Help keep the server alive!

Dear TBCS members,

TBCS has a strong foundation of enthusiastic and highly creative personalities that make up a close community of friends that we the staff cherish. We do our best to provide an environment that is supportive and educational for computer enthusiasts and artists alike. Beside the time and effort that goes into keeping this site alive there is a key component that lays the groundwork to make everything else possible. That key is a dedicated, reliable, and quality server to support our forums and that cost has been rising steadily. You have noticed that we have added “donation” buttons in the forums and are asking for your help as a community to aid the transition as we continue to improve this site, it’s features, and our ability to support your projects. Until now, this cost has been paid by the site’s founder Paul Capello alone and in the near future will be better supported by advertising. But until the infrastructure can be completed (which won’t be long) we would be eternally grateful for your contributions during this period. We appreciate any and all offers we have received for hosting space but we must decline due to the extremely high quality and long standing relationship with our current host which we all benefit from. We are in no danger of losing this site, and soon you will see why. We only ask that if you have the resources and like us, feel that TBCS is your home away from home then chip in a few bucks to take some of the burden off Paul’s shoulders allowing us to reach our goals sooner. The entire staff thanks you for your consideration and is proud to be a part of this thriving community.

I added $10 a while ago, $5 on two different cards, but oh well... meant to do five but I"m okay with ten, I love coming here, something to keep me occupied and communicate with people.

[Greco101]

I put in 5, I'll donate more when I can. :o)

[XcOM]

I put in 5, I'll donate more when I can. :o)

likewise

[DaJe]

I don't have a job anymore, but I'll still donate!

[jdbnsn]

Thanks so much everyone! We appreciate it more than you know and are thinking about giving some goodies to contributors for their generosity. More on that later.

[DaJe]

I read in another thread that would should include our username with the donation, to keep track of who did what. But I have to either draw the frunds directly from my checking out to paypal, or from my debit card which is on the same checking account into paypal.


So I'll PM you what e-mail my donation should be from, so you know it's me.

[xRyokenx]

You might wanna just send it in a PM to keep from getting your inbox spammed to hell and back.

[XcOM]

in the paypal, theres an additional note to recipetient,

in there just add your username from the forum.

[DaJe]

You might wanna just send it in a PM to keep from getting your inbox spammed to hell and back.

More like, getting my spam box spammed. I already have 4027 spam messages. And I did the donation, and there was no field to add anything, and I think it's because of the way I used to pay for it.

[xRyokenx]

In that case, lol, whatever... I get like 2 occasionally. It's just annoying, I'm gonna see if I can't turn off notifications for spam, as all they do is offer me to go on some dumbass gameshow to win free Viagra or whatever, they're getting desperate, lol.

[XcOM]

i think you need an account to add a note.

[xRyokenx]

I have an account but didn't see any option to. If I donate more later on, I"ll check.

[DaJe]

I do have an account, it's just that account has no money. But, I have both my checking account and my debit card linked to my Paypal account, so I had Paypal instantly charge my debit card to get the money. And I decided to edit out my e-mail and send it in a PM instead anyway.

[jdbnsn]

I'll keep track of who donated what so when you do donate just shoot me a PM of your email and amount you gave. If you give more than once send me another one just letting me know how much you've added. Thanks again!

[Dilphat]

I'll probably donate $5 when i get home, everyone here is just so nice.

EDIT:I just donated a 5. I'll try to contribute more when i can get my hands on some more cash.

[Spawn-Inc]

yes i will send some money your way once i get pay, about 2 weeks.

[XcOM]

its good to see members controbuting to the uokeep of the servers.

[simon275]

[XcOM]

[DaJe]

[TheGreatSatan]

[xRyokenx]

[XcOM]

Seconded

[Commando]

10$

It's the least I can do. I looked at my Google analytics the other day and saw that anytime I post a new video tut or some other project here, traffic jumps at my site.

I'm savin up for a VBulletin forum.

Thanks TBCS for helping me get my own site off the ground.

[DaveW]

Thanks Commando, for all the content you give us!

EDIT: done. cheers Jon

[calumc]

A little idea, maybe you could add an extra button for donating a custom amount?

[jdbnsn]

Guys, I really appreciate your generosity. You are helping us out more than you know and we're going to do our best to make it worth every cent. For alternative donations you can submit from you paypal account to this email address and donate any amount you like.

TBCS Members Rock!!!!!

[jdbnsn]

Note to all members who donated. some of you PM'd me like I'd asked, but your screen names don't reflect your email addresses on the paypal reciept. Would you be so kind as to email me the amount you donated to my home address and include your email address and screen name in the body of the mail so I can match you up with the log? Thanks again everyone, your help is making a big difference and helping us out alot!

email too: jdbensn@sbcglobal.net

[jdbnsn]

So far I've only gotten 3 emails and I know more than that donated. Don't forget to let me know if you did, or wish to.
