Shroomery Donations - We reached our goal!!!
    #409564 - 09/30/01 08:26 PM (22 years, 5 months ago)

The Shroomery needed help and boy did the community deliver! I awoke today feeling a little bummed out about the future thinking I had screwed up and that the Shroomery would be shut for a period of time while I figured out a way to fix the current problems. So I asked for help from the bottom of my heart, and you all came through in shining colours!

This is me and 3D's first time running a website, we've learned a lot so far, but obviously there are things we aren't doing well enough.. But what we've said from the start is that we care a lot about this place, and we will do everything we can to make it better and of course to ensure its survival.

We are both students, and outside of here we have busy lives, but we both enjoy doing what we do and its days like this I am reminded of how much this place means to us all.

My message may have been dramatic, but its what I feared seeing as the start of the month was coming and I honestly couldn't have imagined the overwhelming support we got in just one day!

I promise you all that not only will this dontation push save us, but that this will be a good wake up call for us in regards to financing this site. I will make sure that this place becomes self-sufficient and that the future of this wonderfull community is safe for a long time to come.

So my thanks to you all! I truly have been touched today by your generosity and you can all thank yourselves for helping out the shroomery in its time of need!

You people rock, and now we can go on with our shroomery lives knowing our home is safe.

He was unavailable, but we did get carrot top on board, just that we would rather poke our eyes out with hot needless than have to even look at him :wink:

NuShroomPharmer, I just read that thread and a few things are apparent to me.

1. The shroomery needs a lot more bandwidth than the forestfloor.

2. You don't know what you're talking about.

3. You are a prick.

The shroomery needs about 100 gigabytes of bandwidth per month. How much bandwidth does that company you listed use? And who hosts them?

Just wanted to echo Rail Gun and say that NuShroom is indeed a prick. You have the balls to slam and slander the place that gives you a good chunk of your business for $40/month? Why is it I get the impression that some spore vendors feel like the Shroomery owes them something? They owe you NOTHING because if you think the Shroomery is ripping you off then the solution is simple: fuck off and don't come back. Negative assholes like you are the scourge of this place. And I must add that I deeply resent the comment you made about Thor spending Shroomery money on the gathering so "people will like him". Not one single penny of Shroomery money went towards that event so shut the fuck up.

Thanks Scratch, not to mention Scratcher paid out of his own pocket to fund the gathering, unlike some he really cares about this community.

Nushroom, I thought you were leaving, unless I read your post wrong in suggestion forum you said to delete your account...

Yeah, I will lose one vendor this stunt, you :smile:

Ironic how the only negetive reaction to the fund raiser was nushroom, lets sing "I see your true colours shining through"

You go scratcher!! kick some ass!! Get out of here nushroomer.
Good job Thor, I knew we would pull through. You have done an exellent job, and I admire that. I feel this is a safe place with you calling the shot's. Now just a bit more exitment in the gathering furrum..... and were on our way:)lol
Good job everyone. I think the shirt and hoody idea is one of the best. Sell them, and the profit can go to the shroomery. I bet you would do quite well with that. I'll buy one, and I'm sure all my freinds would too(They love this place). "Oh, Ian's on his shroomery again":) They will buy one. Thx Thor, for doing such a good job. I can't say how gratefull I am for all your work, to make my favorite community a good one. Keep it up.

Scratcher comes from a long line of whale killing canuckians. He can not help his obsessions with blasting nushroom.

Crobih, let this be a lesson to you that in a monarchy like shroomery, if you bad mouth peoples that the admin likes, you will be outcast. In democracy people could openly make suggestions to better their site without getting yelled out by whale killers.

If some admin puts a problem out in the open like they have, they should be prepared for some criticism, agreed?

damn straight, all these people who claim to "question authority" and "dont believe the media" all the time are just hypocrites..........thor is authority, just an authority that you agree with......hypothetically speaking, if your local news anchor said the local news was to going to have to close down shop because of lack of funds, would you think its just some capatalistic ploy by some fatcats to scam consumers out of more money, or just honest ol' channel 2 asking for some help from the people??.......somehow i dont think your responses would be the same to the local news station as they would be to the shroomery

For $299 per month, shouldnt you be able to set up your own server with as much bandwith as you could ever use with a dsl connection and as much space, ram, etc you would need.  I am taking a computer class and within the last couple weeks I have learned enough to build my own server, I just need to know how to network it.

I do indeed plan on setting up my own server with a dsl or better connection in about 6 months.  I plan on having 1032+ ram, 1.4 ghz+ cpu, and oodles of hard drive space.  With one what I hear you pay in one month for this site, you could pay me for a year, and that is to pay for my maintanence of the server, and adding the programs you would use, and to pay partially for the components which are not that cheap (save for the ram, of course, that is dirt cheap).

I am not saying any of this would happen, but it seems to me that if $299 is indeed what you are paying, you should be able to set up your own server based upon the donations you recieved and a bit more out of pocket cash and not have to worry about monthly fees again, only for connection and electricity.

I dunno, I think I am just dreming.
