$800 Server Costs Fundraiser – Total Funds Raised, Giant Thank You To Readers Update: Thanks To Readers Giving Extras

June 30th, 2010 (22) Posted By Erik Wong.

We neeed to raise $800 by 4:00 today to cover server costs and keep the site up, or it goes dark.

Please help if you can.

UPDATE 1: $755.00 Still needed. Thanks to the gentelmen who donated.

UPDATE 2: $710.00 still needed. Thanks to the gentlemen who donated.

UPDATE 3: $685.00 still needed. Thanks to the gentlemen who donated. Ladies?

UPDATE 4: $665.00 still needed. Thanks to the gentlemen who donated.

UPDATE 5: $565.00 still needed. Thanks very much to a Ms., Miss, or Mrs., (as she may prefer) PD (no relation), who very generously donated $100.00. The ladies have indeed stepped up to the plate.

UPDATE 6: $535.00 still needed. Thanks very much to the gentlemen who donated.

UPDATE 7: $485.00 still needed. Thanks very much to the gentleman and business who donated.

UPDATE 8: $425.00 still needed. Thanks very to the gentleman and lady who donated.

UPDATE 9: $225.00 still needed. Thanks very much to the ladies and gentlemen who donated.

UPDATE 10: $200.00 still needed. Thanks very much to the gentleman who donated.

UPDATE 11, 4:16 AM PDT: $150.00 still needed. Thanks very much to the gentleman who donated.

UPDATE 12, 5:49 AM PDT: $75.60 still needed. The breakdown of that is $50.00 to bring us to the even $800.00, and additional 25.60 in order to cover the 25.60 that was deducted from the $800.00 by PayPal to cover their processing fee. Thanks very much to the lady who very generously donated, and for the record, given that I had sportingly issued my challenge to the ladies earlier, the ladies have come out just about even with the men in their support of the site. So much for the myth that this is primarily a guy’s hangout.

UPDATE 13 6:09 AM PDT: Total funds received, with an extra $25.00 to boot. Thanks very much to the gentlemen who closed us out, along with the largest and most heartfelt of thanks to my very loyal and dedicated readership and viewership: the smartest, most articulate, most passionate, most dedicated, most reliable, and f-in’ funniest group of patriots in the nation. Onward…

UPDATE 14 7:49 AM PDT: Thanks very much to the gentleman who decided to take us further over the top by another $50.00, for a total of $75.00 extra.

UPDATE 15 8:15 AM PDT: Thanks very much to the gentleman who just donated $50.00, taking us further over the top to $125.00 extra.

UPDATE 16 09:25 PDT: Thanks very much to the gentleman who just donated $50.00, now putting us over the top at a greatly appreciated $175.00 extra.

UPDATE 17 10:44 PDT: Thanks very much to the gentleman who just took us over the top to $195.00 extra.

Count me in for 25 but have a question 1st . I thought we were boycotting paypal? I have not used them since they fucked up the sites bank account. Is the boycott over? If it is I missed the memo. Anyone know?

Just choose credit card.

Here’s the deal. The payment system must be easy for all (Amazon is harder, you have to sign up, etc.)and the money has to be paid quickly to the server company via credit card, and Paypal has debit cards attached to their premiere accounts. PD.com editor Erik Wong has an available Paypal account with a debit card attached, so as a practical matter, it had to be done through Paypal this time.

You sure about that senti? I’m skeptical about putting my numbers out over the net. Ya hear about hackers collecting numbers all the time. You sure it’s safe?

JIM D

Which way you recommend Pat ?

http://patdollard.com Pat Dollard

Paypal by credit card. I know of no one personally who has had their info stolen and abused through paypal, and I’ve never had anyone have that happen to them when paypal was being used on the site.

JIM D

Done.Went right through I Was’nt sure if my account was still active,Aint used it in so long. Now I can shop ebay for some silver. Ya never know when the werewolves are gonna show up.

I do not know how paypal works, but I can send a bank check. Give me an address and count me in for $100. It will go out today by FedEx.

http://patdollard.com Pat Dollard

Thank you. The address is:

6501 E. Greenway Parkway #103-448
Scottsdale, AZ 85254

Check should be made payable to CMSU, LLC. No need to Fed-Ex it, as if it is not here today, it is too late for this round, but it can be applied to next months bill.
David

I was checking my email for the address. I will send it out today and an additional $100 for not checking here first.

A BIG thank you to all you donated. I apologize I was not able to do so as I’ve been unemployed for 7 months now and barely able to make it. I’ve even thought of disconnecting my internet service to save $$ – but damn it, I need my fix of Pat and the awesome people who make this place what it is.

THANK YOU AGAIN!
