Call for donations

[sermad Chocolate Rain Find all posts View Profile Close sermad]

Heres the deal kids.

Basically the vv site/forum and funk 45 board had a massive increase in traffic and I thought everything was ticking along ok. I had warnings set up to tell me if they went over their allocated limit but for some reason I never got these. So before I could do anything about it I got two bills today for £450.

Im forced to move hosts because I basically can't pay this right now.

I would really *appreciate* any back of the couch paypal money people have. Most of the donations seem to be around a tenner which is just perfect.

I'll send cd's to the boys and kisses to the girls.

I think the knowledge dropped on the forums really make this worthwhile.

The site will have to move host asap and I'll make this as smooth as possible.

Thanks sermad.

Please send *anything* to [email protected]

Serms

Me & Rich were talking about this last night, saying that it's unfair you have to shoulder the financial burden of the site.

I haven't got a paypal account, but I can send you a cheque.

E.mail/PM me with your address and I'll send it over.

Well normally I just pay a set £50 a month and its fine because I use it for other things but last month it went crazy!

Just sent a small donation. No need to send any CDs - I'm expecting 40+ through the    swap anyway, which I'd never have been involved with if it hadn't have been for this site.

Serms, what sort of bandwidth limits have you got on your account ?

If we're typically using more, it'll probably be much cheaper to buy that extra bandwidth up front as part of the contract, rather than pay these punative charges for exceeding the limits.

Oh, and don't worry about any CDs - still not got through the last mix you gave me (damn work).

Sermad what's the best PayPal option - 'Service' or 'Quasi-cash' (is there one which is subject to less charges than the other)?

Cheers!
