Well heck, I've started seeing some good fortune come my way. Why not share the love? I'll have to get a Yahoo whatever-it-is account and send something along when I get another payment from my clients.

Batman976 11-30-2003 03:45 PM

I've considered donating on several occations, but I just can't fit it into my budget. I've got no job at the moment, and I can barely afford to feed myself. I'm sure once I find a job I'll scrape up some cash to donate. Until then, I'll just try to continue contributing by adding to the discussions when I can.

What can I say? I'm in college and broke. It sucks.

What is the story behind paypal?
I'm just trying to keep the number of locations that have access to my credit/checking accounts down to a minimum...

UPDATE: found the thread...

How will I start my day without the titty board? I'll do my best. I hope my co workers don't find me to cranky. Have donated several times and survived the past crash and will wait patiently till the board rises again. In the mean time I guess I'll set up that yahoo thing

bobby 11-30-2003 06:04 PM

i'll sent some as soon ass i figure out how to due it...whats best for you...disbbled my avitar,i think??? if that helps ....love ya all, bobby...XOXOXOO

furious 11-30-2003 07:30 PM

As previously stated, i suggest putting something on the main page, or even go so far as a popup (shock horror) to raise awareness of the plight of the TFP funds right now.

I only found out what happened from forum sections that a lot of people do not visit... so im pretty sure a lot pf people would be unaware of what the deal is and why the sections have been disabled.

How about some fundraisers?
"Free Kobe" shirts sell well...

saltfish 11-30-2003 08:02 PM

Besides donation money, is there any general hardware or computer hardware that we may have laying around, that would be of use to youz guyz??

uptown 11-30-2003 08:08 PM

Come payday at week's end you'll have my donation.This is a wonderfully refreshing site with interesting people who maintaine mature outlooks no matter what is being discussed.

Dilbert1234567 11-30-2003 09:52 PM

sniff ill miss it.

Sleepyjack 11-30-2003 10:24 PM

maybe i can give a kidney or soemthing?

skaterpunk 11-30-2003 10:57 PM

halx pm me with an email addy that accepts paypal... if you have one... and ill send somethin-it wont be much... but uve been providing us with a kickass service.... i think you deserve a lil bit from each of us... i try and participate in threads and let them know their work is appreciated, but you are the single most overlooked person on these boards.... thanks for all you do and good luck with this....

flamingdog 11-30-2003 11:41 PM

Sorry, but I don't buy that 'i'm strapped for cash stuff'. I don't know anyone who can't afford to drop a few coins on a beer or some smokes or a stupid hat or something. Nobody's that strapped they can't send $5.

12-01-2003 03:19 AM

Halx, sending some cash snail mail soon.

Thanks to all mods!!!!!

merkerguitars 12-01-2003 06:43 AM

phew i was wondering why some of the forums and the search disappeared.....if I can survive everyone else can. I would advise to use liquordealers challenge of not using avatars if that would help any. That reminds me....I should donate again...every little bit counts...

brknkybrd 12-01-2003 09:03 AM

I miss being able to use Paypal, but they don't want their service used for "adult entertainment" (if I understand correctly).

I sent a personal check from my Canadian bank account (and I'm living in Korea!), and that seemed to work.

lowlight 12-01-2003 12:30 PM

gee i feel really shitty about being a leach so long. :( i'll do my best to get something to you Hal but most of my limited budget goes to the university. i grad in march so maybe if i get a job i could send some $$$.

hope its not too little too late....

cowudders14 12-01-2003 12:46 PM

Im interested that no-one has mentioned BitPass yet: https://www.bitpass.com/ - See the FAQ at https://www.bitpass.com/earn/FAQ/. This looks to me to be a better option than paypal, as anyone can use it. They accept payment from credit or debit cards, or paypal accounts. They charge:
There are no setup or monthly fees.
For items priced $0.01-$5.00, the transaction fee is 15%.
For items priced $5.00 and higher, the transaction fee is 5% + $0.50.

What does everyone think? This may be a better way of doing things now paypal has gone and given the constraints of yahoo. Me being in the UK isn't helpful! I will donate soon!

marcopolo 12-01-2003 02:06 PM

If you guys need an orange barrel to put by that pot hole ... I can help .

guest20 12-01-2003 03:51 PM

Can the Link Post Forum be returned?
I didn't think text as links took so much processing power / space..... ?

Just an idea.
Tfproject is by far the best forum.
I hope to donate soon.
Thanks for all your hard work.

Dale 12-01-2003 06:01 PM

Is that why no boobies threads? I have donated before and have been wanting to donate again, but my daughters have simply drained me. When they leave home they are more expensive than when they were in the house. I will try to send another $50.00 today if I can find it. This site is the best site BY FAR. None of the pay-sites even come close.

kukyfrope 12-01-2003 10:52 PM

donation on the way :)

eschmidt 12-01-2003 11:04 PM

You don't miss some forums until they're down for a while....... yes, I mean the TB. I can't live without it, it's like daily medicine for me! Sad that PayPal don't work within the US.

I still have 15 bucks from my last visit in the US, I could send it by mail to you Halx but I don't know if you get it. Here I can't even use it so it makes sense that my "doctor" gets the money........ where can I send it?

cheesemoney 12-02-2003 04:01 AM

Now I have to get all my porn from the avatars...

tangledweb 12-02-2003 05:53 AM

I am sending $50 via snail mail. I can't stand the Yahoo account stuff as they seem to bombard me with spam. It will go out today.

Thanks, Halx

Dano069 12-02-2003 06:21 AM

I didn't even realize the TB was missing. I know they'll come back eventually. A donation was mailed out yesterday. :thumbsup:

Sounds reasonably interesting...
There isn't a lot of information on their site, but their payment system seems ok. Biggest problem I can see so far is that they are not accepting earners at this time, they have no info on wether or not they accept anyone as an earner (cfr PayPal's no-adult-content-policy), and they are still in beta stage...

I'd like for this to work (as I live outside the US as well), but I'm not buying their pre-paid cards yet...

*I wonder if Western Union money transfers will work

floonine 12-02-2003 08:35 AM

I had been so busy and away from tfp I was worried I got punished for something. I am very relieved. Have fun movin.

Crazboos 12-02-2003 10:35 AM

I think this will be a good time to see how many of the people here are in it for just the Titty Board or the other forums. Boobs are nice but sometimes the other little brain needs to work too.

A kidney in exchange for the titty board? :lol:


I wonder how this affects the traffic of the site... Anyone know? I'd guess that the TB and links boards folks won't be visiting much during this time, sadly. Theres more to the TFP than the TnA....

FYI, I don't drink, I don't smoke, or even wear hats. I have exactly $3.46 to my name, and that is my laundry budget for the rest of the month. In order help pay for school, I have a work-based deferment. In other words, the school takes my entire paycheck, until the deferment is payed off. say what you like, I'd kill to be able to give $50 or $100 to this place, It's my home. I just CANNOT. <sigh>

Hanxter 12-02-2003 01:13 PM

for all you people looking for what's missing...

again - the main server is being moved and we're on a back-up - so some forums are missing for a little bit - just temporary so please bare with us and enjoy the rest of the amenities...

thanx!!! :D

thadon 12-02-2003 03:10 PM

wow .. I'm down w/ sending a little $ the TFP's was this holiday. Off to Yahoo Paydirect I go.

Well, I was browsing on the new server before and after the TB was removed, and the site about doubled in speed once the TB was removed. I didnt realize how much processing power that thing was sucking... Its kinda scary.

Yea. I have to agree with Hawkeye there. Many of the member, such as myself, attend college. I can barely afford to eat. I will donate, most likely after Christmas. But right now, I can't.

Evil Milkman 12-04-2003 06:12 AM

I'm relatively new to this place, but I appreciate all that everyone is doing to keep the place up. It's really a fun place to discuss anything you want. So, I'm going to do my part and try to send some money over Yahoo! Direct sometime soon. Thanks to all the mods, admins, and Hal(x)!

todd311 12-04-2003 06:38 AM

I sent some cash in. I think I can get by with out the TB for a few days, but I don't know about how much for than that.

Elegant Holmes 12-04-2003 02:55 PM

Looks like more donations are in order, so here goes. Thanks for all the hard work.

Here's the deal, people. The TFP server is gonna be making it's second trip across the Atlantic Ocean. We will be powering down at the end of the month and we will probably take a few weeks to get to DC, where we will be taken care of by our good friends ServInt.

We will be running the TFP on our old server as our beast makes the journey, however there is a difference between dual 1.8GHz and 500MHz P3. We are going to be disabling a few forums and features during this time, so you'll only be able to use the discussion forums.

Our good fortune has run out in Finland and our sysadmin is moving on, so we cannot have our hosting any more. Thus, we will be incurring a few extra costs each month.

Without the support of PayPal, our donations have dwindled severely. We have Yahoo PayDirect, which works for people in the US, and then we have our Snail Mail address. Please, people, if the TFP is worth it to you, help support us. Donation thread --> http://www.tfproject.org/tfp/showthr...=&threadid=718

That's really all for now. Thanks for readin'


************************UPDATE

WE ARE NOW RUNNING ON OUR BACKUP SERVER, FLOUNDER

SOME FEATURES HAVE BEEN TURNED OFF.

ah.. that explains it. I figured you guys were punishing me for being inactive around finals... :P

oh and I'll see if I can't provide a few bucks towards helping you guys pay for the server. :)

on the contrary, i seldom look at the titty board anyway :)
i am on a 56K most of the time, so it's not really worth it. I have better uses for the bandwidth, like downloading illegal music :eek:
and i find more interest in other threads anyway :D

Although i think my brother is using my account to look at the titty board and other restricted threads :( i can't persaude him to sign up and join in, he's just a voyeur.........
