I couldn't have said it better Mezzy!    :-*

Remember, those who just can't spare a dime can still help!  You can apply for OFPEC staff, make tutorials, submit news, every little thing helps!   ;D

Put me down for a small sum just as soon as my monthly bills are paid!   8)  It couldn't go to a better OFP site!  :thumbsup:

  Mates, I really wish i could spare some 'mula' (money) but I just dont have it. :\

  But I think I might have something up my sleeve to help out OFPEC.

P.S.: Congrats to Noon on his big promotion!

Noon: Nice to see you in as Site Admin m8.  :D

70USD heading your way guys. Sent through Kagi (it's official...I hate PAYPAL!! Who ever designed that site should be shot).

It amazes me sometimes where people think all the money comes from to run the various websites that we enjoy in the community. The perception that if its on the Internet it's free starts permeate through everyone's thinking....and it's just plain wrong.

Someone...somewhere along the line has to pay for the site and various services associated with it.

When I started and ran OFPEC it was costing me near to 200USD a month....and I never asked anything in return for the longest time. Then we did our first donations drive (which was very successful) and this brought OFPEC into a new era.

Guys...the money isn't used to pay for our summer vacations...trust me on this. The money to keep these sites running has to come from somewhere....and we would rather it didnt come from intrusive pop ups and advertising.

Although I no longer pay for OFPEC....I do pay for Ballistic......but even so...I can spare some Friday night drinking money for Hubba and the crew to keep this place running.

Keep up the good work guys! ;D

:thumbsup:

Much appreciated, my good man. :D  The cost of HuBBa's crack habit was getting out of hand and every donation helps to cover it up.

...... errrrr ....... this is the Staff board, right? ....... *checks*

Oh sh*t!

;D ;D ;D





Again, many thanks to all currently involved in our server upgrade:

- Those that have donated so far, for providing the funds quicker than we expected and putting us ahead of schedule for our donation target. 8)

- HuBBa, for being our server b*tch and putting up with a "far too cheeky" Admin who I know he just wants to maim in slow and horrible ways. :o
But seriously, we couldn't run this site without your unbridled generosity. :-*

So to everyone, I say thank you and continue to donate if you can (don't forget, we take as much or as little as you can offer!). Once we hit our target, you'll quickly notice the result of your generosity in the form of a much quicker and more efficient OFPEC.
:-* :)

There...  a token 20€:s sent your way. Not much, but I hope it helps in some way.

Now, being a hardware/server junkie, I have alwasy wondered what kind of setup is running OFPEC? How about a "behind the scenes" article with pictures of the OFPEC staff and the hardware?  ;D

Considering that would mean a view into the unorganized hell that is HuBBa's apartment, you probably shouldn't be too excited about this ;D

I'll clean it up a bit and show some pics once i get the new server fully operational. Then i'll show what makes OFPEC tick ;)
