Firstones.com is dying!

BigglesBiggles <font color=#AAFFAA>The Man Without a Face</font>
OK, so the thread title is a little on the misleading side. The site isn't actually dying any more than usual. I wanted to make sure everyone read this. :)

Basically, the deal is this: There is another large bill coming up for the site. Sanfam can probably cover it if he has to, but this would take all but about $5 of his summer funds, leaving him poor, destitute, and bored due to lack of funding for his personal hobbies during the summer and probably when back at college as well (no, giving his entire life to firstones.com doesn't count as his hobbies). As such, anyone who can spare some cash, please do so! Help Sanfam pay the bill so he can spend his money on himself for once! (The sooner he saves enough money, the sooner he gets that RC blimp he wants...)

The usual drill. Drop donations via paypal, or contact him directly via the PM feature of the boards if you want to arrange an alternative method of handing over some money (paypal is much preferred as it's quick and easy if you have a credit card, access to a credit card, or have linked your paypal account to your bank account). You can find a handy paypal link on the [url=http://www.firstones.com]front page[/url] or [url=http://forums.firstones.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=6608]here[/url].

    New to Paypal so I tried adding funds to the account with a small sum, can take up to 4 days until its in, according to Paypal.
    If it all goes alright, I'll add some more and donate :D

    So...whats the status on those Gmail invitations?

    nonono, the RC Blimp comes later! First the plain 'ol tethered balloon that will somehow break and crash to earth, taking with it the entire a/v payload.

    Well, you've got $10 on the way via USPS....which is the cut from the sale to Biggles. ;)

    any other ways of paying other then paypal?

    anyway I dont have much money to spare, after I get my bike fixed I will have less then $30 for the rest of the summer.
  • BekennBekenn Sinclair's Duck
    Ouch... more downtime. Glad that's over.
  • BigglesBiggles <font color=#AAFFAA>The Man Without a Face</font>
    I wouldn't count on that. :)

    Ok, so I donated just now, was it too late? Sorry it took so long but the tranferring isnt exactly quick.
  • BekennBekenn Sinclair's Duck
    It's never too late, unless the site's already gone (and I mean dead gone, not run-out-of-bandwidth gone). It's also never too early.

    ^ What he said. ^

    Sanfam: what about a update on the current amount you got on the FO account? just curious...
  • A2597A2597 Fanboy
    I'm guessing...
    -100.00
  • Sanfam... I was gonna snail mail you $20, but I couldn't find a stamp. My birthday just came and went, so I'll send more when I finally can. :p
  • BekennBekenn Sinclair's Duck
    Hey, wow, it's not stickied anymore. Must be living now.
  • BigglesBiggles <font color=#AAFFAA>The Man Without a Face</font>
    No, but if it stays stuck forever people will just ignore it. If, on the other hand, I just throw up a new sticky with a new sensationalist topic every month, I'll get a better response. :)
  • BekennBekenn Sinclair's Duck
    Good thinking.

    I can see the next headline now: "Firstones to be liquidated and sold to Microsoft"

    The horror...

    Off topic I guess, but ...

  • BigglesBiggles <font color=#AAFFAA>The Man Without a Face</font>
    Amusingly enough, the topic has got a whole new lease of life just by being made unsticky. :D
  • SanfamSanfam I like clocks.
    lets see...in the account right now is $30-something, but there was a previous balance of...195.75.

    So far, things are pretty safe. :D

    *cough*...box of...*cough*... B5 items for auction...*cough*

    :p
  • SanfamSanfam I like clocks.
    I know...I keep on forgetting :D

    It's sitting right in front of me right now. Untouched for...well...a while :D

    Though, I think we need to detail the exact nature of how the "auctions" will be held...
  • Random ChaosRandom Chaos Actually Carefully-selected Order in disguise
    *prods Sanfam*

    Well then get to it! Along with the flash game too! :D

    Going out for another run?
  • Ey Sean, you should try running nude with a "FIRSTONES DOT COME" sign; I'd be willing to donate $50 to Firstones if you had a [censored] video of that. :p

    You know, I don't think that would be appropriate. ;)
