Wow we are already at $170 out of $500! The Paypal thing is not updating :(

Thank you for your donations so far! I will get you all marked as contributors as the day goes on. :)

Hamma

I'll start up a paypal account sometime this week and give a donation, nice to see the amount raised already. Awesome job and well deserved.

Hamma
2012-08-06, 11:59 AM
Up to $310!

And the server is taking a huge traffic pounding at the moment! :lol: Thanks guys for your support this is awesome. We have never been able to turn around a fundraiser so fast. Under 200 bucks left to go!

damn, 1 terrabyte transfer?

this site generates more traffic than the official ps2 site, i am sure ;)

thanks for all the efforts you guys put into this community!
great to see the community responds so fast when help is needed!

Hmmm, I tried to donate a month or so back, but Paypal then blocked my CC. Probably because it is a prepaid one...

Shogun
2012-08-06, 12:04 PM
cheers to higby!

but how are you going to colorcode devs who donate? ;)

Electrofreak
2012-08-06, 12:05 PM
I got that last $25 for you Hamma, on the way!

Screw it, bumpin it up to $100. Might as well go for gold! ;)

EDIT - Done. Goal exceeded. :)

Mastachief
2012-08-06, 12:06 PM
Well that went impressively fast.

Hamma
2012-08-06, 12:06 PM
Just $25 short of the goal now less than an hour in. This community is amazing!

That's a good question Shogun.. :lol: Actually in our 10 years this is the first time a dev has donated! :D

Solidblock
2012-08-06, 12:07 PM
Screw $500, make it $1,000,000. That'll take approx. 3 hours

Shogun
2012-08-06, 12:08 PM
if t-ray was the first dev to donate i would have suggested a rainbow colorcode for donating devs lol

Provided all goes well on Friday I should have a job by next week, so I will (at last) be able to contribute some funds to PSU's upkeep every month.

The paypal thingie doesn't like Opera it seems.

Hamma
2012-08-06, 12:11 PM
We are now over goal to $525, thank you everyone for your support! This is insane..!

Raymac
2012-08-06, 12:18 PM
I just saw this. I know you reached your goal, but are you still accepting donations?

You ask so little from the community, so I know that since you've actually asked for a donation, you probably asked for a bare minimum. I'm certain you are not spending the money on trips to Cabo. I'd still love to donate to a websote that has given me so much information and entertainment about a subject I'm so in love with.

Hamma
2012-08-06, 12:18 PM
Holy crap $635! We should be good for a while now! ;)

Hamma
2012-08-06, 12:19 PM
Raymac, donations are always open for sure. We have met our goal but more donations only adds more time between donation Windows :)

Kelderan
2012-08-06, 12:27 PM
Alright, nothing says success like an overwhelming donation drive. Well deserved!

Rean

Nice going guys, Hamma and the PS2 devs are lucky to have such a fantastic community !

Props to you all :), keep the funds flowing, let's make it so PSU doesnt have to worry about funds for 6 months.

Whoah. Talk about the few ruining it for the many, eh!

Hope my $10 wasn't too cheap. I've the last two months of my Wowbatross to pay off this month, plus GW2. And this really asspensive trip to Canada's Wonderland for the kids in a couple weeks, so gaming funds be tight! :)

Thanks for PSU, Hamma. It's one of my favorite places on the interwebs!

BTW: There're not called "donations" any more. These days its "crowd sourcing".

Or something.

A small 10$ is the best I could spare right now.

Thanks Hamma and everyone involved for keeping the site and community alive for all these years. I hope this donation drive goes wayyy past your expectations, that's the least we can do!

Hamma
2012-08-07, 09:21 AM

Final tally as of this morning..

$1075.00 That's $1035.00 after Paypal shaft.. :eek:

Thanks guys! I'm still beside myself, that is $575 over our original set goal. Folks will start getting their contributor titles today, if you don't that means you didn't use your PSU e-mail and we will toss you an e-mail asking who you are. ;)

Small contribution considering how much you guys have done for the Planetside community over the years.
And the fact that you have been so good at keeping everybody in check with the fearsome hammer :lol:

Hamma
2012-08-08, 10:10 AM
Tachyr - I did not see a donation from you could you PM me the e-mail you used?

I've marked everyone who donated as a contributor except for those who did not use e-mails tied to their PSU accounts. I have sent those people an e-mail to confirm their forum names.

I only had a 20 to drop, next time do it on a 1st or 15th and I'll donate moar.

Hamma
2012-08-13, 11:03 AM
I've finally caught up on everything and we are looking at almost $1400 after Paypal fees.. that's almost $1000 over the original goal :eek: You guys are awesome, we should be able to run without issue for some time on this donation drive.

If for some reason you donated and don't have a tag please let me know so we can double check everything.

not insane, hamma does great works for the community. Hamma do you use chase? I'm not a huge fan of paypal and chases quickpay feature is really nice. I think I've asked this before.

Hamma
2012-08-14, 10:06 AM
At this time we only use PayPal. Sorry :(
