Possible Bad Things...

[Vicious88]

Our domain name (infohub.me) will be expiring the day after tomorrow (meaning the 18th). I plan to repurchase, but sadly right now, I am so tightly strapped for finances that the only money for at least two weeks is $10, which really needs to go towards whatever groceries such a meager sum can get.

I am not asking for donations, but rather am asking for patience as I am attempting to take on whatever side labor I can which will pay off in time for me to renew our domain name. I just wanted to let you all know so you could perhaps brace for a "worst case scenario" (although I intend to do everything within my power to prevent that from happening).

In the event that I should fail to make the money needed before the due date, please check back regularly as the domain WILL be renewed ASAP.

Thank you for your patience, understanding, and continued support of Infohub.Me

Mike has just informed me that we have a backup URL of http://infohub.woogers.net (http://infohub.woogers.net/)

So, if I should fail, feel free to stay connected using that until I can correct up my own failures as a web admin.

[Tom]

Not to worry chaps, they can take our name but they'll never take our freedom!

In a few weeks I believe I will have finances of my own to contribute to Infohub, to the tune of £30/week ($50/week for you ridiculous Americans), which isn't much, but I hope it'll be able to get a few things done.

[Mike]

ridiculous Americans

Look you, I already get my pronunciation insulted by BBC commercials every two hours, I don't need to be provoked on the internets as well.

'Ello, Chaps and Blokes alike, I've just got to say that I feel like the whole thing is just a load of cack. Absolute rubbish. Cheeky cultures and their way of chuntering on and on about how grand there way of spelling colour is. What a bunch of gumps.

If you understood that easily, than you're a true Brit. Anyway, I should hopefully make it to the bank in time to save our domain today.

[J.L Hunter]

well, it seems that since i'm on right now, that we're okay?

[Vicious88]

Midnight tonight would be when the crap hits the fan -- but I've got some bonus money in the bank and will take care of it shortly. :D

[Tom]

James, I'd prefer it if you kept any "bonus money" and treated yourself and Rita, or even just saved it - you never know when it might stop being bonus money and suddenly become life-saving money. I think we'd all prefer that. Except maybe Dent, who has no soul.

We can survive without the domain until I can afford to help out.

[Omegastrane]

I just gave you 15 dallars to the site my friend

[Omegastrane]

I hope it helps

[ArthurDent]

Except maybe Dent, who has no soul.


And you do?

[J.L Hunter]

yes, because dallars for any of you who don't know are worth far more than dollars.

[Omegastrane]

I just wanted to say you all have become family

[Mike]

yes, because dallars for any of you who don't know are worth far more than dollars.

Only in Texas and states with comparable accents.

I appreciate everyone's concerns and contributions. Tragically, however, I did not re-visit the site after my post last night, so I was unable to see this outpouring of community spirit before renewing our URL, lol.

A special thanks to Omega -- I'm assuming that money was sent to my paypal? I've yet to check my paypal accounts so I don't know for sure -- but I appreciate the contribution and will use that paypal as a savings account so that when this event occurs next year, we'll be ready.

Thanks again to all of you: the URL is saved for another year.

I'm not far from regular donation myself, the bills are almost caught up, I'm about to start my special training at work which will guarantee me even more hours than I currently am getting, and if that weren't enough I just got a bank account, and paypal set up, so, not long now.

[Mike]

Unlike all of you rich folk, I'm in debt, so I can't afford discretionary spending yet. I still owe bank of america several hundred dollars.

[Vicious88]

*nod* Previous to this car loan which I am now bound to for two years, I had managed to avoid all forms of long term debt (my only previous loan was a 1k/1year loan which I paid off in 7 months)... Now however, it will take all of my meager income to pay for Car payment, Insurance payment, gas (since that's how I make my money), and groceries.

But I definitely feel you on the debt thing.

[J.L Hunter]

Oh man, i too will be able to make contributions to the site soon, seeing to the fact that i've just moved into my new home and am only paying 365 a month and halfing that and utilities with my mom, so its really like a hundred and something. There are so many things left to get, like my car fixed but now at least i can get these things taken care of. How much should i donate to the site?

[Tom]

Donate whatever you like! In your user CP you'll see a paid subscriptions module :)

[Vicious88]

...Where does that money go?

[ArthurDent]

...Where does that money go?

Sweden.

[Tom]

...Where does that money go?

mr.assistance@yahoo.com

[Vicious88]

Oooohhhh... Huh, I could have swore that we'd set all this up on the paypal which linked to my Gulf Winds FCU account -- but apparently I was mistaken which is why I haven't seen any money in that paypal. I'd forgotten about the Mr.Assistance paypal -- so that's handy as it can serve the role of a infohub specific paypal. Sweet.

I am a poor man too that was rainy day money and that was a rainy day (literally) You all are family to me

Hey, do you need a kleenex or something?

[Boxofit]

...Where does that money go?

Sweden.

EDIT: Ah crap, Dent beat me to it...by a day...

[Omegastrane]

Can it be puffs

[Tom]

James, could you PM me that paypal account details?

[ArthurDent]

Can it be puffs

A box of Puffs are an entire 30 cents more than a box of Kleenex! Take the kleenexes and be happy god damn it.

[Omegastrane]

No I want puffs plus Damn it

[Omegastrane]
