I would gladly donate.

If you guys put up a paypal, I'd donate without question.

There are other applications that this will work on (invision).

 

But mySQL is the most popular, and with the amount of traffic that this site generates, it would take a full version of something a lot more powerful then we have, which is not cheap, depending on which way we go.

 

The server is ran on unix, there's no way in hell that I'm going windows.

 

Look at the bright side of windows. Think about how fresh the site will be when you reboot it every few days for the 50 or so security patches you need to keep Soxtalk from being coming PWNDTalk

Lol! Good ole IIS isn't secure or stable enough for you?? I rather have a good working unix server than a windows one for damn sure.

 

Maybe cleanups of the database periodically would help, like every few months.

I set up a paypal acct. I hope to make it active sometime soon.

Alright the option is there. Caution, we have not tested this yet.

Thanks to those of you that have already donated! Keep in mind, as of now all money will go back into the Soxtalk/FS duo unless you specify you want it to go to Jason's date fund. If you've ever seen his face, you know why he needs money. A lot of it.

Ouch. Zinger from Heads to start it off...so wrong.

It was a hanging curve.

But it doesn't count if you threw it to yourself.

Personal attack???

It was a BP homerun at the very least. :finger

Okay, I'll give you that.

banned, not in green.

I'll be making my donation shortly.

 

Love the idea.

I think the donations should hold some sort of status with it. You will get more people to donate that way. Maybe make it be some sort of a membership upgrade, etc. I dont know, I just want to give you the best chance for the most money.

I think the donations are a great idea, and I wish I could help. A baby and a home kinda are cramping my style right now though.

 

I am curious why the other thread with the discussions about the players rules got closed though? It didn't seem like any attacks were being made or anyone was causing any trouble... I still wanted to discuss trying to end some of the personal attacks that are still going on here even today.

This is all well and good, but ya'll must remember that the hardware/server isn't the issue, it's the programming of invision in addition to the database software that's causing some of the issues.

 

Having said the above, Jason and some others here have put a lot of cash into this thing. I don't mean to speak for him but I'm sure he will take this and reinvest as best as he can. It's not like he's trying to profit from this, just cover the upkeep.

Mike, I won't accept your donations. You've done far too much for this site as is. Heck, I still have no idea what to say about the donations. I've never been much of a fan of asking for them but I'm very appreciative for everyone being so willing.

 

But does this mean you guys will get mad if I show up to the next Sox game in a porsche???

I'm in the process of making a donation. But you're gonna have to wait for me to transfer in funds from my overseas accounts...

Well if that is the case, I have this email from a Nigerian Prince I can forward to you that might help...
