Donations and such.

[SnakeXs]

Alright, long ago you guys asked for it, and I said I'd open it up once the tracker was back, so alas now you can Donate to Metal-Torrents.

The page may be ugly for a little while until a domain is snapped over. All's well and sexy.

I don't wanna make a sob story of this, but the past few months have not been easy. I've sacrificed quite a bit, poured a ton of time and money into getting this running.

So, help from here on would be great. Substantial server moves and upgrades aren't cheap, but will be needed to keeping M-T alive... for more than a year, that is.

So, to whomever feels compelled to help out the greater good, you now can. To those not in a position to do so, or simply don't want to, your help contributing to the site as a community member is just as important.

My thanks to you all.

I know I've done my fair share

[Skanmar]

Hmm PayPal works like a charm for this kinda thing , thing is though as a lot of us don't have a credit card you might wanna consider accepting bank transfers as well .

[Sangrophage]

^ I wanted to suggest that.
I can probably chip in something, if you accept bank transfers, or PayByCash.

[elderpyre]

once I am settled into my new home, you sir, shall have my donation. at the moment though, I'm not willing to trust the unsecured wireless internet I am pilfering.

[Rensje]

I applied for a PayPal account just now, and once I have it all up and running in a couple of days time, you shall have a donation worthy of a man of your dilligence. ^^

Seriously though..

I've been a member of this community for about three years now, and though I wasn't always there this place has been an online home away from home for me for God knows how long.

And after all this time some people are probably still wondering what the fuck I'm doing here, but I've always tried to contribute in my own little way and now that the tracker is finally back and Metal Torrents will be restored to well beyond it's former glory, I can start doing that again in a more direct manner.

Snake, you've done so much for us ever since you started out this thing in.. 2004, I think was, if this is what we can do to repay you for all that hard work, than it's a small, nay insignificant price to pay. Hail.

PaybyCash, rule #3 for signing up as a "Merchant"

Due to the rising popularity of our service, we currently require that new merchant clients be forecasting sales of at least $50,000 USD or the equivalent in your native currency

[Sangrophage]

Sorry. I didn't know, excuse my noob-y-ness.
How about Bank Transfers? Are they the same?

[NaOH]

There's no legitimate reason for not using Paypal these days.

[Phobophile]

You can use a bank account with PayPal.

I just donated 10$. It's not much, but I'm a poor student with not much of an income (yet). Once I get a job, I'll donate some more.

[SearingLight]

Payday = donation.

I said I would in the beginning, and I'm not going to back out of that promise now.

[stormjh]

y can i not l,og in2 the tracker? do i need a new account? or am i just being a complete dumbass?

[demonite]

The tracker membership db is seperate from the forum one for a number of logistical reasons. You need to register on the tracker as an entirely seperate entity.

Now, stop thinking about it and go register

Are you kidding me? Are you fucking kidding me?

[demonite]

Be nice, lol

[stormjh]

o i c. lol.

so i was just being a dumbass.

[demonite]

Anyway, back on topic:

You are assured of my donations.

[SnakeXs]

Be nice, lol 

K, fine, you take care of it. Consider it your new pet.

*storms off*

[demonite]

oOoOo, I just inherited M-T, yay me.

[stormjh]

haha, in my defence tho, does it actualy say i need a seperate acocunt anywhere?

I'm fine with asking questions, but there's a place for it. How you decided a thread about donations was the right place to ask will elude me, for the rest of my days I imagine.

On top of that your grammar and spelling don't help, which I can't hold against you, but my brain will.

[stormjh]

haha, sorry

was 1st thread i saw about tracker being back up.

[Sangrophage]

y can i not l,og in2 the tracker? <-- Epic English win.

[demonite]

Sangro, shut the fuck up. It has been dealt with. Get back on topic.

[elderpyre]

...because resurrecting the dead is occasionally fun, plus many of the people in this thread that said they'd donate also said it there.

If at all possible, I will certainly contribute something if it means less downtime and all that jazz! 

So good of you to bring that up, elderpyre, because I can now finally say that it is done. ^^

This one's on me, Snake.
On all of us. You earned it.

[BawB]

/me puts some moneys in the jar

[Vlac]

BUMP!

Geez, this needs to be bumped once in a while. I hardly use the tracker, and did not see the begging, the pleading, before now.

20$ ain't much these days, but if the rest of the familiar roster chip in as well, I'm sure it would help a great deal.

I'm able to give 20 bucks at least every month or two, so this should be bumped more often. I get cash the 13th, so bumping this in one month would be at a time where I feel richer than I am, and I would donate some again.

Donate, peepz!

[SnakeXs]

Thanks Vlacy poo.

[elderpyre]

I had completely forgot about this thread :X
Bump for epic donations.
Also, donated.

[SnakeXs]

Received and appreciated.

[BawB]

EDIT: Is your name really Bobby Kogos?

[SnakeXs]

To a degree, yes. You can call me whatever you like though, sweet cheeks.

i just saw the october 27th post about the server downtime. would $100 be a hefty amount or is that chump change for such things as moving to a different server yadayada.

[Vlac]

Wow, nice bump, had not seen that post either.
