Dynasty Posted January 25, 2006 Posted January 25, 2006 Friends and Fellow Members, I write to you to ask for your help. As you can see with the graphic below, we only have 12 days left on our server. This means that on February 5th, TxBands.com will be up for renewal on our server. I promise, TxBands.com will NOT go down Alex and I are both prepared to cover the remaining expenses because we love doing this. But $120 dollars is a lot of money, and we would like the community to help us. So far, we have recieved a true $70 dollars ($65.12 after PayPal taxes) in donations from Xenon and Wilson07. The other donations (essentially, money savers; no money donated) have been from people deciding not to get a predictions reward (MrMusic5002 and Rebel) or helping us with mailing fee's for Predictions and Spinner (Tinytim and nnelsonbsn). Alex and I cover the predictions and spinner products out of our own products, as well as software fees (like the program we use to integrate the store into our site). We cover these expenses and do not expect or want to be re-imbursed. However, I feel that it is fair that the community should help with community areas, like the forums. We need about $130.00 (total, so more like $70.00) (because of 2.9% PayPal tax) to cover the $119.40 server fee. (See here -- Crazy Domain Insane Plan) Because I believe in ABSOLUTE financial transparency, any money raised over $130.00 will remain in our paypal account for our community booth at BOA, DCI, WGI, TCGC, and conferences Please talk to mbui about our ideas for the booths. Alex and I were planning to cover the booth fee's and expenses for signs and flyers, but community support would be fantastic! Thank you, everyone that helps us. If you do, please PM me so we can give you credit for the donation! Quote
Dynasty Posted January 25, 2006 Author Posted January 25, 2006 I would also like to thank: Michael Bui (mbui) Daniel Sanchez (Xenon) Michael Gremillion (bariphonium) For earning us a total $10.04 from our online store. Quote

Danpod Posted January 25, 2006 Posted January 25, 2006 I almost confirmed a donation of $61 but I knew that would probably piss you off even more I think the staff is creaming themselves over our little Donation War =) Quote
Dynasty Posted January 25, 2006 Author Posted January 25, 2006 Xenon... Are you going to let Danpod beat you? Danpod... Do you think a $10 margain keeps you safe from Xenon? *Backs away slowly and waits* Quote
Xenon Posted January 25, 2006 Posted January 25, 2006 /me glares at Danpod. Actually Dynasty, I'm hoping that the coupon I've been PMing you about will add to my donation amount. Quote
Danpod Posted January 25, 2006 Posted January 25, 2006 Bring your coopins!!! Quit pushing me! I'm sensitive!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote
Xenon Posted January 25, 2006 Posted January 25, 2006 Dynasty just told me that my $50 off coupon was a piece of crap that only works for NEW Dreamhost registrations. Quote
Dynasty Posted January 25, 2006 Author Posted January 25, 2006 As of 11:08PM on 1/24/06: Danpod > Xenon Quote
Danpod Posted January 25, 2006 Posted January 25, 2006 Hahaha, thanks but Dan Sanchez owns in his own right. Quote
