Hi Everyone,

As we can see from the updated counter in the top right hand corner of your page we are at that time of month again where Ziroc needs our help to keep this place alive.

Please if you like this place and want to see it stick around please donate.

If you play on our Mod Escape from Undermountain and you enjoy the hard work that Ziroc has put into it please donate.

Lets all do our part to keep the best RPG forum on the net alive and kicking.

Cheers

T-D-C

The counter says "goal reached" is that right?

dplax 11-07-2004 06:43 AM

I guess you need to refresh your browser's cache then Variol. For me it shows Donationg Goal for this month due nov 17. And nothing has been added yet.

You need to keep your wife on a leash.

T-D-C 11-07-2004 11:14 PM

Tell me about it My bonus was spent last month so I ahve to wait till the 15th. But good work everyone we have $50 already!

Hivetyrant 11-07-2004 11:22 PM

You need to keep your wife on a leash. </font>[/QUOTE]She's much better than she used to be. Most of the money was put on the M/C bill, so I can't really fault her. It just seems you can never get a head. In the last month we've had $600 in Vet bills, so most of the bonus went there.
I should really sell her Snowman collection, to cover the cost. ;) I dread the thought of those things coming out of the closet for the entire winter. :(

Bumping again. [img]graemlins/Bump.gif[/img]

Variol (Farseer) Elmwood 11-10-2004 06:24 PM

Wow, I can't believe we're only at $50 still? Everybody talks about how great this site is, well c'mon! With all the people here we're talking 2-3 bucks a person, 5 at the most. Nobody can say they don't have that when they own a PC.

Sir Goulum 11-10-2004 10:34 PM

But, we can saw that we have parents who don't feel that it is neccesary to donate to some person you don't even know. :(

Aerich 11-10-2004 11:04 PM

It could be that the counter isn't updated very quickly relative to the time when people actually donate.

I just put in some via paypal, and I know it takes a little while for Z to receive it. We got a bit close to (ok, past) the wire last time, so earlier the better, folks.

Man, this has fallen midway down the second page already. Either 96 or 120 hours to go, depending on whether you include the 17th or not.

Ziroc 11-13-2004 02:30 AM

It's up to date as of 223AM EST Sat

Variol (Farseer) Elmwood 11-13-2004 07:59 AM

PAYPAL is a royal f*ck-up! Sorry I'm just really pissed 'cos I wanna make my donation and my password is not what I thought. So I click the "Forgot pass.." and I get an email to call a toll number! F that!
Is there another way I can do this Ziroc? I'm not spending a bunch of money to be on hold to the US!
I'm doing it a la M/C.

T-D-C 11-13-2004 08:11 PM

You don't need to have a paypal account to donate via paypal.

If you want to do it via your credit or debit card you can do it without a paypal account.

Whatchu talkin' 'bout Willis?

Ok, I'll try again..

Variol (Farseer) Elmwood 11-13-2004 10:44 PM

Ok, it worked. But I had to use my wifes email address to send the receipt to. It won't tske mine 'cos it said I already had an account. But since I didn't know the password I couldn't do anything. Just a little FYI. Well, that should get us half way there. How much time's left?

Ziroc 11-14-2004 07:26 AM

3 Days to go, guys! (Uh oh!)

T-D-C 11-14-2004 07:06 PM

Just sent some cash as I just got paid!

I LOVE PAYDAY!

BTW Z your pm inbox is full

Variol (Farseer) Elmwood 11-15-2004 06:35 AM

s'up with the meter? I made my donation 2 days ago?

Ziroc 11-16-2004 11:51 AM

Updated it! We are still real short guys :( And tomorrow is the deadline to send it out.

Hellllpppp! [img]smile.gif[/img]

dplax 11-16-2004 01:26 PM

Check your Paypal. I sent in a bit.

Ziroc 11-16-2004 01:55 PM

Thanks Dplax--and all other Donators! We're VERY close now! $49 to go!! woohoo! I updated the bar graph again to reflect your donation d! [img]smile.gif[/img]

No problem. This is the greatest forum I have found on all the web and I don't mind helping in a bit when it is needed. And just call me Patrick. I think I've signed some of my donations with that. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Hey Z, do you post this on all the forums here? I never used to look at the Gen Disc forum until recently; maybe others are the same?

T-D-C 11-16-2004 06:46 PM

Well I post it here and in the NWN forums. I suppose that I could Expand it to other parts of the forum.

Well duh; I never really looked at this forum until about 2 months ago. I was pretty much exclusive at the Wiz 8 forum. I'm sure we can get way more bucks by putting it everywhere. Maybe that's the ad salesman in me coming out, by hey, it's free advertising!! ;)

T-D-C 11-16-2004 09:25 PM

Good point. I've spread it around to a couple of the other more popluar parts of the forum.

BG2, Wiz 8, Current Events

Hopefully it will get noticed.

Ziroc 11-17-2004 10:15 AM

Today is the last day guys! We need $49 still... ugh. We have till 5PM EST.

dplax 11-17-2004 04:02 PM

[img]graemlins/Bump.gif[/img] Not much time left people...

Timber Loftis 11-17-2004 04:07 PM

Check your paypal, Z. You're still a bit short, though -- sorry.

Timber Loftis 11-17-2004 04:42 PM

20 minutes left -- are you gonna make it, dude?

Ziroc 11-17-2004 04:57 PM

$19 more to go! SOOOO CLOSE! I'd cover that if I could, but we're so broke right now, we can't even but milk. that sucks VERY bad. :(

dplax 11-17-2004 05:00 PM

Check your paypal...

Ziroc 11-17-2004 05:06 PM

Thank you again, my friend! Now I can relax and feel at ease. WHEW! I'm mailing the sucker out now, be back in a bit!! :D (By the time the check gets there, paypal will have been transfered into our bank account).


A very LARGE 'Thank you' to all that donated! You have saved Ironworks another Month! [img]smile.gif[/img]

[img]graemlins/choc.gif[/img]

PS: The reason we are really broke this month is we had to pay for my medical bill (an MRI). and it was going to go to collections unless we paid it. Cannot let that happen. My Credit is perfect, and I hope it stays that way lol!!

Thanks guys!!!!!!!
