The 'Keep SCM Alive' Thread 2016

[Aidan O' Neill]

Shit balls. I forgot to tick the gift box when sending my payment.

Let that be a lesson to you all.

Yeah I forgot too.

Erm, @RedNinja?

This thread is turning into a great example of how lost the rest of us are in regards actually making this site work. I haven't a fucking clue.

About 25gb a month

If a lot of the hosted content that we post was on our servers it would be a helluva a lot more.

We have bandwidth availability upto 2TB if we need it..

As you can see, we don't.. [emoji41]

 

[leftpeg]

Done.

 

[hmmmmm1]

Chipped in

 

[Red Mullet]

I would like to donate but off on hols. Any reason why you can't keep it open for donations indefinitely?

Because we don't want to been seen to be taking the piss I guess..

 

[localny]

it's just brilliant that this gets done every time it's needed.

it says a lot about this wee strange community we have here.

It must be 10 years this month is it?

Strange that some con artist called Dunk helped spawn such a good thing (sheds tear).

 

[Portly]

I think the proprietors could learn a few lessons from Dunk. He extracted money from the punters (not me) with tear-jerking hard-luck stories. I remember one successful campaign involved a female relative who had contracted some kind of sepsis after having her navel pierced. The medical repercussions resulted in her parents falling behind with their mortgage payments. Dunk's acolytes chipped in enthusiastically to pay the mortgage.

Well you're not. This site is brilliant and it deserves to be kept going. Posters, with far more eloquence than me, has put it better but you get my point.

As always timing is everything so if it's kept open so posters can contribute whenever they have the time or the funds then everyone gets a chance to do so. It also means you can access funds whenever you need it rather than rushing everyone to help out when you're close to the expiry date.

Consider it like saving 10% of your salary a month to build up your savings for a big spend.

 

[LeTallecWiz]

Thank you for your generosity. It says a lot ... Really grateful for the opportunity to be a part of this community since I was 18 (~18 years already - half my fucking life)

 

[Mosely]

I've got 25 shiny golden coins here for you chaps but I'm fucked if I'm using PayPal (don't ask).

Is there another way to donate?

 

[Woland]

Yeah you can put it on the end of your nob and shove it right up the hoop of any of the mods, past or present.

Nah, still the same PayPal site I'm afraid and I can't use it (still don't ask).

Looks like it'll have to be Woland's suggestion then. I'll pay 30 quid for that!

You don't need to login.. It allows you to pay by card to Paypal without signing in to your account

right but the credit card is processed by (Gasp) Paypal still. He doesn't like Paypal in either form, I am guessing?

 

[Gerry_A_Trick]

Whats the issue with using PayPal?

 

[Mosely]

Don't ask.

Acute Myeloid Leukaemia? What does that have to do with anything?

 

[Athens]

Don't ask.

Now I really want to know.

 

[Athens]

Acute Myeloid Leukaemia? What does that have to do with anything?

Perhaps he used PayPal to scam an Acute Myeloid Leukaemia charity?

 

[Portly]

He made this woman pregnant and she's looking for him.

 

[ILD]

Sent on a few pound there. I did it without logging into Paypal but there was no gift or gift option that ye are talking about above!!

Thanks for all your work.

 

[Portly]

I think "gift" options only apply if the payment is to a registered charity?

I'm assuming we are talking about the tax benefit to the recipient.

Anti money laundering ? Good shout @Mosely

What do we do in 3 years, when BrendanJ has run everyone out of town, and there's just him and Ryan left on the boards to make donations?
