Alright all you yuppies!! PONY UP! NOW! That means YOU
See the donation tab? Hit it. I gave 5 bucks. If 19 more people do it, the bills are paid this month. Remember everyone's bitchin about the 2 day outage? Wanna keep it from happening? PONY UP SOME CASH!
So, lets see who's REALLY concerned about keeping the website up and runnin and helping out. During the outage, I offered to host FOR FREE until they could get a more permanent hosting solution. They acted fast and didnt need my hosting. Now, I'm doin my part to see it stay up.
So, lets see who's serious about the website around here.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'S')oftware Glitch Disrupts EBay's PayPal Online Payment Service

SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) -- Repairs were underway Monday at PayPal as the widely used online payment service struggled to get customers back on track after several days of "intermittent" outages.

Users of the eBay Inc.-owned company began experiencing some glitches on Friday after a monthly upgrade of PayPal's software systems, said eBay spokeswoman Amanda Pires. The problems seemed to subside over the weekend but then recurred Monday, she said.

It is unclear how many of PayPal users were affected. Pires said some users were able to access PayPal while others were not.

We only have $43.84 more to go, that is good job because that took only a few days. Sadly I don't have pay pal, so I can't really do much.

Man, talk about guilt trips and hard sell. :shock:

OK, I'll be adding to the kitty as well. I think we'll make October's goal.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'S')AN JOSE, Calif. Despite repair efforts, service outages at the online payment service PayPal continue for the fifth consecutive day.
The technical glitch plaguing the eBay-owned company has affected an untold number of users, making it hard for some online sellers to complete deals.

Financial analysts are monitoring the problem to see what financial impact, if any, the glitch would cause the online auction giant.

PayPal is a common method of payment for buyers on eBay.

Thank you mods, thank you hosts, and thank you to everybody else who donated. Money = mouth.

I don't have a pay pal account I don't intend on getting one.

Please allow for an option to pay by credit card. Thanks.

NICELY DONE PEOPLE! Yall make me proud. :-D

This is prime time for another startup to step in and pick up the ball and run with it.
Hint hint to any of you savvy programmers looking for a way to make a buck. Set up an online paying service like Paypal, charge 1% less on fees and get it up NOW.

Good job people! I'm impressed! Its a much better turnout then I had expected. Its hard enough to find time to update websites and do the admin stuff, let alone having to foot the bills for the whole schebang. Nice to see the bills are paid for a few months in advance, lets the Admins focus on whats really important which is keeping the site current and running, as opposed to having to sweat just making ends meet to keep the site up.
Again, nice job people!
