[ If you feel like helping ] - We have setup a paypal account [Archive]

Ok, We have setup a paypal account if anyone feels the need and has the ability to donate to help us in paying for another host for the game. I'm not sure exactly how much it will cost yet but anything will help.

Donations can be made to paypal@mikerosoft.net

Sorry for being so brief, but I am working on finding a way to get us back up and running and it has been suggested to me over and over again, more-so tonight, to setup a paypal account for those willing to help out with donations.

Post here with any problems with any of this as this is my first time setting something like this up.

As soon as I talk this over a bit more with TMyApp, we might have a paypal button either on the forum or on the main page.

Thank you for all your support in all this and through the past year.

If anyone attempted to send anything, it might not have worked, the email account wasn't setup properly. It is now fixed.

Lefty like I said over AIM. Let me see by week's end, then I'll see what I can give. I'm sure I'm not alone in the notion of donateing for this cause. :biggrin:

10-09-2002, 06:47 AM

Gimme some details on how to set up a paypal account.

What is a rough estimate of a monthly/yearly bill for the game to be hosted on a "good" server?
One that could handle a project of this size,and it's growth within a year.
If it's within my price range...I'll help as much as I can.

( I didnt spend a year creating a "good" website about this game. Just to see the game come to a close..nuh uh, that aint happening.)

leftyfb

10-09-2002, 08:57 PM

go to paypal.com and sign up. there is no specified amount, thats why it's called donating, you give however much you can or feel the need to :)

nosoul4evr

10-10-2002, 06:34 AM

PayPal.com (http://paypal.com)? I have never heard of this service before...it's kinda sketchy man.
But according to "their" info...they are well acclaimed, and used by many.
We'll see.
If my account goes dry tomorrow....their is gonna be some major lawsuite action happenin'.

After ya'll do some research in differant hosts.
Tell me of a few good ones, that meet your criteria.
If the price is right...maybe i'll buy some bandwidth for ya. :D

VIRUS

10-10-2002, 06:53 AM

ok im going to set up my account to day at paypal I have one question though none of us know how much it will take to get this up and running again...I dunno about you guys but i like to have a goal im mind to reach so...if you can just give me a roundabout figure I would really appreciate it.

Im also willing to use my comp as a server but i dont know if I meet the requirements.

Someone CONTACT ME!!!

mastaq

10-10-2002, 02:01 PM

Yes... it would help to know what our goal is... :O

leftyfb

10-10-2002, 02:04 PM

we're probably looking at $50/month for hosting. And i'm still trying to build up a better infrastructure (faster servers, more space, faster connection, UPS battery backup, tape backup, etc...)

So really, there's not an actual set goal, just anything helps.

mastaq

10-10-2002, 02:07 PM

$50 a month? :0 No problem easily covered.. :D

animezone4

10-10-2002, 02:14 PM

10-10-2002, 03:58 PM

hmm... well.. what can i say... if anyone DOES donate, i'll make sure they get some sorta special status inside the game, as well as some sorta extra gameplay feature(s) (just to make them stand out that much more) :biggrin:

... now... back to trying to figure out how to get the game back online :(

TMyApp

10-10-2002, 07:06 PM

RyanConn: i hear ya man... thats why i'm not even asking anyone to donate ... if they want to, i aint gonna stop them... but for the rest of the users... i know that one of the reasons why ya'all play this game is NOT because u'r pockets are overflowin' with ca$h ... :biggrin:

just show u'r support for the community and the forum... to me... thats a million times more important than money...

Gotenks13

10-10-2002, 08:00 PM

Well, I have a good heart. I would donate, but I'm 14, jobless, and my mom probably wouldn't let me anyway. So, all I have to say is that its the thought that counts. :biggrin:

mastaq

10-11-2002, 01:51 PM

I'm on my way to getting my check. So I'll donate some time this weekend. :biggrin:

Does anyone know how much money is needed to get the game back?

nosoul4evr

Does anyone know how much money is needed to get the game back?
Leftyfb says "about" $50 a month.
I know it's more than that,alot more than that.

If every player just donated $1...we wouldnt have to worry about some third party shutting down our game. Tmy and Lefty would invest in a "high quality" server of their own...so that the game would always be on the internet and FREE for everyone.
I just hope people dont expect the XvsSF Team to carry the burden of spending hundreds of dollars a year in server costs alone.
A server capable of hosting this game,that is able to supply enough bandwidth for 210,000+ viewers is not cheap.

TmyApp, Leftyfb: One of you have to "verify" your paypal account. It will look better if you do....know what I mean?
My donation should arrive before the 17th.
Just curious...has any one else tried to help out yet?

I am currently looking into web host rates.
How many gig of data transfer do you use a month?
I need to know this.

TMyApp

10-12-2002, 03:23 PM

35,000 hits per week... 7 megs each... so.. thats about 980 gigs per month :biggrin:

(just.. dont' go crazy and get some uber l33t hosting plan without talking to one of us 1st ...) :biggrin:

in any case... i'm not sure about the donation thing... lefty is in charge of dat... (i'm just working on the game right now... )

but from what i hear though, u'll be the 1st person outside of the project team to donate... if u do it

mastaq

10-12-2002, 04:00 PM

TMy no bullpoop I'm going to donate just watch and see... :biggrin:

nosoul4evr

10-12-2002, 04:02 PM

I have already donated. The cash is yours :)
I wish I could help more at this time,but I cant.

Did you say 980 gig! Whoaly sh!t thats alot....dats ok...i'll find a server that can handle it....I may not be able to afford it...but i'll find it. :)

Lets get this game back on the net.

Jhteck29

10-12-2002, 05:11 PM

jeez what timing.....i just bought a new software setup to continuing making my album, it was $400 and i'm broke... :( . Sorry i can't donate now, but I will once the cash is flowing again (hopefully from a record deal, eh?)

ibuku

10-12-2002, 07:16 PM

ok so wait if we dont pay we dont pay cause my dad wont lemme pay plz tell me

leftyfb

10-12-2002, 07:29 PM

Thats right. That is why it's called a donation. You pay if you feel like helping us find a good host for the game and/or fund a better infrastructure for the servers it runs on. If you can't or don't want to, you keep playing (as soon as the game is back up) as long as you like, the same way you always were without any limitations. As has been mentioned before, we do not and will not charge anyone to play.

What do u mean by that roll you broke or somethin. It's ok if you can't donate. I'd donate but i'd wanna send the money through money order so I know tmy or lefty would get it. But since I don't have there personal info I can't. If lefty pm's it to me i'll be more than glad to donate around a $100.

Where do you live? Do you work? You want a donation?

leftyfb

10-16-2002, 07:32 PM

people. A donation is simply that. If you can't for whatever reason, do not worry about it and please don't state reasons why you can't or won't. If you can, then thats fine too. The only way we are accepting anything is through paypal which requires you to have a credit card or bank checking account. If you do not have either of these, that means you cannot donate. As for us getting the donations, paypal is tied directly to our bank account. As soon as you decide to send from your end and we accept it, it goes directly into that account.

Glamourgirl

10-30-2002, 09:18 PM

I know I already discussed this under another topic....but I don't think too many ppl read it. Anyway, what I suggested was for one of the mods to get a post office box and give out the address here for ppl to send donations. I think a lot of ppl would give if they could just send in a money order, since most ppl on this game are just kids and don't have a credit card. I know I sure would donate money if this option was available to me. Anybody can get a money order. Even if ppl sent in a few bucks each I am sure there would be a lot of money coming in that way. It just makes sense to me and how hard would it be to get a post office box? Hey, it's just a thought.... :D
