going to post it once I get back to the US, I've had no access to a basketball court.

(So more serious)

[Magic]

I'm literally so hard for an advertising board at a lower league game.

[Byron]

Give it a couple of years and Leeds will be in League 2 so we can advertise there.

[SvN]

Just a small update with regards to finances.

We currently have £185 remaining in the kitty. Based on current costs, we're due to run out of money September 2019. This buys us plenty of time, but we should probably think about another drive for funds over the summer/autumn.

[Kikó]

Baz - get the links ready.

What's a reasonable target SVN?

Cue nothing changing until August 31st 2019.

[Baz]

Baz - get the links ready.I’d be happy to sort it all out again, but it seems people have stopped trusting me. :sorry:

[SvN]

Around £300 will cover us until the start of 2022. We got over £500 last time, so that shouldn't be a difficult target.

[ItalAussie]

I'll put in a decent amount again. This is important. :nodd:

[bruhnaldo]

Someone drop a paypal link or a gofundme or whatever

Lord knows I might fuck off in a tizzy in a couple days might as well get these American dollars while you can

[Spikey M]

We accept real currencies too.

That may not work now the pound is akin to 1920’s Berlin, but fuck it.

[Baz]

I think we should avoid a crowdfunding website cos they take a cut. Easier to just PayPal it, although we’d have to trust me.

Can you provide a reference? Say, will John provide one for you?

[bruhnaldo]

I trust Baz with my life, the handsome fucker.

[Kikó]

Are you thinking of a different Baz? 🐸

[Foe]

Can I pay in bitcoin?

:henn0rz:

[Giggles]

I'll pay hard paper cash if I'm paying.

[phonics]

I'll pay hard paper cash if I'm paying.

Send it us in the mail, I'll get it to the right people.

[Giggles]

Send it us in the mail, I'll get it to the right people.

Tell me where and it will be done.

[Pepe]

What happened to the love of technology?

[Spikey M]

Boydy got a job working with it and it became immediately uncool.

[Baz]

You're all on ignore. If you wish to interact, please send a postcard.

Ask Donovan (:cool:) for my address.
