That Time Again - PSU Costs

[Hamma]

It's that time again. I purchased the servers based off the last time we raised funds. And paid a months bill, the $1000 raised in that fund raiser is now gone.

So, in short I must raise some more funds to keep PSU running as it is today, without going into debt. I changed the status, I am not setting a "Solid" amount. I will set a goal of 800$ to take us into the future, and go to hosting expenses.

PSU Depends on you! :D

Below is a link to PayPal, and also a PO Box where you can donate funds.

Or if you prefer, you can use snail mail. Address to:

[ Snail mail is haulted till i figure out whats wrong with PO Box. ]

Running total:
$50

Do I get a platnium "Contributor" tag now?

[OmnipotentKiwi]

Maybe it's time to go donate blood.

You may need to start considering a more steady income for the site then relying on $400 donations a month.

Maybe you could do subtle, non-crappy, advertising?

[Hamma]

There is no money in advertising unfortunatly. Why do you think all the .com's went out of business :eek:

There is money in porn advertising, but that is kind of out of the question. :lol:

[OmnipotentKiwi]

Well it depends a lot on how many hits you get a day. PA does fairly well advertising to support itself. It won't turn you a profit, but it will keep you afloat.

Hamma gets 0 hits a day.

Squeeky gets like sixteen a day, but they're all men.

I've got no credit card, but I would donate like ten bucks or something if I did have one.

[BLuE_ZeRO]

I'll try and hook you up Hamma. w much do you think I could get for selling one of my organs? I don't really need two lungs do I?

[Navaron]

Donate or I will kill you.

[Lanizer]

Sell your body people!

[BUGGER]

I'd give a few bucks.....or body parts......but not my wizard.....i need my wizard.:eek:

[Navaron]

One thing that has always worked well is to talk with your clan, and pick a number, and then the clan donate that much. Takes a little pressure off of individuals, while bonding the clan a little further.

[OneManArmy]

another good way of bonding is nekkid + hot tub. :brow:

[Hamma]

I changed the terms a bit, I will not be creating a thread every 2 months. If I expect everyone here to do that PSU will be closed.

We will be looking into "other" options :brow:

(We are selling squeeky, bids start at 150$)

Hope you can think of a good unobtrusive plan. I'm curious how much growth there will be in the next month or two...

Hrm, donate, hrm.

[Navaron]

I'll buy Squeeky.

[OneManArmy]

gee, I'd look into finding another host with all the problems you've had... :rolleyes: at least your hosts better shape up if they want my money...again....

[Hamma]

Another host isnt an option. What we have here is a better deal than you could ever imagine lol.

I'm not that upset about the downtime - there was nothing that could be done. I'm a tech too, so I understand the shit hits the fan randomly at times ;)

On another note, I am looking into some advertising solutions. We get quite a few impressions here monthly, so I may pop a banner or two up. No popups or anything - just a banner at the top or bottom.
