The Archive Needs You!

[surf_toad (imported)]

Hey, where do we get to acknowledge everything YOU have done so far? I don't see a mention of what you have put in and how much You have done. This is already back to where it was, with the exception of the personals section, which we dearly miss for its comic relief value. But You have done so much to this point that it should be mentioned somewhere.

As far as what ever you need, i got your paypal and your back. You know that.

Dear IEunuch,

I have an internal IDE HP CD-writer 9300 series CD burner that is in prefect working condition just sitting around doing nothing. If you can use it just let me know and I'll be more than happy to donate it to the cause.

If you can use it, send me a PM with you shipping information and I'll send it along to you.

Come one, come all, be the first in your block to help fund the continued efficiency of the Eunuch Archive. IEunuch put the Stotyboard back together and now he needs hardware and cash to keep the EA running.

Dig deep you misers, empty your piggy banks, cash in your TCD's, withdraw some savings and help us save the EA from oblivion.

The EA is akin to PBS, it needs individual support as no corporations are going to come to our aid.

I, personally, sent IE my entire net worth. However, if I pay the postage, IE owes me 7 cents.

If you have $10, $100 or more to spare, our site needs it. Where else can we go if the EA closes?

Offers to loan the Wolf 7 cents so he can mail the empty envelope

There is no need to give me special thanks. I enjoy the Archive and want to see it continue.

If everyone who enjoys comming here donated a small amount, I'm sure it would go a long way in helping to keep things running.

Many thanks to IEunuch for his hard work.

I am still poor but will reiterate the offer I've made many times in the past: IE, I know MySQL pretty well, and am happy to help out with technical stuff.

Also, a book on MySQL is a waste of money, truthfully. The entire manual is online (in wiki format, no less, so you get all the nice comments from real people when some section is crappy, or they post neat tips and tricks) and between that and a basic understanding of SQL in general, you ought to be fine. MySQL is the easiest database to administer I've ever worked with.

While this my sound strange as have spent many a moon requesting donations (thank you all so very much for helping out), I have sent one in also.

What most here know already is that The Archive consists of more than one or two folk. No, we are a community and out of that community there are many whom volunteer thier time, money, and effort, to keep it going, write for it, and promote it.

Who would have ever thought we needed Media Directors, but we do now and have two who wonderfully volunteer thier time.

IE and I have been working out several things and it is best for The Archive to work itself in a different fashion. One even more globally and that is what we are striving for.

Kudo's to IE and all his very hard work! He really deserves a standing ovation for what he has done!!!!!

Lets hear it for IE!!!! I'll be the first to bow to him because he really does deserve it.

(bow) (bow) (Bow) THANK YOU BOTH!! --FLO--

Bow and smiles to one and all! Especiall Tal and IE! And all other donators!!

I had a strange thought yesterday. I was wondering how cool it would be to have like ... some kind of way of seeing how much we'd managed to raise? I just wonder if it would help boost morale to actually be able to see the progress, set targets, and perhaps help encourage regular donations in the process? Hehe just a thinking out loud I suppose!

I'm with Christina on that one! Small, but regular donations from everyone is probably the best way to go! Keep up the good work, all!! And thank you!

i have no idea what i have kittied in but there were a couple computers and i think a few hundred in cash. i donno, lost track. whatever is needed, though, i am going for it. it is hard to put into words what it is like to have a place to go when you need hugs and i have so many friends here. i could not function without this place.

i am all for dues though and will be the first to set up an auto pay through paypal to either IEunuch or Talula. i have both of them in my paypal roll-a-dex.
