Donations (domain name)

Well dang, did anyone else notice the ad is gone? We must have made the nut. Thanks to all the doners!

There was a while comment about it from Lady Admin on the last page!

You might have donated towards next year!

{{{Oi Admin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Our domain name changed- without a vote!!!!! What happened to our democracy?!! Also doing weird things- like when I make a post it sometimes takes me to a screen telling me the forum doesn't exist- I'm drunk I dot need an existential crisis too!! Besides sounds Dark Planet-ish to me!!!! The NotP were right!!!! }}}

I have obviously sold you to some random orc and used your donation money on chocolate.

I'll investigate whats going on. Seems the SSL thing is causing troubles I didn't think we'd have.

Aaaand we're back? Just as planned. Of course. I totally fixed it.

Just a hiccup while updating links to https then I suppose.

And its seems we now have enough credits to use for next year's renewal as well!!

No there wasn't. there was something about having https, but that was before the ads disappeared. Nothing about having made our donation goal...we still had ads when I donated.

That is a bit odd. I bought the advanced pack plus ad removal before I activated the ssl certificate and thus got us https. There shouldn't have been any ads at all.

Maybe I misremembered about there still being ads when I donated. But I think seeing the https note would have made me look.

Ahhh, that would explain why I had to reset my password twice this morning. Should have suspected orc from the beginning.

{{{ Blimey I haven't even got to pay day yet! I feel like I've handily been in the bogs when its was my round!     }}}

I've been doing my Admin duty, and we are set for 404 more days of Forumshire fun.


Domain name was still free to renew, cause Forumotion says we are still an active forum.

Advanced pack + ad removal was bought with the credits we had due to kind donators last year (as can be read above).

Wanna donate in advance for an ad free 2020/2021? (June 2020 - June 2021)

It's not a must, there's no rush, just saying it's something you can do if you want to.

((Seems 1000 credits is approx. 10 Euros or 12 USD, according to the Skrill payment option. We have 580 credits, cost is 5260 credits.))

will do at the end of the month if that's ok?

You can do it any way and in any end you want to.

Can I post now? Oh, I forgot what I was gonna say.

good, posting is fixed. Didn't work this morning.

I know, I am guessing it has to do with the renewal.

{{{ Got a bit scary in the small hours Whenever I tried to log on I couldn't even find the forum! Bookmarks, going via google, different browser- all the same, no forum just took you to the formation mainscreen asking if you wanted to create a forum!!

Very glad to see things have been restored! I was getting Dark Planet Day flashbacks }}

I do approve of and applaud Dark Planet Day flashbacks - a glorious day indeed - but I prefer to be the cause of them myself!

Good to see I popped in just when the crisis was over. I’ll let Odo know —- I wondered why he was hiding under the bed...

{{ So that's where he's been, not that I'm only here now because said crisis is over, the zipper on my sporran was stuck that's all... but kick that old bugger out from under there, this place has been shy of the Banks clan for far too long! I dont care if he so wealthy now and if everything he touches turns to his favourite flavour of jelly, semi-retirement doesn't suit him.
And besides this place is nowhere near silly enough any more    And no one does silly as well as the Banks clan- so get that message through to them.
I would say I miss them but even thinking it makes me want to vomit, and I hate wasting buckie, plus I suspect would have a similar effect on Odo to hear it, so instead tell the tall-headed banker that no-ones noticed he's gone and Amarie is planning on nationalising all his Forumshire Enterprises in his absence anyway. That should do it   }}

All I can say is, living on unemployment benefits, carer allowances (Biffo having a sore arm), disability benefits, childcare benefits, etc. etc.  is not that easy, and coming here to be insulted by a Scotshobbit is just nowhere on my agenda. And Panama is full of foreigners! I have much to weigh me down in my old age!

Odo!

I've been missing clarity in my life. I don't know if my current penchant for hiding from students and landowners is at all respectable, or jelly belongs with pumpernickle. But now you're back and I know all such things will be resolved.

{{ It's been so long I feel like a birdwatcher who just added a yellow-bellied sapsucker to their life-list.}}

I have been the font of never ending insults at this place, but I have never - NEVER! - been compared to a yellow-bellied sapsucker! I can read between the lines, Sir!

I suppose knowing that it's a woodpecker doesn't help matters?
