This is the official "raise money for vBulletin" thread! We need to raise a total of $85 to pay for the upgrade to the full license of vBulletin.

Total Amount Needed: $85
Money Raised So Far: $45
Amount Still Needed: $40

Guys, I shouldn't have to remind you that this is very important. We must raise the funds in a timely manner! If you are interested in donating (every dollar counts), please contact me ASAP either via PM or via e-mail. Thank you!

Umm, could you possibly tell me how we would donate, as i could mysteriously lose money from my wallet and then my parents wouldnt be suspicious.

Danny Stewart · #4 March 23, 2005, 2:44 PM

Currently, the best option is PayPal. I believe Chris can donate through that. All money should go straight to my dad -- he will be the one buying the license.

I'll donate my kidney...

What? That is very valuble on the black market....

Well... It is.

Chris Britton · #6 April 8, 2005, 4:47 AM

Um. I think body parts should only be considered if we are desperate.

I am happy to donate some money to you. I will talk to you about it more on MSN next time we are online together.

This is the absolute final reminder for money donations. We need this money no later than Saturday, March 16, 2005. Chris has kindly offered to donate 25 GBP, which roughly equates to $45. That leaves another $40 required to pay for the upgrade to the full license of vBulletin.

If you are interested in donating, please send me an e-mail and do it right away! Do not put it off! It may take a few days to work out a final arrangement. Remember that every dollar counts! If you cannot donate $40 (and I don't expect that anybody can), donating even $10 would help dramatically! Please consider it!

Thanks for all your support!

Obviously you guys care a lot about keeping the site running. Thanks for your support.

Daniel Gordon · #9 April 13, 2005, 6:35 PM

danny, we carea bout this site alot, but some of us are hard pressed for cash. I would donate if I could. But at the moment It is not possiable

Danny Stewart · #10 April 13, 2005, 11:02 PM

I know. Just a corrupted evil trick to get more people to donate.

No, seriously though, donation is in no way required. Just appreciated. That was my little disclaimer.

Chris Britton · #11 April 14, 2005, 12:19 PM

I care about this site a lot Danny. I feel hurt that you did not take that into account. I am happy to donate money and if no-one else will then i will add another 20 quid to my total. I am doing my bit and i think everyone else should to. This is a great siter run by smart and clever people and i think we all owe Danny a lot. We have him to thank for a lot of things.

Ross Hendrie · #12 April 14, 2005, 4:12 PM

Chris that is totally unfair, some of us have our hands tied and can't donate!!! Those are very hurtful things to say and completely uncalled for.

Danny Stewart · #13 April 14, 2005, 7:38 PM

Chris, I'm touched by what you say, and I know that my community, if they were all able, would donate without hesitation. But you have to know that not everyone is able, Chris. That's alright. Your donation is appreciated. But everyone's participation in the community is more than enough payment for me.

Chris Britton · #14 April 15, 2005, 9:11 AM

First off. i am sorry to Ross for what i said. i did not mean to insult people and i hope we can put that behind us. I understand i did got over the top with what i said. i took things too seriously and i do understand that not everyone can donate. i realise my mistake. I am sorry for any offence caused by my actions. I will take care in future. And i will take what you and Danny both said into account. I will appreciate that being a part of this community is enough and that we are all friends. I hope there is no harm done.

Danny Stewart · #15 April 15, 2005, 10:47 AM

Of course there's no harm done, Chris, don't worry about a thing. People can understand an honest mistake. But you still need to make sure to shoot me off an e-mail as soon as possible!

Chris Britton · #16 April 15, 2005, 4:20 PM

I am about to do that now so do not worry about it.

Danny Stewart · #17 April 18, 2005, 9:22 PM

Alright, we're covered. I paid for the upgrade to the full license, so we have time now. Chris, I sent you an e-mail to your Gmail account. Please deal with that as soon as you can.

Chris Britton · #18 April 19, 2005, 4:58 AM

I will do Danny. i am happy to be of help to you and i hope that this could continue. I am sorry i could not do much more. to help.

Danny Stewart · #19 April 19, 2005, 7:35 AM

Thanks, Chris, you're already doing more than enough.

Chris Britton · #20 April 19, 2005, 2:19 PM

I try my hardest. I will sort out the payment when i get a free moment.
