<div class="IPBDescription">*feels dumb*</div>Well, I know many of you have seen this, but there are a ton of new people out there, so I thought I would try it once more (after a little success):
<a href="http://www.box7.co.uk/ns/donations.html" target="_blank">http://www.box7.co.uk/ns/donations.html</a>

Now, I hope you don't take this as begging, or me trying to steal money off you. This would be a fund to ensure some good NS servers are around when the game gets released, and that there would be ample places to train on. Now, this is more of a dream I know, but, I am hoping to achieve something by doing this, that can be helpful to the NS community. Please fill out the form on the page (prevents random people from getting my mailing address), and I will get back to you on the info you need. You can back out at any time, drop your donation amount, etc. This is not mandetory, think it as a charity for NS <!--emo&;)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'><!--endemo-->

Thanks to anyone willing to help! (And thanks to those that can't/won't, at least you're interested in NS)

    Sure, I'll donate. It is, of course, a more than worthy cause. Unlike that S.O.B. Santa Claus who always stands outside the Nordstrom downtown ringing the bell with the big red pot on the tripod that says "Salvation Army". What's this about Saint Nick having an Army??? Why should I fund his military ventures? He's *Santa* for crying out loud! He has all those elves to make him anything he wants when Christmas isn't coming up! I'm sure they could churn out some assault rifles and Nukes! What the f*** does he need my spare change for?

    So that's why I always kick him in the groin. The greedy jerk deserves it.

    Pretty slick idea Bro!
    Now if you only used paypal as well for a donation method, you could recieve the donations a bit faster, but minus a small percentage Paypal takes.  <!--emo&:p--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'><!--endemo-->
    I personally would rather send you the funds via an EFT method (like paypal or billpoint) than over USSnailMail.

    Just Munchies for Thought.  <!--emo&:D--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'><!--endemo-->

    BioHaz: in europe less than 40% of the ppl have a credit card. so paypal is inpossible to the most europeans

    While that may be true, PayPal is still a growing trend within websites. I'm not going to try and argue the point of what percentages of the community are from where, but I'm sure Comprox logically chose the snail-mail approach because of the large amount of our community that is non-US.

    Another problem, is if someone sends a donation of $20 or such, a good chunk would be taken away by paypal and make it sorta silly to send donations like that. But, if the demand comes high enough, I will look into it. Thanks guys <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->

    somting about 3% when you send money
    and 2,4% if you recive money so a total of 5,4% goes off it when you send money

    Hey if my clan goes sky high, I will donate about 50 or so if you can put a server in the clan's name or something. Just a thought, you know always doing business...
  • SmokeMastaSmokeMasta Join Date: 2002-04-13 Member: 430Members
    if you want a clan server buy it yourself for more than $80 a month.
    these donations for servers is that there are some servers online when it's released.

    Smoke Masta said it, if you want to pay me the ful $55 per month for the server, then I will stick your clan name on it and call it yours. But a one time payment of only $50...err...no <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->

    Well I said I'd donate, I sent in my form, but I never got the info or anything so... I'm still standing here with my $40 eating a ravenous hole through my khakis.

    Hehe, Paypal was only a suggestion  <!--emo&;)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'><!--endemo-->
    And I know they do not charge for sending it, only recieving.  Which in my ebay experience kinda shafts the seller outta a couple of bucks.  <!--emo&:p--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'><!--endemo-->

    I just sent out replies to all current donators (you included highlander) yesterday, check your emails guys. Also, I will look into paypal more closely tonight
  • XTS_HighlanderXTS_Highlander Join Date: 2002-04-13 Member: 429Members
    OK Comprox just read it.  For all those who want to ensure a happy, prosperous future for NS, this is the kind of jump-start that will definately help get things going when it first releases.  A host of 4 or more high-quality servers will be invaluable.  Don't be shy guys, Donate!!

    comprox does it matter if i send you euro's ? instead of dollars. just change them at a bank to dollars.

    Any currency is fine, I just put the page in US dollars, as that is what the payment will be in. Thanks <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->

    Make sure when u send money the money CAN'T be seen from outside the envelope. This will reduce the chance of "lost" mailings.
