NOOL Fund Raiser 2008 :thumb: — Forum Archive

24 Jan 2008, 10:09

Hello everybody,

It's that time of the year again, as you might be aware right now, November-December-January-February are low usage months for NOOL, which means those months can not count on Google ads revenues to pay the hosting bills since we didn't meet the minimal requirements for payments.

Hence why each year, we are looking for people willing to help put some money into the NOOL server fund and help pay the bills for those 4 difficult months... usually things will get better around April, but we never know, with lack of New Order information and releases, we might have to scale down the website eventually.

The bills are around 100$ USD per month for NOOL, so you know.

How can you help?

Well, obviously MONEY... so you can help 2 ways.

Direct Donation via PayPal - amount is up to you.

Buy Community 2 - it's worth it.

Thank you once again for your help, I usually put the name of the donators if they want online on the "About Us" page, but that is up to you...

If I use paypal will you promise not to send me Communidee 2! :uhoh:

25 Jan 2008, 05:05

Unless you use Paypal, Al, the entire remainder of the CII stock will be on its way to you... :evil4: Bit 'arsh on CII though, there's some decent versions on it...

Spotty, i refuse to use paypal, is there other way i can sort you some cash out?

25 Jan 2008, 06:57

Nicos...I sent some money...

We might do better with a "Girls of NOOL" calendar though...

so let's see...that's Jemma...and...Bonzer....oh, and Shuggy...

okay...so it's a three month calendar...

actually...a naked pic of Al Jarvis does a certain something for me as well...

:smoking:

25 Jan 2008, 11:06

I've just donated so that I don't have to appear in the calendar.

We have some hot girls on here, so I'm all for *ahem* artistic shots of them. I also volunteer to take the photies.

:food:

Well, beside usual post, I really don't see how....

Unless you give it to somebody else who will wire it through paypal for you.

25 Jan 2008, 12:14

Thanks to the few people who donated so far... it's really appreciated of course, as usual!

25 Jan 2008, 12:17

Nevermind thanking me, can I be the photographer?

PLEASE?

Fuck off...it was my idea, so I get to take the piccies...

26 Jan 2008, 01:34

Now, now, lads, an artistically shot calendar needs more than just a photographer... Shug can take the photos, I'll be artistic director and Jeff can just sit at the back and play with himself... Sorted...

Jeff can be the fluffer for the male version. :nod:

26 Jan 2008, 08:08

done...

26 Jan 2008, 08:13

I'll contribute again when I have some cash. I never got my 'Salvation Member' tag the first time :deal:

26 Jan 2008, 10:18

Me neither, although it seemed a bit churlish to complain... But since Chris has... :deal: :lol:

26 Jan 2008, 10:31

Nic, just spark and internal war between members and post counts will go up! No need for donations! :laugh:

26 Jan 2008, 12:00

I get paid next week Nic.Count me in.

27 Jan 2008, 07:32

I need to sort my paypal account,

so expect 50p from me when its sorted

ps every decent photographer needs a lighting man, im happy to volunteer :nod:

27 Jan 2008, 08:54

As soon as I sort out the dispute on my Paypal account, I'll send some money (it's in pending at the moment, but somebody has attempted to take money out of my account, and so it's currently on hold)... :banghead:

:smoking:

27 Jan 2008, 11:00

I would have liked to send more, but just had a car crash that will cost me loads. Still, I wanted to contribute for the 1% at least of the NOOL bill. It's not much, I know, but if every registered member does like me, I'm sure you will have no problem. So everyone send 12 dollars at least, this site is definitely worth our support.

Actually Chris, you can have your own tag now... not only "salvation" ;-)

Just like Al has "Viking".

Those who want one, just e-mail me... problem was, I had a hard disk crash at the end of 2006 when we last did a fundraiser and lost track of most donations so I couldn't update it.

28 Jan 2008, 07:53

Thanks to the contributors...

I will try to reopen the shop to avoid to do this, but Mr WenOrder might be the businest man on earth.... so I'll have to find other ways to do it.

Except for Mr Nick King, whose donation was put on hold by Paypal for some reason, maybe they think he's a terrorist :lol:

They say they are investigating because it might be a fraud :lol:

That's funny ;)

EDIT: Oh, saw Nick's post... sorry about that :( I thought it was a routine check.

28 Jan 2008, 07:56

Expect some dosh on the 15th Feb.

Can we have some items specially made for the shop? Maybe a FAC 383 car sticker? Just an idea like, you could ask on here, test the water...

It's complicated... all ideas we might have to do merchandizing has to be approved by Object, since they own the rights for North America...

And now the problem with Object is that they don't really ship to Canada, for the shirts... so I will have to find a way.

The results are great once again, no need to panic for the hosting website for a while

It should be enough until the ads start to generate more once again, if not, we'll find another solution...

Thank you all!
