Paying for Totse.

It has recently come to my attention, after having a heart to heart conversation with DarthVineman in IRC, that he has received no help in paying for the server and is currently having trouble paying his rent. In his words
<DarthVineman> im broke as fuck
<DarthVineman> its either
<DarthVineman> pay rent
<DarthVineman> or
<DarthVineman> pay for totse
<DarthVineman> so
<DarthVineman> im moving in with you

We talked about it for a little while (both him paying for the server and the possibility of him moving in with me) and I came down to the solution of the site being Donation supported. Vineman says that he can afford to pay for the server for the next month but after December 17th, he doesn't know what he's gonna be able to do.

The server fee is $130 a month, which comes down to $1560 a year. Even if only 15 members of totse donate, thats only $104 a year for each of you, or ~$8.67 a month.

Vineman has hooked us up for quite a while so i figure he needs this.

    Would he be willing to sign it over to someone that could afford it?

    I've always said if I have some "disposable" income then i will donate to here. &T has seen me through my highs and lows, so it's the least I can do.

    Don't worry, we already discussed this problem and have already made plans to fix this issue ASAP. About the renting issue, I intend to get it and take the load off Vineman completely by this month, if everything goes to plan, failing that, I will personally paypal the next month fee, on the first on Dec 2011. Like I mentioned before I had to wait for the full upgrade and everything until I have some basic issues fixed. I am just waiting for at least 2 weeks and after that we would be good for some time. I always wanted to make sure this place can sustain itself and just for that, I had to make some very MAJOR changes and once they're in place, I am confident everything will work out. Can't share the details, it's super secret at the moment.

    ^^ Awesome :) Out of interest I remember Totse (T-Shirt Hell or something like that)having 1 or 2 adds when it was up and they were weren't very intrusive, couldnt we do the same so that some income would come in from ads?

    I say we put DFG out on the game to pay for it.

    I like the ideas discussed here but I can't risk financial details until I have fixed some major loopholes ;)

    I'd love you forever Dfg, I would start writing guides and articles everyday.

    What nationality are you? I feel like "keen" is specific to a certain area, I only know two people who say it.

    Bro although I deserve a Laptop as well, but considering the hard ship you face from time to time, I think I wouldn't mind working my ass of to you help you. Especially since that's what I am best at doing. Like I said, with the direction we're aiming for, this will be possible.

    Heh, the word "keen" is part of my vocabulary as well, although I don't say it very often (probably because I'm never really keen to do anything, I'm either "stoked" or "I can't be bothered" :D).

    If I wasn't on a budget I'd be helping Totse financially :( I feel bad that I've put so much into this place but haven't contributed any moolah yet.
