You know, i want to hjelp as much as i can, - But what is the level of need, tmyapp?

[viper2040]

maybe if you had a little page or subsection of the forum where the current expense vs income was shown, or even a general "we need $_"

or whatever. I dont want to donate $20 when $40 would make all the difference in the world; likewise, i dont want to give $150.22 when you only need $10.

what do ya think?

also, im thinking of starting a caffinated beverage drive so that we can keep you wired until you finish spiderman :biggrin:

[Squall87]

Adn Improve lag. :biggrin: but wouldn't after the binge he would have Caffene withdrawl? ???

[TMyApp]

lol

that sounds like a lot of work man... lol

plus.. "keep track" would be a bit hard... there is no "set" cost...

yes there is internet connection costs, web hosting costs.. etc... but there is also bandwidth usage costs (which change all the time... depending on how much traffic is generated that day/week/month etc..)

and then there is equipment... it breaks all the time... has to be replaced... etc etc etc...

non of this can be predicted... so... :(

... i think for now we'll keep it the way it is... "donation" is just that... a "donation"... whatever u can spare is good (no need to try and fund the entire game ALL by yourself.. lol)

if it's not enough.. its not the end of the world... one of us will pay the costs otta our own pockets (the way we always have.. it really is not a "new" thing... or a "surprise" for us... lol )

if its a bit too much (it never has.. and i dobut that it would be) then that will just cover the costs for next week/month (i'm sure none of us will start buying "new toys" with the extra $10 that is donated) :biggrin:

anyway...

[mysticveggeto]

[color=blue] i really want to help but i cant im to young and i only have $2 is there another way i can send money

mysticveggeto: This Q has been answered many times... No. Their paypal account is currently the ONLY way to donate money to the cause...

[Warmor]

Unless you know where TMyApp lives. If you e-mail him he will tell you.

[TMyApp]

Warmor: probably not ... lol :biggrin:

[SSJKarma]

TMyApp: i will try to let this small !

what do you need ?
WEB SERVER ?
more fan site ?
a new ISP ?

what do you need ?
example of text you could write !

If you wanna help the community and knows some of these, then you can apply for the job.
- you have access to servers that are able to support 1gb of transfer per day
- you have HTML and FLASH knowledge
- you have money that we don't :biggrin:
- you are here 24/7 (man, you have no life)

if you have one of these then email me and i'll show you what you will do !


end of example !

now that is the kind of thing i would glady want to know.

[TMyApp]

-fan sites dont' solve any problems (just keep the community going)

-html/flash/shockwave knowledge won't help either (what exactly can you do with that ?? re-write the engine for me ... lol... if thats the case, u might as well make "the better" game on u'r own) :biggrin:

-money... everyone needs money... thats why they call it "money" .. :biggrin: ... extra money that we get means better servers... better connection ... better hosts (this DOESN'T mean that there will be "less lag"... just "the game won't be going down due to tech and host problems") ... but WE ARE NOT ASKING FOR MONEY !!! (if u donate.. fine.. but i will NOT be posting "set amounts" and telling people "common... we can do this... just $58,741 to go !!!" )

-access to a server that supports 1-2+ gigs of transfer per day ... now that WOULD help :biggrin: ... if u have this type of server/connection .. GREAT .. (i've been asking people FOR OVER A YEAR to help out with hosting)... and if someone doesn't have this server... see "money" above :biggrin:

-24/7 people are scary... (they remind me of myself) :biggrin: ... after staying up for a few weeks, they come up with crazy arse' ideas on how "help the community"... (so far they either start to host tournaments... make amazing fan sites... or write insane "profanity filters") ... in the end, these 24/7 people make the "mods" (but they never ask to be "mods")

... there u have it... as u can see... above could solve 80% of the "problems" we are having when it comes to keeping the game up (and 5% of TMy's own problems.. *cough* )

[SSJKarma]

you know tmy.
i am here as much as i can, but i have a life (who doesn't)
but if i understand right !

to be mod we must...
- be in here 24/7
- have no income as we don't work
- have no life at all
joking !

anyway, thanks to have answered to my questions, but does that mean that there is nothing we can do except DONATING money ?

[TMyApp]

lol

well... u'r a bit off there..

u DON'T need to have ANY money in order to be a mod... and, u DON'T need to be here 24/7 (ie: have no life)... but u have to do SOMETHING (big/amazing/important) for the community... :biggrin:

[viper2040]

i was more focused on something as simple as an alert when things become really tight.
Or maybe an income vs expenses list, or just an estimate of what monthly costs usually are.

How much was this months expenses, and is it a good approximation of a normal month?

[leftyfb]

I can tell you my internet bill is $200/month (where the web pages/forum is hosted). Plus TMyApp's bill, he hosts the rest (user db, scores, mailserver for cyberfuturism. etc..

[akuma_forever]

if ya wanna help, donate! ;)

[Ludacris]

I wanna help but I can't donate..........I hate that........anyway.......

well then why dont you put the old version back to the game...

ryu chunli and wolverine only? :)
ofcourse everyone wud like to try it again ..LOL

sounds good to me..

[Nferno666]

no...musch older than that...i want to version that air moves was added..i joined this game before that version but when that came out it was very fun :D

[TMyApp]

sounds good... we can also move the servers to a 386 computer with 8 megs of ram, hooked up to 2400 modem... sure no one will be able to login to the game or play.. but hey.. that will cut down our costs.. right ??? :biggrin:

(can u sence the sarcasm ??) :biggrin:
