View Full Version : Pure Evil - Call for Donations

Good Morning! (And if I don't see you: Good Afternoon, Good Evening and Goodnight.)
Thanks to our July Subscribers: Erik Bush, Panda Love, Blain Riley, Nick Budziszewski, Keith Miller, Robert Rose, Nikolai Mohilchock, Gabriel Isenberg, Jeff Baxendale, Kevin Carpenter and Roger Harford Jr..
August is our annual Subscription Drive. If everyone could please dig deep and donate (http://www.evilavatar.com/forums/subscriptions.php?) some money to the page it would really help us out. Our goal is to cover as much of our $2500.00 hosting bill as possible. That money goes right to the fancy new server - this is the new server that even kept us online when we got Wanged by those funny guys at Penny-Arcade (http://penny-arcade.com/).
Give till it hurts! Then hurt someone else till they give!

That is Ok. From the Orange name, I see that you have already pitched in and helped - THANKS!
I appreciate every little bit that people pitch in, that is why I started doing these monthly Thank You posts. I want everyone to know it means a lot to all of us.

I'm a little confused at the pricing and what you get. There are some that are for 1 year and are 35 and others that are 1 year for 10. Also, what do you get besides an orange name? Not trying to be mean here, and I love this site and giving is a gift in and of itself, but I was just curious if there was other stuff is all. I will probably give anyway, though I could probably only do the 10 or 5, but just wondering.
Thanks!

They should all be for 1 year except the $5.00 donation and the $50.00 (and up) donations. The only reason they expire in a year is as a gentle reminder that every year we have to pony up the dough for hosting costs. (Which more than doubled when we moved to the new server.)
If someone expires and they still want to be an Orange name I will extend their Subscription for another year.
All you currently get is an Orange name and the ability to set your own custom Forum Rank. When we upgrade our software, if there are more features we can make available to subscribers we will make them available.
It is really just a way for the regular readers to help keep the page up and running during those months when advertising doesn't cover our costs.

Yes, your fear of PayPal is illogical. I've been using them for years as both a buyer and a seller without incident.
There is always a fear when you buy something via an online auction that the seller might try to rip you off - that is just what happens sometimes and PayPal can make that easier on those people, but you can usually judge those things using their Ebay feedback.
For one time credit card transactions (like an Evil Avatar.com donation) they should be totally secure, but I would also recommend them for Ebay use.

GrinR, your barvery (for being against the norm here, and where you live) is enough for me to like you. That, and I don't think you're a vindictive prick. Yet.
That being said, even though I am paid up for a while, I'll be donating during this drive, when I get paid. I just love you guys too much!

That is the approximate cost for an entire year of hosting. I paid a bunch of money on top of that a few months ago when we upgraded the server. I think I paid close to $800.00 for the upgrade, including a couple of months of hosting.
The site is pretty cheap to operate overall, but obviously we are past the point now where I can run it with no advertising and/or donations.
Still, I would work one overtime day a month just to keep the page online and not give it a second thought. The community here is just too cool to let slide over money.

But then I get some guy I know has a gun telling me I better give him his money and stop acting like a pussy. Instantly I turn into a dsylexic orphan baby willing to roll over and show him my belly so he'll stop being mean to me.

is there another way to donate other than paypal?
i've removed all my info from paypal account because i don't agree with their new terms, but they won't completely remove my credit card, so i can't just send money on that form :(
suppose worst case, i can wait until i get back in the states and get a new card.

It depends on what you pay for. I can't remember the rates because I donate odd amounts at different times during the year, but the list is out there somewhere.

If the email address you used to donate isnt the same as you registered for this site, I think you need to PM Evil ( or maybe one of the other reds ) what email account you used and what email account you use here, and he will get it fixed up.
