Well my web hosting bill is coming up next month, and I figured that since I'm hosting ForumsX, some of you might like to contribute to help me pay for it.
It costs me about $120 US per year for the hosting. Minimum donation is $0.50 US.
Quick Donation FAQ:
Q: If I don't donate, will the site go down?
A: Nope, I still intend to pay for the hosting.
Q: So if the site's not going down, why should I bother paying.
A: I dunno. Maybe it'll give you a nice warm fuzzy feeling.
Q: How do I know you won't just blow this money on Porn?
A: Because all donations made through that little button deally go directly toward my bill. Of course the Money I don't have to pay may go toward that, but don't worry, your money will go toward the site.

How about we just get rid of the forums and get a porn subscription going for all the current members? Machead included because if/when he starts posting again we may want to leave him a nice suprise.

24 bucks coming your way... money that i was given by veegee and ultra and everyone bout a year ago in that war3.com paypal account we had set up... the rest had been spent on the domain, and some other crap... ill get around to donating atleast 20 bucks of my money too once the transfer from my bank account clears... if you have a substaintial amount to pay for the server, just IM me, and ill gladly go halfsies on it... i dont want ya paying like 100 bucks out of your own pocket if donations are slim, yo.
ultra, this means you gotta spring for cash too, bitch! im looking at you, cuz canadians are wealthy, damnit!

Mad props to dimitri for his donation! Thanks muchly!

Chaotica you could always just sign up for paypal...
edit: The above was written before dimitri posted...
Also dimitri, don't go and give me all your money, you'll still have to pay to renew the domain later this spring, which I think was about $10.

My contribution will be picking up the tab on the flagshipx.net domain name. Once caj gets me the necessary info or something. Im not sure if im paying for anything else on this site... its a grand mystery hidden in the scheme of the universe.

I couldn't tell you. If you signed up with a credit card, odds are they'll just automatically re-bill it when the time comes.

So whatever happened to the idea to go pron? its there the moneys are anyway.
That way we could pay the bills AND draw more people to the forums with the porn.
And the good thing is we dont eaven have to change the name!

$10 from me (jminnion@gmail.com), though I sent an eCheck so it'll take like 3 days to get there.
And I also checked the whois on this domain:
Quote:
Domain Name: FORUMSX.NET
Registrar: GO DADDY SOFTWARE, INC.
Whois Server: whois.godaddy.com
Referral URL: http://registrar.godaddy.com
Name Server: NS1.DREAMHOST.COM
Name Server: NS2.DREAMHOST.COM
Name Server: NS3.DREAMHOST.COM
Status: REGISTRAR-LOCK
Updated Date: 01-oct-2005
Creation Date: 13-nov-2003
Expiration Date: 13-nov-2006
NOTICE: The expiration date displayed in this record is the date the
registrar's sponsorship of the domain name registration in the registry is
currently set to expire. This date does not necessarily reflect the expiration
date of the domain name registrant's agreement with the sponsoring
registrar. Users may consult the sponsoring registrar's Whois database to
view the registrar's reported date of expiration for this registration.
So it would appear it expires November 2006.

Heads up, Dreamhost gives out $80 gift certificates to all members after about 11 months, to thank you for staying with them for a year. Check the e-mail you registered the website with, if it's around that time.
Quote:
The Happy DreamHost Forever Team
<support@dreamhost.com>to me

Hey Forzan,
We noticed that one month from today is the 1 year anniversary of
when you first began hosting with us! Time flies, eh?
As a thank you for your loyalty/patronage/what have you we have
created a $80 DreamHost gift certificate for you! This email is it! You can
use the gift certificate on your own account (greedy!) or you can send
it to somebody else!
Your bill is closer to $20. I assume you're using Crazy Domain Insane- that comes with a free registration for your DNS as well. So thank you Dimitri, for supporting this website for an entire year.
---------------------
It's also worth noting that the WebId of the user is thegeekmaster.com. I have to assume it's a site you're also supporting on the forumsx hosting plan, or a really shitty username. This colorful masterpiece, from the mentioned site, caught my eye.

I'm going to assume you drew it Pellanor, since you're from Calgary, Alberta, and so is "Rules", the artist.
http://www.thegeekmaster.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=29
And on another note, thegeekmaster.com has the hardest to read front page I've ever seen in my life.

Hmm, would if i could. Im a poor student, poor as they go .
However, my roulette gambling has gone pretty well over the past days and im on a 10 dollar surplus right now . However, the poker has gone badly so im not really sure. Besides, i get less salary from the job due to having been on a skiing vacation.

Yes this is true. Unfortunatly I went and paid for two more years before I got the gift certificat, but now that's money that can go as a creadit towards reducing my next bill.

Yes that is one of my other sites, and Yes I am Rules, though the art is done by a friend of mine. It was originally going to be a webcomic, but we never got that far with it.
As for the front page being hard to read, yeah I'll agree with you on that. I'm just too lazy to fix anything at the moment.
