Poll Hypothetical Site Upgrade and Donation Question

[6TimesaRed]

Can't vote SMF error 😉


Seriously if it will improve the site as a whole.. then I am up for it..

the servers you are using must be overloaded or something as the site has been up and down quite a lot lately...

Anyone who says No is a cnut regardless..

Count me in, I will pop a cheque for the euro equivalent of 3 pounds in the post.

*wanders off to find out when the next Greek postal strike is going to be*

Is there something wrong with the site over the past few days. I've been finding it difficult at times to connect to it?

Yes, I'd quite like to know just where the HELL my 6CM aid pounds are going ?

Not some fat cat with fat thumbs, I hope ?

 

[Sunny]

I've just sent a massive snotogram to the useless cunts. We're moving in the next month or so. Enough is enough. I want a fucking refund as well. Ross !!!! get your lawyer head on mate 😀

 

[Rosco]

It's Dantes you need

SMF is crappy anyway.

But i doubt the site has been slow because of SMF...it's probably the hosting company who has clubbed our precious website on a server with another high traffic website.

I have it on good authority that the actual problem is old threads being bumped.

An insider told me, last night, that they couldn't rule out trigger-happy thread- locking mods as a reason for the aforementioned issues.

 

[Farkmaster]

I'm in.

 

[Judge Jules]

Same here.

 

[Gerry_A_Trick]

It would be a shame if we fell £6 short and the site had to shut down because of Skully and Themn.

So, that fiend, mac, got to you did he ?

Damn his eyes !

 

[peterhague]

55 x £3 is £165... that must be pretty close to hitting the target. what do we need, about £200?

 

[mark1975]

I've been getting on here infrequently and usually on my phone of late, what do I need to do guys?

 

[jon545660]

I'm in.

 

[HC]

If I pay does it make me a shareholder ?

Yeh about that. Depends what you, the posters, want too. If you want our own mobile app we'll need more. I'm prepared to put the work in and the owners will cover running costs as usual but the more people throw in, the more you get. Check out the vbulletin website. Anything over can go to future upgrade costs or we donate it to the HJC

 

[FoxForceFive]

Here's an idea, instead of £3 each, we leave it at £3 minimum & show one of those meter thingies of where we're up to?

How's that sound? The way I figure it some will gladly be able to afford a wee bit more & others will be less inclined to have to should they be students or just generally poverty stricken.

Feel free to tell me to fuck off of course.

 

[Sunny]

Good idea Jon.

 

[FoxForceFive]

The advantage of the latter way with a meter is it means you guys can decide how good site software we have. £499 good or £599 good! Or whatever those numbers were sunny mentioned.

 

[livvy145]

Fuck off, Jon




Good idea

Yeah, you get a dividend of fuck all every year & a bill for the hosting costs.

That's what we get for being shareholders. Cool or what?!

If we decide to float the site, I don't want Ross being captain.
