rhobix Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 Did you scrap the new server idea, or did just the donation option get lost somewhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyp [LDEV] Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 We actually found a better option for it, a rented option here in the US that will still enable us a very low cost and a near permanent uptime without requiring us to do hardware replacement and potentially be down a day or two for parts and so on. It actually turned out 1&1 offered us a rented option here that worked out to be cheaper month to month than what we had for our own servers. We'll see how it works out, our biggest deal was to avoid any contracts they might like to place us in just in case something happens.

Zathman Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 1&1 had proved unreliable for me in the past. Maybe they've changed, but I just know I'd never go their route again. Good luck with them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as we get the continuous performance we need, both in processing power, memory and internet bandwidth, it's ok by me. I don't think a bit of down-time is that big of an issue since we're not anywhere near live yet, but excessive lag and intermittent connection issues would be annoying.

Slayerman Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 The servers have been hosted with 1&1 for a while, and we cant say we haven't had many problem (most of the crashes are the software we run - not the server itself) So, as long as the US are as reliable and efficient as the UK counterpart, i cant see it being an issue Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zathman Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 When do the US Servers go live? Have any idea yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyp [LDEV] Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 Soon, I'm busy handling the final paperwork details with respective government agencies for Net-7 Entertainment, Inc. so that we can accept donations legally within the US. After I've got all that done, we're gonna acquire the plans and begin copying stuff over. As for 1&1 you've been playing on their servers for nearly 3 years now.

Searing Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 This may be on a different thread ..but exactly how much of a pain was it for you guys to get non-profit status? Just wondering...was it a real pain or was it just a matter of just going thru forms in the right order/method? would be nice to hear it was easier then you thought (although i doubt that) Searing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyp [LDEV] Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 non profit is a cake walk, you pay the fee and you got it. There's no approval. Tax exemption is what I'm working on now, and probably easy for our purposes because of what we are, but it will be expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falstar [MOD] Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 O.K. folks, let us keep our thread on the topic of the donation tracker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phorlaug[IS] Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 Guys and Girls I hate to bring this up but Is there any way to get the Monthly over goal to show on the following month. This month theres a surplus of $88.14 ? Maybe I'm not paying attention to the fact that it already is being carried over month to month. If so my bad. Maybe something like: Carried Over Amount - [b]$88.14[/b] Total Donation Amount - [b]$88.14[/b] Total Goal Amount - [b]$1225.00[/b] It would look good to see the balance start out on a positive note. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falstar [MOD] Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 well, we would still need to raise the same amount every month to stay on track. You can check out the balance tracker [url="https://forum.enb-emulator.com/index.php?/topic/5263-balance-tracking/"]here[/url], which shows the balance every month. You can see with the exception of Feb 1, the balance was slowly going up, which I imagine is the surplus donations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That should give a rough idea of where we stand at present. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenu [CDEV] Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 donation tracker seems to be busted again. I see several donations have come in the past two days but the total donated amount still appears to be $0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyp [LDEV] Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 Nah, it just didn't associate those donations with the goal, the user didn't select the goal on all of them. I set them manually. I also asked the developer if there was a way we could program it to default to the main goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klyde Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 I started to donate today, and noticed the tracker is FUBAR again. It won't allow you to select a "goal" option, and the tracker is not showing any totals for donations this month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyp [LDEV] Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 Fixed, and we've also lowered the donation goal as the final fees from the other stuff have been paid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
