Re: The Big Bounce: New Server Fund Raiser

While I'm currently poor as all hell, I'll do my best to donate at least $1 for every video listed on my profile.... 69 :ying: That's the spirit! If everyone donated $1 for every video they hosted here, we wouldn't need another fund raiser for the next 10 years!! :-D EDIT: Any chance of us getting ...

if you can donate even $20, that is way more than lurkers donate. Every dollar counts! ^_^
You got it! I am here twice a day. It heartens me to see a great investment in the Org's future.

Re: The Big Bounce: New Server Fund Raiser

I know I've donated in the past, but I didn't have responsibilities like I have now... As much as I'd love to donate now I simply can't. :( I can absolutely relate to this! When I started the Org, I was single with a day job and nothing to do all night. Now I have a wife and 2 kids and a cat and a ...

Re: The Big Bounce: New Server Fund Raiser

I've stated this before, it's not hard to spec and price out a server. You can literally go to a website right now, add components to your cart and see how much it would cost including warranty. Additionally you can see how much rack space would cost, they have prices listed for this purpose. Telli...

Re: The Big Bounce: New Server Fund Raiser

I have only been on the site for a few years, and I would have no problem contributing... IF, as Koop said, there were also plans to update and "fix" the org. I do not feel comfortable in putting my money into something that will likely just keep dying anyways. Earlier this week I read GloryQuestor...

Re: The Big Bounce: New Server Fund Raiser

In order to keep this thread on topic, I am going to explain what the site is doing in this other thread: Doing the Org's Work This thread should stay on topic of the site hardware while the other thread focuses on the site software. I'll answer the other questions that came up in here while I was a...

Re: The Big Bounce: New Server Fund Raiser

Secondly, I will also personally match the largest single cash donation up to $1000; if you give $1000, I will give $1000. I donated $1001 last time (Feb 2009) to ensure this happened. DOKI MADE ME GIVE $1000 TO ANIMEMUSICVIDEOS.ORG!! :D (I like the cheerleader!) :-) https://i228.photobucket.com/al...

Re: The Big Bounce: New Server Fund Raiser

Also, how about used server hardware? I've been looking at used SuperMicro boxes for rendering, dual 6 core Westmere x5650's with 48gb ram for like $800. Yeah, they're used servers, but replacement parts are abundant and cheap. Could fill those up with new drives and even keep spares ready to go fo...

Re: The Big Bounce: New Server Fund Raiser

I don't have any metrics (nor am I trying to be pessimistic, just basing off some old site traffic graphs I saw awhile ago), but I am doubtful that goal would be reached - or at least in that time frame. Yet you are a Debbie Downer rather than a cheerleader. :-P Quick! Post pics of cheerleaders! :-...
