    [​IMG] C-F's sent in $60, Spellbound $100 and Arahar another $100... So we now have have $415! Great going, people. We need only $20 more for the first year.

    Kitrax, uh, no... The RAM upgrade alone will be that much for a year, this is what this money collection is for. This doesn't include the running costs, which are a couple hundred dollars a month in addition to that. Good server providers with a lot of bandwidth don't come cheap.

    Barmy Army, I never got that donation, so it didn't go through...

    olimikrig, this RAM upgrade is a top priority, so I'll be ordering it as soon as we've gathered the initial amount set. But no worries if you can't donate donate at the moment, the option will always open for when you can.

    I've just done it again now and I think it's gone through. It's not much, but it;s all I can give at the minute.
    Good luck with the rest!

    It's so much harder to donate money now that I am back living in NZ. US dollars seemed so much cheaper when I was living in the UK and paying in British pounds rather than NZ dollars. That exchange rate is a killer. Anyway, hopefully you have enough money now.

    [​IMG] With Barmy Army's donation ($10) and Harbourboy's ($20), we now have $445!

    Thanks a bunch people, I'm glad I can rely on your support when it's most needed. I'll put in an order for the RAM upgrade ASAP.

    If anyone would still like to contribute, you can simply use the same links mentioned throughout this thread. I've still got regular server bills to pay every month, and any amount you can spare helps.

    :confused: Shouldn't we have multiple MotWs now, or are you going to spread them out so they get the recognition they deserve?

    This may be a historic month for SP in that we have mutiple people eligible for MotW.

    Hurray for SP board memebers. Not bad for only 2 days. Only proves we can do. Don't forget this only pays for the upgrade, the daily bills press always on.

    Felinoid, the latter. Each MotW gets a week for themselves. :)

    [​IMG] The extra gigabyte of RAM is in place now (sorry for that bit of downtime, couldn't be helped). Here's hoping things keep running as smoothly as they are at the moment. ;)

    Yay! :banana:

    If I didn't just have to spend $500 on a deposit for our wedding reception, I'd gladly update my SPS account now, as well as some extra $$ for a donation. :thumb:

    But we currently have $11.47 in our checking account...and that has to last us until this Thursday. :cry: :rolling:
