Wow, when I signed in I thought I did something bad and got banned before reading this thing.

Has anyone thought of starting a business type deal and having some of the profits donated to the TFP? I dunno.. I run this tax saving thing in Canada where I make a little money (don't ban me for posting a fundraising idea please). I figure if I sign up part the TFP crew - then help anyone who wants to save money on taxes, part of that money goes to me. I would be more than willing to donate all of this to keep the TFP alive. - Just a thought. (been working on this business for a bit, and it's already helping me pay for a lot) mods - send me an email if you'd like more info. (only affects Canadian members however, so everyone else think of something to help out too)

FYI on average, I help people save up to 50% on their taxes (Canadians get screwed when it comes to that), and make about an extra couple hundred bucks a week. It's nothing spectacular, and I don't know what your costs for bandwidth are these days, but like people said - every little bit helps.

To keep things going - I'm going to be sending you some funds via snail mail as well.

Like or not like my message - let me know either way, and I'll either set things up, or never mention it again.

P.S. Would you guys mind donations in Canadian Funds? (yeah, I know it's weird with the exchange, etc, but I'm only trying to help)

numist 12-05-2003 04:36 PM

it looks like (by the url) that the regular server is back...

this true?

Halx 12-05-2003 04:50 PM

no, this is not true

IckUber 12-05-2003 07:57 PM

ive tried to donate many times before, but the link never gets me through, my visa always has a poblem with the internet, but only with the yahoo direct thing.????

ireallydontknow 12-05-2003 11:09 PM

I don't mind any of these so-called "inconveniences". Thanks for all the hard work Halx.

batm4n_23 12-06-2003 07:41 AM

thanks for the updates
i'll go to yahoo and send something along

GSRIDER 12-06-2003 11:20 AM

i believe a x-mas gift in the form of cash is going to be headed to TFPland.

addy2003nj 12-06-2003 11:36 AM

Thanks for the information folks, hope things work out soon, and we be moving once agian.

Do you think you can accept via a biil pay from a bank. Maybe you can set up account numbers so funds can come directly from any bill pay systems.

I do know there are some new technologies coming very soon that will allow people to send $$ from phone number to phone number, but since it is not ready yet, I guess its meaningless. $$ will be coming....

gar1976 12-06-2003 03:04 PM

To get around the paypal "non-adult" situation, why don't you start a related "clean" company, get contributions to that one, and just transfer the money to the TFP?

Or maybe that's the accountant in me thinking.

WhiteDevil 12-06-2003 09:15 PM

No porn? NO PORN!?!?!?! AHHHHHH!!!!
Curse you cruel fate! Why must you mock me?!?!

ADM 12-07-2003 11:12 AM

I really wish I had more money laying around, would love to send 20 bucks to the cause.

BUt, alas, no bling bling. :(

tard 12-07-2003 09:55 PM

wish I were able to send you something, but XMas is a tough time. Maybe after the new year...

~springrain 12-08-2003 07:06 AM

Come on people... no one here would think twice about dropping $20-$25 for a couple of drinks, that new DVD you've been dying for, lunch or dinner out, or a Christmas gift for a dear friend.

The TFP is a community that is like family. If you can't donate even $5-$10 for the dear friend that is the TFP... I think you need to re-evaluate your priorities and what the TFP really means to you.

*tossing in my 2 cents and another donation via Yahoo*

Mondak 12-08-2003 10:39 AM

One more thing that may have been covered before, but I thought I would throw out there....

The search functions have also been disabled....

Thanks for the info JD

prb 12-08-2003 01:44 PM

I'll kick in $100.00 if I can mail a check. What's the address? And who do I make it out to?

Actually yeah, that's the idea I can continue on. :D

Since Hal has the Stick Figure Peepshow running on the side, he could ask that TFP'ers donate by Paypal through there. Because to my knowledge, that forum does not have any of fore mentioned and has always been clean.

But then he'd probably have a hard time relaying the info between what member @ which forum donated in order to give out Donor status.

I'd make seperate links. ;)

rmarshall 12-08-2003 06:37 PM

I gave $50 by paypal shortly after I joined. I could easily send $100 now. I just hate mailing cheques. Having to remember to pick up stamps and mail letters at the country store is a royal pain. Plus, I suppose you'd like a US money order. My little personal cheque in Canadian funds will likely be laughed at and hung up in bank hell for weeks.

But I guess I could do it. Sigh..

Dills03 12-08-2003 10:00 PM

Good Job--the dough was sent. (several days ago) I choose to support!
I agree with others who say that most people would not hesitate to spend $25 (to$50) on music, alcohol, magazines or other items. If someone says they cannot contribute then, in MOST cases, it means that it is not important enough for them to do so. Everything has a cost. You choose.

Sorry for PM'ing ya Halx, now that I have found the right thread, I know now whats going on... If I could've searched for it....... hehehe

spacecowboy 12-10-2003 03:54 PM

Halx

It's going to be a long month! :( I hope the trip went well
thanks

Snakedance 12-11-2003 03:45 PM

Well that tears it. I have enjoyed this board for a couple of years and only donated once ($100 and well spent). I am going to do it again. This week I give up prostitutes, crank, crack, cold beer and smokes, if my wife will do the same I may have some money to send.

Toker 12-11-2003 08:06 PM

Sent along what I could to help out with the move, keep up the awesome work guys. :D

actualy you can

PP has no access to the parts of the site they would consider against thier TOS, that being the (vacationed) TB.

I donated through PP a while back, and will only donate through PP.

I trust PP, I don't trust sending checks through the mail anymore since I had one 'erased' and rewritten for 2 grand. (of course this was taken care of, but talk about a hassel).

RaDiAn 12-13-2003 05:04 AM

Good luck with the move... I hope all goes easily. Thanks for all your hard work for TFP. I love this place!

batm4n_23 12-13-2003 07:55 AM

thanks for the updates
will try to send along some money

happy holidays

I agree with redrum- Please try and re-establish a Pay Pay account. Maybe I'm too paranoid in the BushCroft Dick-tatorship, but Yahoo is asking WAY too many questions!


And getting around to finding a stamp, an envelope, and my dusty checkbook seems to be taking awhile! :D

146519 12-15-2003 08:36 AM

Why did paypal cancel service? I used it to donate once and it's very easy. I never use my credit card and don't want to start now and the paydirect servicde really sucks. I used it for an ebay auction where the seller didn't take paypal and it was not a streamlined project.

31Friction 12-16-2003 11:00 AM

I'll have to wait a few weeks but expect something from my way. I havn't been on here too long but havnt been able to stay away for much longer than a day ;)

You know your broke when the debate isn't between Kraft dinner/No name but instead is figuring out if you can afford to heat the no name up.

bubbaspike 12-19-2003 06:57 AM

How close are we to getting everything back up?

TFP29 12-20-2003 09:44 PM

It's quite a compliment to Halx & co. that the titty board(s) are missed so badly.

Hats off to TFP! Let's all take a break and enjoy the holidays, and patiently await their return.

Same here. Mine refuses to work. I've sent Hal a PM about this about two or three weeks ago, but I haven't got a response yet. I tried three times in a row, and neither of the three times would Yahoo work. I get to the final step (everything is in order, all info in, ready to hit "agree") and click "submit" or whatever, and then "this page cannot be found" comes up every fucking time. It's annoying. It's even more annoying that no one can tell me why this is happening or if my $60 went through. What the hell is going on with Yahoo!? I don't want to send money through the mail, but I want to donate to TFP.

Lord Humungus 12-22-2003 09:45 AM

Thanks for all the hard work hal. I will drop what I can in the mail to support the TFP. Happy Holidays!

I tried to donate earlier this month, nothing but problems with Yahoo Direct. They didn't want to take my money. Any other way besides snail mail??
