Should we chip in on hosting?
« on: November 11, 2008, 09:39:09 AM »
The cost of running this forum is something we don't really discuss often. Big ups to Willco and Demi for bailing us out this time. But I just wanted to jumpstart the conversation- If the cost of having an appropriate server for the EB forum is too much, I wouldn't mind kicking in a few bucks every month. Thoughts?

I wouldn't mind it at all if there was a 'DONATE NOW' button or something, I'd kick in a few bucks...

As long as it's not enforced, because I wouldn't donate, I'd rather buy game and other things.

Also, we should have monthly wdybfyfm (what did you buy for your fellow man) threads.  They'll be dedicated to spreading the shit out of wealth to other members of this forum.  Like a monthly secret santa.  Stimulate the economy.  Bru-Rays for everyone :bow

that's hot.  :-*

You didn't like it? :( It does tend to be a bit too sweet, after a couple.

Bells "Hell Hath No Fury" is pretty fucking good though. Not really sweet. Just good. Vydar agrees w/ this one.

I'm sorry, I can't do anything right... :( I hate life.  :'(

I think I have a six pack of this at home if you want it. I'm not a big fan of this kind. If you are, it's yours.

I say we create tons of fake new members, inflate everybody's post count, pose as industry insiders, then start taking viral bribes from companies.  We can split the profits, then sell the site after it reaches critical mass.

Hell Hath No Fury ... But hopefully it has something that doesn't make me want to cry when I drink it.  HHnF tastes like it should be illegal.  It's not bad, but god damn is it strong.

No thanks on the beer.  I don't drink too often anymore and I've been completely unimpressed by everything Leinenkugel's makes so far.  Especially the ale they have that tastes like Fruity Pebbles :rofl

Besides, beer just makes me even fatter.  Which makes me want to drink to ease my sorrow.  Which makes me want to drink.

My money would be better spent propping up other folks economy.  If only I could get in that $250k and higher tax bracket.

:lol Fruity Pebbles... :lol Yeah, Only thing I liked by them has been the Berry Weiss. Blue Moon is always the standard imo.

I think we should tax larger sites and have those funds cover hosting.

Forum is being financed by a secret government that's casting a socialist shadow over all its members.


Yep, Turning this place into a Prison Forum. The Bilderbergers are behind this!  :o

Lets set up an eb church.  That way we can donate, get massive perks, and denounce monogamy as our first point of order.

Also, :bow willco, demi and anyone else who got things up and running again :bow2

That wouldn't work, because evilbore is already kept afloat by the Jews.  The administration is funded by a program called "Second Bar-Mitzvah" that uses taxpayer money to fund secret Jewish organizations like this one.  In fact, all of us are part of it, but not you. your registration was accepted by a glitch in the system and we keep you around to make it seem more legit.  Videogames and hitting on each other are code for the two main Second Bar-Mitzvah initiatives: controlling the media and controlling the IMF world bank.  Now that I've told all this to you, we'll activate the nanomachines in your body, inflicting a fatal heart attack.

If the stats are right, the most visitors here ever on a single day was 212, over a year ago.  There's probably about 50 active posters, maybe?  I just don't see evilbore t-shirts being too hot. sorry to be negative nancy :(

It logs how many users at once - not in a day.  We've got a lot of posters, but we're pretty broad too.  We've got our Japafags, West Coasters, Ohio/Michigan, East Coasters and Euro Trash.  So we've got people on at different times of the day.

Money is not an issue, but I appreciate it.  If we ever get to the point where it is an issue, I will sell the forum for spacebucks.
