FirstOnes.com needs your support!

SanfamSanfam I like clocks.
Well, as you know, I've taken the helm of FO.com. One of my responsibilities was to get an active method of payment up and running. Well, I got it. If you have Paypal, you can donate money to support the bandwidth costs of firstones. Right now, I have a $100 monthly fee, and a few excess bandwidth fees to pay up. I can probably pay on my own, but it'd be easier with your help.

So if you have paypal, and if you want to, please donate to firstones.com.
Donate@firstones.com is the target address. Thank you.

    Love to help. Just a couple of things:
    Im in the UK.
    What on earth is paypal.
  • A Paypal is the dumb kid next door who knows his dad's credit card number and really is dumb enough to use it.

    Seriously, what [b]is[/b] a Paypal?

    Paypal is a service to use and accept credit cards for payment online by anyone, without having to have a merchant service account.

    Go to Paypal.co.uk, you can sign up there. I've signed up, incase I need to buy anything from Ebay in the States. Saves £10 charge in the bank for a postal order. I haven't used it yet, but from what I hear it is quite smooth and hastle free.

    eamonmca: I believe they already do. I personally have no problem with any other form of money, but eCash is preferred right now due to pure simplicity.

    It's damn useful.

    Sanfam: It may be beneficial to set up an Amazon one as well. They may take more off, but people may trust them more.

    Would, but I need to get a few things up. Mainly, a credit/debit card to put money in. (They require it)

    geez... and I thought you guys liked freedom of speech... I swear like a sailor when I am at sea if you know what I mean.

    I swear when it is appropriate... censor me as much as you like. I have my own ethics, my own code, if you feel it necessary by all means... but one thing I wont do is censor myself.

    Freedome of speech is all well and good, but your'e posting on a privately run message board, and are subject to its rules and regulations.

    From the registration agreement:

    [quote]You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this BB to post any material which is knowingly false and/or defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, profane, sexually oriented, threatening, invasive of a person's privacy, or otherwise violative of any law.[/quote]

    They're usually pretty lenient about that rule...but when profanity is directed at a particular person or people in the duscussion, it's just not appropriate.

    If you're asked to curb your language by someone, you should usually do it out of respect. If you don't, it shows a lack of respect.

    I've said it in e-mails, and I'll say it here, now.

    [b]you cannot use B5 IP to make money, even for a non-profit cause, without the express written permission of AOL-Time-Warner.[/b]

    Please listen. The last thing Sanfam needs is a lawsuit around his neck for running a hobby-site.

    Right now, The only thing that would be on shirts would be things validated as non-infringing on Sierra/AOL-TW IP. Right now, most things are. This country has limits. You can't simply do everything you want. It doesn't work like that.
