dux Posted November 29, 2011 Report Posted November 29, 2011 We don't need no icons, just our beloved core.
Lee3dee Posted November 29, 2011 Report Posted November 29, 2011 Donated! Thx to MapCore I wouldn't of moved to Texas Where BBQ is amazing!
knj Posted November 29, 2011 Report Posted November 29, 2011 I feel super awesome right now! i'm kinda new here, but Mapcore helped me a lot
Thrik Posted November 29, 2011 Author Report Posted November 29, 2011 Thanks everyone, the love you're showing is awesome. Regarding numbers as obviously you deserve to know where your donations are going, hosting costs sit in the $200–$300 range per year and my hope is to also invest in better forum software which is going to be a one-off hit of about $150 and then yearly renewals of $50 — so all in all we're looking at yearly costs of about $350. Donations so far are approaching the $200 mark which is absolutely splendid — I've been doing this out of pocket for years so it's lovely to get some help. Thanks again guys!
Zyn Posted November 29, 2011 Report Posted November 29, 2011 *opens the wallet and pulls out some money* There you go. I just like our little community, that just so happens to be people producing awesome games. Maybe one day I'll pull my thumbs out my ass...
Skjalg Posted November 29, 2011 Report Posted November 29, 2011 Surprised this wasn't done sooner tbh ^ this. I am definitively going to donate more next year as well when I'm swimming in cash from our indie super hit pirates of new horizons
Nysuatro Posted November 30, 2011 Report Posted November 30, 2011 I send you some money. And let me know when you are in Birmingham, then I buy you a pint!
Minos Posted November 30, 2011 Report Posted November 30, 2011 Bet Thrik is gonna spend this on women and booze
skdr Posted November 30, 2011 Report Posted November 30, 2011 Donations so far are approaching the $200 mark What?! *donates*
Mazy Posted December 1, 2011 Report Posted December 1, 2011 Ossim~~~will donate my monies when I get home. Haven't tried Google Checkout yet, hope it doesn't steal my megahurtz
dissonance Posted December 1, 2011 Report Posted December 1, 2011 a bit confused as to why the donation was done in pounds but the budget was done in dollars either way, i donated! and i do feel awesome
Mazy Posted December 1, 2011 Report Posted December 1, 2011 Hmmm can't get the Google Checkout link working, I get this: Oops! Unfortunately, this merchant no longer accepts payments through Google. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Thrik Posted December 1, 2011 Author Report Posted December 1, 2011 Sorry dissonance, it's because I'm in the UK so my accounts use GBP but I tend to work things out in USD. There is an alarming issue with Google Checkout right now, which is that they're saying because I'm not a registered charity I shouldn't be using it for donations. I think it might be because Google give special treatment to 'donations' such as not taxing them, but that's only allowed if you're a charity. So I've said they can be taxed or whatever, just treat them like normal payments and am awaiting their response. For now only PayPal can be accepted and the Google Checkout donations already paid might end up being refunded if this isn't sorted out. What a mistake of mine to try and give people more choice.
Izuno Posted December 1, 2011 Report Posted December 1, 2011 Hmm....well i just paypal'd some money in GBP...hope there are no issues! Great idea, Thrik! And thanks for keeping the lights on and trains running around here.
