I was drunk. But I absolutely stand by my comment (re:waff).
When I was getting by on my student scholarship, I'd have needed that money for noodles and rent."I'm on a salary"
The fuck?
Now I'm lucky enough to have a small amount of regular disposable income, and I like this place.
I get that people are donating to this but why don't they donate to atrocities in Africa? /Facebook
Superb effort thus far. If we'd tried this 10 years ago we'd have been lucky to get a tenner together.
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.
I'm a twit
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.
I'm a twit
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.
Yeah, okay then. Have a tenner.
This better not be used to fund the next Garden Soccer world tour.
Rob the fund and put it towards the company car tax.
Fuck the car, use it to secure our future!
Tenner in. Would put in more but I need money to fund my alchahol addiction.
Interesting that this comes up not long before Baz's stag do.
I have absolutely no money, sorry lads.
Top effort though.
Baz, make a note of that.
He could use it for a life insurance policy so when he gets mauled in Brussels it automatically donates top TTH hosting.Interesting that this comes up not long before Baz's stag do.
What's the target now we've changed from 10 years' hosting?
What does an upgraded vBulletin do that this one doesn't?
Patches and a legal license. Presumably we could be hacked/shut down at any point.
Presumably it would also get things like security updates to deal with bots and the like.
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.
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.
Why £23?
Brought my bank balance to a whole number. lol
I dig that.
Having now contributed, I'm claiming my share in the company. Phonics, mate, you're fired.
We should get some sort of ads along side this really.
I'll do my donation at the weekend.
If you keep it open until after pay day I'll donate another tenner.
I'd disable adds on here if they weren't too annoying.
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
Who donated £70? Also: only £100 off - sheeeeeeesh.
Stick it all on Portugal tomorrow
Wrong month for me. I'll stick in a tenner but will return with more if it runs into my next pay month.
It's some fucking effort to raise that much in a day.
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.
We're paying for baz's playground basically aren't we? Not that I have any issue with that.
Only £100 to go. Ace.
It is a bit worrying whether or not the place actually lasts.
Did we get those business cards yet?
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...
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.
I'm a twit
Involve Raoul
Cheers Taz.
What the fuck?
Whatever is left over we should just invest in lottery tickets. Or in leedsrevolution's business.
Been paid early. Will stick another tenner in tomorrow. If Two Jobs Bouldy can stick in twenty so can I.
Put in £10.
I knew it'd piss you off I put in more.
You and Bouldy.
Francis "4K" Welsh : this forum won't last a year boys. Rinse and repeat for another 4K posts pal..
